The Melloncollies Rock the Runway
The Melloncollies to Perform NY Fashion Week at 80’s Fashion Rocks Show
January 29, 2009, New York…Brooklyn trio The Melloncollies have been invited to play 80’s Rocks Fashion Show, a fashion week event, scheduled for Sunday February 15, 2009. Doors open at 7pm, at the Time Square Arts Center, 699 W 8th Avenue.
Last years’ performing artists included Lil’ Mama and Cheri Denis, and featured designs from emerging brands like Celebutante, by Sean Jean alum, Khary Septh and Catou by Bernie Martin.
The Melloncollies with be in the company of other ridiculously talented emerging artists, who will play snippets of 80s songs, followed by a few of their own tracks.
With equal doses winsomeness and irreverence, The Melloncollies are the latest in a hallowed line of Brooklyn-bred quintests to unfurl the witty sonic flag and punch back: yes, pop can be daring. Their new album, Goodbye Cruel World, finds the band—led by vocalist/guitarist Simon Erani and rounded out by Peter Claro (production/guitars/bass) and Jeffrey Braha (drums)—in fine lyric fettle, intent on matching their past successes with their latest salvo.
Goodbye Cruel World has been called “an emotive exploration of feelings, failures, and fun,” a powerful departure from rote pop and saccharine schmaltz.
