Underwire
ATT: Underwire is now known as PIMPINELLA. Please visit our web site: www.pimpinella.net and at our new Soundclick.com page: http://www.soundclick.com/pimpinella
Underwire is a pop-punk-rock trio based in Toronto, Canada. Formed in the summer of 2000 by guitarist/songwriter Esma, Underwire's sound is a molotov cocktail of crunchy, melodic riffs, pretty vocals and harmonies and tongue-in-cheek lyrics.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
* Underwire was formed in the summer of 2000 by guitarist/songwriter Esma.
* I (Esma) searched long and hard for the right musicians for this band. Underwire went through a few member changes and spent some time as a solo project before Matt Coverly joined in on drums in Sept/02 and Edgar LeBel joined in on bass in Oct/02.
* In May of 2000, Underwire recorded a 5-song demo CD. We are planning on recording a full-length album in the fall of 2003.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
We just started playing live in September, so we haven't gotten around to playing a lot of places yet. Just a few clubs in Toronto, once in Hamilton and I've (Esma) played some other places when Underwire was still my solo project. We're probably going to play in Rochester, NY in the spring, and hopefully do some more out-of-town dates.
