The Pink Lipsticks are one of the Midwest's new and upcoming bands. They hail from the Bratwurst capital of the world, Sheboygan, WI. They easily grab the attention of music lovers and venues wherever they play. Drawing crowds, and fans, they've started to pack bars and small clubs. With many years of experience under their belts, they are geared up and ready to rock their way to the top!
The band consists of four Lipsticks.
Mike Willis – Mike is the founding member of The Pink Lipsticks and you will find him playing the guitar, keyboard, and singing lead vocals in the band. He has been writing music since a child. In high school he joined and contributed to a band called Buzzkill, a band way beyond it’s age. Mike also formed The Barbecue Band and as he went to college, joined The Cool Waters Band. From 1996 to 1999, The Cool Waters Band packed various venues, before packing their bags for Colorado. And after a few years Mike eventually left the band and moved to L.A. to attend film school. While in L.A he worked on numerous soundtracks and films. Now back in his hometown, Mike is back on familiar grounds with family and friends guiding him. He formed The Pink Lipsticks and is ready to rock the Midwest once again!
Tony DePagter – Tony has been playing music for over 20 years. He plays the bass guitar in The Pink Lipsticks, and carries a voice that has rocked the countryside all the way from Chicago to New York City. He has also been a crowd pleaser in everyway possible.
Bob Schmidt – Bob has been playing guitar since the age of 17. He has been in bands such as Sidecar & Waterlounge. Waterlounge is where Bob made a lot of noise in the 7 years the band was together. He has recorded 2 records, played over 200 shows, and packed venues all over the Midwest. Bob is a current member of the bands Magic Missile and Uncle Meat, where Bob is lead singer in both. However, his true passion is the Pink Lipsticks and the launching of the band.
Ryan Brown – Ryan has been playing drums since the age of nineteen and pulsates The Pink Lipsticks with his talent. The self-taught drummer has played in a variety of bands such as: Transparent Envelope, William Indian, Second Hand (a Germany Based Band), and Otter. Ryan is also a current member of the bands Magic Missile and Sirens of Titans. With being involved in so many bands, he is a true entertainer.

Green Room Pub 911 Indiana Ave Friday Night 9 P.M. The Steep Water Band
Everything about GRACE AND MELODY has the feel of natural born rockers determined to get everyone's rocks off. Producer Marc Ford does clean, endlessly effective work here, bringing his years of experience with The Black Crowes and others, allowing individual elements to shine – a groin throbbing bass run, the blue water purr of electric slide. This is the abounding whomp of a band that's always been very good, teetering on the edge of greatness. And by album's end I'd be surprised if you weren't rooting for them to topple all the way into full blown glory. ~ Dennis Cook | Jambase. com
