NYC: AIMEE ALLEN TRIO AT CAFE DU SOLEIL
The Aimee Allen Trio returns to CAFE DU SOLEIL (2723 Broadway, NYC - 212-316-5000) on Friday, December 5th with sets from 8:00 to 11:00 pm. Aimee is joined by Alex Levine - guitar and Francois Moutin - bass. Aimee Allen was signed to Electra Records in 2002 after being discovered by producer Randy Jackson. Her debut album I'd Start a Revolution If I Could Get Up in the Morning, featuring tracks produced by Mark Ronson and Don Gilmore, was never released due to the label being absorbed by Atlantic Records. The label did, however, release her first single "Revolution", which was a featured rock video on MTV as well as the theme for the WB Television Network series Birds of Prey. Allen contributed to the writing of Unwritten Law's album Here's to the Mourning, released in February 2005. She co-wrote lyrics for the entire album with lead singer Scott Russo including the hit single "Save Me (Wake Up Call)", which was co-written and produced by Linda Perry. She returned the following year as a judge at the 8th Annual IMA's. Aimee is known for her vocals on the song "Cooties" made for the soundtrack of the 2007 version of the movie Hairspray.
