Music:Member Since: 8/24/2005Band Website: coming soon... Band Members: About the Band: Mike Roi grew up in Jupiter, South Florida (amazing girls—too many gators), moved to Philadelphia for a bit (great time, loooong story) and is now residing in Brooklyn, NY (not enough gators). After releasing records out of Florida with Brother Grimm (TALES, Canana Colony), then with his band Roi out of Philadelphia (Pink Swirl e.p., Intergalactic Rodeo-available on iTunes), Mike formed "Roi and the Secret People" with the help of Joe Roullier (guitar,mandolin), Noel Rockwood (slide guitar), Dose (Drum,Bass), and Dan Ginden(organ, Keys, Piano). Noel Rockwood. A New York City native, Noel formed the band The Snapdragons in 1989. The Snapdragons were a power trio out of Athens, Ohio. Signed with Atlantic Records in 1991, they released a self-titled album that year which climbed the college radio charts and received much critical acclaim. They toured the United States, opening for Soul Asylum, The Dead Milkmen, and Superchunk. Noel returned to NYC in 1993. Since then, he has played in such groups as Shiny Mama and The New Professionals. Influences: Tom Petty,Nick Cave,16 horsepower,Bowie,Iron Maiden,Neil Diamond,Waylon Jennings,Tragically Hip,Tom Waits,George Jones,Billy Holiday,Neil Young View Roi and the Secret People's EPK VISIT Roi and the Secret People follow roibo at http://twitter.com Sounds Like: Roi and the Secret People-Monday .. "Soaring high, scraping bottom. Talking trash about cars and girls in a voice bigger than Texas. Whispering about fears. These are the vistas Roi visits." "Growing up in South Florida I was surrounded by the music of Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Tanya Tucker — wives, booze, fights, guns, trucks," says Roi of the character dilemmas that infiltrate the album. "All that just kinda stuck in my head… in a little rusty box, so whenever I’m diggin’ in the backyard of my head for lyrics, my shovel has a tendency to hit that box." -a.d. amorosi-city paper-Philadelphiacheck out the r.S.p.page at-DOG ST.-LIVE- NYC-Arlene's Grocery-12/01/07 "Mike Roi and his group of talented 'Secret People' perform his original material with a classic rock sensibility and a southern soul that reminds us all what is great about rock and roll in America."April Erin Farrell- Office of the Director Museum of Arts & Design--- Record Label: Bookings:Roibomusic at- roibo2000@yahoo.com Type of Label: None |
