Ginger Sling EPK - Power Pop

Ginger has been playing in bands and writing songs since her freshman year in High School. So when Spring rolled around in 2004 Ginger decided it was time to start her own band and called it Ginger Sling.

Before Ginger Sling began, Ginger was in a band called the Halo Friendlies. The Friendlies accomplished many things that bands only dream of. They toured the United States many times over on the Vans Warped Tour and toured with such bands as Good Charlotte and Funeral for a Friend. With the Halos, Ginger has toured the UK five times and has done two USO tours after 9/11 playing shows in Bosnia, Kosovo and Germany. The Halo Friendlies released an album for EMI's Tooth and Nail Records and recorded a song for the Freaky Friday Soundtrack in 2003. They also received a gold record for the sale of over 500,000 copies of the Soundtrack. From 2001-2002 Ginger was also the bass player for the band Lo Ball where she had the opportunity to work with John Porter (The Smiths, Morrissey) and Michael Beinhorn (Hole, Soundgarden). She has also performed live with producer Linda Perry and fellow solo artist Sierra Swan.

Throughout 2004-2006, Ginger has recorded her own music and released a 5 song EP called "The Room" and has released a group of demos called the "Laguna Beach Demos". Her total download sales exceed the 12,000 mark and continue to sell through iTunes and most every digital music store online. Her music has been featured on MTV's "The Real World", "Making the Band", "Pimp My Ride", "Meet the Barkers" and "Laguna Beach". She also recorded a song for the Disney feature film, "Sky High" that was released in theaters in the US in July of 2005. Her cover of the song, "Can't Stop the World" is featured on the Soundtrack.

Ginger Sling's own music is powerful, melodic and full of pop and rock sensibilities. Her main influences are the Beatles, Elvis Costello, Superdrag and Elliott Smith. Ginger Sling, named after a lyric in the Beatles' song "Savoy Truffle," is backed by a rocking band with herself on bass. Ginger loves to write songs but also loves to play live. She performs regularly around Southern California and has performed on the Vans Warped Tour. Keep an eye out for when she comes to your town. You won't want to miss it.

I can not believe how noone has posted any Letter's To Cleo's/Kay Hanley comments. This is Kay hanley's vocals and Music!!! OMG. If you're not familiar with who she is, Go to iTunes and sample Letter's To Cleo's songs "Come On" "Cruel To Be Kind" and "I See" or type them in on YOUTUBE. Also Listen to "Anchor", "I'm A Fool" "Co Pilot" "Veda Very Shining". The melodies, Lyrics, Vocals and band are seriously cloning Kay Hanley and her band from the late 90's. This girl should be in jail!
