REDCAR

Heather Reid, formerly of the Murmurs and Gush, has a sensual and distinctive voice and a vulnerability and passion that is impossible to ignore. Onstage, Reid's energy is infectious, as she feeds off the band's bashful swagger and her very persoanl lyrics. A force of nature, Heather brings an intensity and joy to her performances that fuels the band and everyone else who listens.

Josh Skibic (lead guitar) takes his inspiration from musicians such as James Honeyman Scott and Billy Zoom. You may recognize Jon from Greg Dullis The Twilight Singers, The Gigolo Aunts, the Juliana Hatfield band, and Ivy. Jon anchors the band firmly in current indie rock with his complex riffs and hard-edged melodies.

Ryan MacMillan (drums) was previously a member of The Push Stars (Capitol Records) and has toured and recorded with artists such as Matchbox 20 (Exile on Mainstream), The Dixie Chicks, Paul Ducette (Reak and Repair Method/Matchbox) Steve McDonald (Redd Krass) and Anna Waronker (That Dog) as well as Tracy Bonham to name a few. Ryans experience and talent shows in every track.

The REDCAR Story
Heather and Jon met 4 years ago in Los Angeles when Heather's first band, The Murmurs, formed Gush, a band that was sadly run through the major label grinder within the first year. After Gush, Heather and Jon began to collaborate for the first time as co-writers, meeting a few times a week in Heather's closet of a writing studio in the heart of Hollywood. Their claustrophobia and Heather's calling to get back in front of live audiences lead the two to realize it was time to start a new band. Jon knew Ryan through the tight knit music scene in Boston, and Jon convinced Ryan to take REDCAR for a spin. He definitely needed an initial push says Skibic but, we gew on him. After some concentrated studio time, the trio have been wowing Los Angeles audiences on a regular basis with their live performanes.

REDCAR'S debut album, produced by Grammy award-winner Greg Collins (U2, Gwen Stefani), which was released in March 2007 on Phyllis Records, based in their hometown neighborhood of Silver Lake, in Los Angeles, California. They have also been selected as a Crtical Eye band by Yahoo! Music, which featured a live performance by the band, showcasing material from their debut album.

The band takes its name from the small seaside town of REDCAR in Northern England, the birthplace of Heather's mother and home to the most delicious fish and chips and mushy peas in all of England.
