Powder

Not to end up being confused with additional bands which have been named Natural powder — among that was a Who-obsessed ’60s combo from your SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA Bay Region — this Natural powder became among the best live attractions over the Los Angeles/Hollywood membership picture in 2001. That didn’t result in major national identification immediately; when 2003 appeared, the choice pop/rock and roll music group still wasn’t extremely well-known in other areas of america. But locally, the L.A. citizens created a solid buzz and created a small however highly enthusiastic pursuing. As opposed to all of the alterna-rockers whose lyrics are reality-based, Natural powder brings a wholesome dose of illusion and escapism to the desk. Between lead vocalist/creator Ninette Terhart’s multi-colored, over-the-top sex charm as well as the band’s wildly theatrical live present, Natural powder is an extremely fun, entertaining music group. Southern Californians who’ve seen Natural powder live have frequently commented on what Terhart and close friends have perhaps one of the most interesting concert events in choice pop/rock and roll; like the Pipes, Kiss, and Alice Cooper throughout their heyday, the associates of Natural powder goes out of the way to put up a present. But if Powder’s live shows represent a go back to the type of outrageous showmanship which was a big section of ’70s and ’80s rock and roll, the band’s music is normally far from vintage. Powder’s associates, who explain their infectious music as “turbo-pop,” favour a method of choice pop/rock and roll that’s hard and intense however melodic, poppy, and hooky — their audio is a combined mix of Garbage, Republica, and Veruca Sodium. Terhart formed Natural powder in early 2001, when she recruited guitarist Phil X, bassist Allan Hearn, and drummer J-Bo Dynamite. Before Natural powder, Terhart already acquired a musical resumé; in 2000, she captured the eye of manufacturer/songwriter Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds (who was simply fifty percent of the metropolitan contemporary group L.A. & Babyface), and was asked to accomplish some work with the film Josie & the Pussycats (an early-’00s version from the Archie comics favorite). Terhart, who’s classically qualified, coached the movie’s stars. (Edmonds created the soundtrack.) Phil X, in the mean time, has played acoustic guitar on albums by Rob Zombie, Alice Cooper, and Ways of Mayhem (previous Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee’s rap-metal task of 1999). Natural powder released its debut recording, Sonic Machine, alone label, Natural powder Information, in 2002.
