CYNIX

Cynix, even though a fairly recent newcomer to the modern rock music scene, has quickly established itself as one of the most sought-after unsigned acts today. The Clear Channel’s New Music Network hailed the new fusion as "modern rock pop electronica and alternative, with slight influences drawn on jazz and bossa-nova. The result is a sexy pumping groove with some really catchy hooks... It will hit you like PJ Harvey, or Patti Smith, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Portishead, but with the mainstream appeal of say, Coldplay." With their virtuoso street smarts, quiet sarcasm, and a debut album that has been hailed one which has "all the makings of a pop culture hit and still manages to bring something new to the table", Cynix is catching the ears and attention of a worldwide audience Summer 04’ West Coast Tour with new wave legend- Bow Wow Wow featuring Adrian Young of No Doubt and Oslo Dirty Laundry", "Audacity", and "Dirty Little Secret" have all reached UMN's top 10 alternative charts since the release. "Dirty Laundry" hit number 4 on the Unsigned Music Network's alternative chart and is holding strong "Cynix’s smash debut album, "Dirty Laundry" has received distribution through Tower Records, among other fine retailers and countless digital distributors worldwide Cynix is bringing audiences what they are hungry for: a connection and a change. Built from the ashes of a few of NYC's most popular bands gone wrong, Cynix has a story that would rival any Oscar-winning screenplay. It is a tale filled with deception, cheating, theft, violence, tragedy, and the determination to tell it like it is.

With over 10,000 CDs sold independently, and a rapidly growing fan base on both coasts, Cynix is ready to bring music back where it belongs- to a state of creativity - that still reaches audiences like nothing else. The group is led by vocalist Karen Xerri, "whose unique vocal style is quite impressive. For such a small girl, this little vixen produces an amazingly powerful sound that is controlled and hauntingly seductive."(NMN 2003), drummer Rick Donato, who has been hailed by rhythm aficionados as "quite the machine", and guitarist John Packes whose guitar chops have brought that raw edge that Cynix fans crave. Cynix members have achieved international exposure in their current project as well as numerous former projects.

Cynix is Finally in the Spotlight After More than their Share of Insanity. “After two car wrecks, a robbery, and a death threat or two back in New York, within a week of completing the debut album my focus was still on the music. The focus is always on the music.” Scoff if you will, but Mark Paradiso, multi-instrumentalist (at age 22, he currently has mastered 14 instruments and is tinkering with a fifteenth), co-producer and co-writer of Cynix knows the pitfalls of bands “gone wrong”. And he should; NYC natives and new modern rockpop/electronic band mainstay, Cynix, has been dealt quite a bizarre hand in the short amount of time they have been around. Built from the ashes of a few of NYC’s most popular bands gone wrong, Cynix has a story that would rival any Oscar-winning screenplay. Fronted by petite powerhouse Karen Xerri (23), the threesome has released the anticipated debut album, Dirty Laundry, under their own label, Playground Productions (NY/LA) and is set in full gear to promote with the West Coast Dirty Laundry Tour. The tour, which includes stops in most major cities in California will include a special performance with 80s legend, Bow Wow Wow in San Francisco featuring Adrian Young of No Doubt and for the LA crowd, a special performance and CD Release Party at LA's famed Viper Room on August 8. The Clear Channel’s New Music Network hailed the new fusion as “electronica, modern/alternative, and rockpop with slight influences drawn on jazz and bossa-nova. The result is a sexy pumping groove with some really catchy hooks.... " The real substance here is in fact, the music. It will hit you like PJ Harvey, or Patti Smith, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs or Portishead, but with the mainstream appeal of say, Coldplay. "Xerri's unique vocal style is quite impressive. For such a small girl, this little vixen produces an amazingly powerful sound that is controlled and hauntingly seductive. But these three young ones with their virtuoso street smarts, quiet sarcasm, and a debut album that has been hailed one which has “all the makings of a pop culture hit and still manages to bring something new to the table”, are heading to California for the Dirty Laundry West Coast Tour.
