"November issue"

first question- Sassy,exciting, funk/ R&B with a modern twist. Like Candy Red is a band. Three sassy sisters in front with drums, bass, and guitar. Think "Earth Wind and Fire" meets "Envogue" with a little bit of "Supremes" choreography thrown into the live show. I'm convinced there is nothing out there like it.

second question- We have been in the indsutry for about 2 years now. My sisters and I met Brett, Todd , and Tom in 2004. They have a production company called " Zodlounge". We sang on a demo for a writer they were working with at the time. In 2008 we got back in touch with them. Brett came out and saw my sisters and I singing with my dad's Motown Cover band. His first words after the show were " this is what you girls need to be doing. We can put a modern twist on it". For so long my sisters and I had been told " you can't do R&B. You're White". We decided to give it a shot. So, we started writing with Brett Todd, and Tom and that's when Like Candy Red was born. We had never connected with writers the way we connected with three guys.

third question- We have a 6 song EP and additional songs on itunes as well.

fourth question- When my sisters and I decided we wanted to do music together we had an understanding that we wanted girls/women to feel strong when they listen to our music. We didn't want to go into this just to try and make great music. We wanted there to be a message that people could grab onto and maybe gain something from. Amazing bands like "Earth Wind and Fire", "Sly and The Family Stone", "Envogue" and artists like Aretha Franklin, Michael Jackson, Prince,Alicia Keys, Beyonce (just to name a few) are a huge inspiration to us musically. So, what inspires our music is not only just to make music that people love but to also give young girls strong role models and to remind women that's it's okay to wanna dress up and feel pretty and that men should be treating us like the lovely ladies that we are. Our signature song is " You Better Be Good To Me". I think every woman can relate to that.

Fifth question- My sisters and I are from Nashville, TN. born and raised. Brett, Todd and Tom are from Michigan.

6th question- Joss Stone, Alicia Keys, Beyonce, John Legend, Janelle Monae, John Mayer , Robin Thicke, Bonnie Rait etc...
7th question- All of these artist make great music and have an old school feel. They aren't making music just for pop radio. They have managed to make the music they want and be successful. That is very inspiring to us.

8th question- From the recorded music to the live show Like Candy Red is very unique. First, it's not just a girl group. It's a band. We write all the music together. I don't know any band out there right now that is three white sisters that sing soul music with super funky musicians. Our live show is choreographed from start to finish and my sister's and I are in full makeup and hair. The fashion part is important to us too. A Like Candy Red show is not just a show it's an experience. We had a fan one time say " You can't help but feel sassy and confident at a Like Candy Red show" That is our goal. You more red lipstick and attitude the better.

9th- We want people to know that we worked really hard. We stuck to what we believe and never took no for an answer. Not everyone is gonna love what we do but if we believe in it 100% no one can stop us.

10th- Connect with us online through likecandyred.com. You can find our twitter, facebook and myspace links through our site. Don't forget to buy out music on itunes! - AlwayzTherro

Bio

The Leading ladies of Like Candy Red, Bree, Lyndee, and Hailey, spent much of their childhood listening to their dad’s old record collection, putting on shows in the kitchen, and watching the Grammys.  Imagining someday, they too might be on that stage.  Today the sisters are pursuing that dream.  

Searching to revive the soul of those old records with the dance and pop sounds of today, the girls teamed up to write with Motown City musicians Tom, Todd, and Brett; a rhythm section relocated from Detroit.  Because the guys also share a love for both the in-your-face funk sound of yesterday as well as the modern-sounding production of today’s hits, they formed a strong bond while writing.  Like Candy Red was born.  The songs are hooky and tough.  The sound has been aptly described as Modern Retro-Pop/Soul.  

The music of Like Candy Red is universal.  With comparisons to acts such as Pink, En Vogue, The Supremes, Destiny's Child and Sly and the Family Stone, the live show will not disappoint.  There's an energy, a sense of urgency and excitement that fills the room when the band steps on stage.  It is a show for the senses...a true production from start to finish.  Visually, your eyes are glued to the girls as the songs are staged with mesmerizing choreography.   Sonically, you are enveloped with pop hooks, tight harmonies, and grooves that keep coming at you.  You feel the power and the struggles these ladies hold in their lyrics.  By the end of the show, you will realize you have been moving the whole time.

Maybe summed up best by their own words:  “You Better Be Good To Me" and "I only wanna love you", strong and sexy combine.  They are not afraid to stand out from the crowd, demand your attention, and leave you wanting more...
