Femme Fatale
Hollywood, California

FEMME FATALE "It's been 25 years since the band was born," Lorraine Lewis leader of FEMME FATALE explains. "I thought it would be a great way to celebrate everything that we'd done and open the door to the future. "That future got bright once Lorraine assembled an All Star cast of all female players for the 21st century incarnation of FEMME FATALE. It's the first time in the group's history that it has featured all females in its ranks. She enlisted shredders Nita Strauss of Consume the Fire & The Iron Maidens, Courtney Cox of The Iron Maidens, Janis Tanaka on bass, whose credits include Pink & L7, Rachael Rine formerly ofCockpit, Athena, another drummer & one of the stars of the reality show - Ex Wives of Rock on Fuse TV, & Katt Scarlett on keyboards. "I always wondered what it would be like to play with an all-girl band," Lewis goes on. "Nita and Courtney are shred masters. Their guitars solos are flawless. Since I'm from the David Lee Roth 'School of Rock', I love all the flying hair and boobs.Rachael is a slamming drummer, and Janis crushes on bass so the rhythm section is smokin' and powerful. Katt is a great keyboard player and singer. Add Athena to the mix, and we reach a whole new level of crushing. It's a group of super-in-your-face females who know how to play, how to put on a show, and love rocking their asses off. We're bringing sexy back." Sexy has certainly returned as this wild crew will reinvigorate and recharge classics like "Rebel", "Waiting for the Big One", "Fallin' In and Out of Love" and more. Now is Femme Fatale's time. "We want to give fans a chance to remember what rock 'n' roll is all about," concludes Lewis. "What is that? Rocking your ass off."
