RUBBERLEGS - "Thank you so much for making our debut performance at Meow Mix so incrediblyspecial. It was our first full 45-minute set, and it truly felt "like the first time." It was wonderful to finally be able to hear what we were singing and playing -- ahh, the luxury of monitors! We loved sharing the evening with our fellow "track stars" Terry Christopher, SATURN, Michael DeMontagnes and *V*I*R*G*O*, and couldn't have found a better or warmer pair
of performing hosts than Robert Urban and YOLANDA. And to all of our friends who showed up to see and support us, "y'all ROCK." - Gordon SmithTim, a.k.a. The Timinator, took a whole bunch of great photos that we'd like to share with you, so I've posted them on our web site: Rubberlegs Meow Mix Gallery

Robert, I just wanted to write and say again thank you for the opportunity to perform in NY! I had a great time! Everyone was extremely supportive and so generous. As someone who is new to music and singing live, this was an awesome way to "get my feet wet" so to speak. I have to admit, I was a little nervous, but now I can't wait for a return visit! - SATURN

RUBBERLEGS
Described
as"the wackiest electronic duo since the Flying Lizards",
and "a cross between Devo and the Captain and Tenille" (!), Rubberlegs
like to think of themselves as midwives in the process of birthing waveforms.
Though they will always be three musically codependent friends, in many lifetimes
of group therapy,
Rubberlegs have recently reinvented themselves as a performing duo. "Coming out" of the studio at last, thanks to Carol Markowitz and the wonderful Outmusic family, they are dedicating their first-ever live performances to their dear departed partner Bob. They were thrilled when "China Too" and "People Who Talk in Elevators" made it into the Top 5 on MP3.com's New Wave chart, and they hope Bob is listening as they bring these and other songs out for people to hear at last.Also
Terry Christopher calls New York City home
but says that having been born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada otherwise known
as the City of Entertainment, had a huge impact in his love affair with the
stage. At an early age the performing bug bit him and he has never looked
back. Though Terry received his BFA in dance, singing and songwriting were
always in the mix. His new CD, Take Another Look, is the product of that love
affair.
After a few years on the road touring Europe,
the U.S., Canada and Mexico in musical stage productions, being a featured
lead singer in various revues and getting his groove on for choreographers
like Barry Lather, Arlene Phillips, Jerry Jackson and Michael Peters, Terry
decided it was time to write down his words and sing his own songs. With so
much free time while on the road, notebook after notebook were filled with
lyrics and song ideas. Those ideas were placed on hold until the time was
right and they are now breathing freely on his new disc, Take Another Look.
TERRY CHRISTOPHER
(Intraxis) *V*I*R*G*O* is New York City's bad boy of
Queer-Alternative music. His debut single 'Alpha Male' has received international
airplay and was listed as one of Outvoice's top 50 songs of 2001. *V*I*R*G*O*
has been defined as a groove scientist, always seeking new sounds and innovative
ways to create them. From these sounds, he weaves rich rhythmic and harmonic
textures which carry intricate detail for the skilled listener. His 'Moderate
Extremism' debut LP continues to push the limits of genre and technology.
Multifaceted singer/songwriter, Michael DeMontagnes,
has been writing since age ten. He won several awards for poetry and placed
first in the Pennsylvania All State Chorus Festival in 1992. Was accepted
at Mansfield's University for Music. Unable to get a start anywhere, Michael
gave up on his dream of doing anything musically until the spring of 2002.
Now working with a Grammy Award winning studio, Michael and his producer Dave
Gerhart, have been creating some of today's most cutting edge music. Finishing
up with his first promotional CD "Walls Tumbling" in September of
2002. Michael has been receiving attention across the world....from NY to Australia.
We look forward to many more recordings in the future. Look for Michael's
music at www.cdbaby.com or www.galaris.com
SATURN
In September of 2001, however, Saturn decided
to do what he had always dreamed of since childhood and pursue a career
in music. Having written over 200 songs, he taught himself to play each
part of every song on "The Virgin Poet". The final product is
a pop album which he solely conceptualized, wrote, composed and produced.
Most recently, Saturn was honored to be a featured artist on Audiofile.
Audiofile is a segment of This Way Out, a gay and lesbian radio news magazine
that is broadcast nationally on over 130 stations. It is only the beginning
of what promises to be a long and fascinating career.www.iamsaturn.com

Recordings: Moderate Extremism
MICHAEL DeMONTAGNES
"When I grow up, I want to be
a pop idol." And the seed was planted early. When Saturn was five, if
you awoke early enough on a Sunday morning, you'd catch him outside on the
porch, his tiny feet buried in his grandmother's high heels and her Sunday
hat falling lopsided on his head, singing out his favorite gospel hymns to
the top of his lungs. Fast forward twenty years and he's lost the heels and
the hat, but he's still singing. Graduating with honors from Texas Christian
University with a degree in TV/Film/Theatre, Saturn pursued acting instead
of music. He's had leading roles in numerous professional shows including
"Six Degrees of Separation", "Johnnie B. Goode", "Angels
in America", and "Much Ado About Nothing". He also starred
in the Independent film "Playin' for the Kitty". While busy acting,
he also won awards with his short stories and screenplays and worked alongside
J. Todd Harris (producer of the recent "Urbania") for J. Todd Harris
Productions in LA.
