Bio

Annie Minogue Band Bio
The band’s driving and energizing sound, which combines a gutsy rock attitude, great pop sensibility with a hint of the blues, is reminiscent of rock’s greatest female icons. The lineup which consists of Nick Saya (Drums), Nunzio Signore (Guitar & Vocals), Brian Karp (Bass), Rob Clores (Keyboards) and Annie Minogue (Vocals) never fails to stimulate and excite audiences.

AMB has toured both nationally and regionally, and shared the stage with such iconic artists as: Blues Traveler, The Smithereens, David Lee Roth, Chris Whitley, Dave Navarro, Black Eyed Peas, Soul Asylum, Los Lobos, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Eric Gales and numerous others.
Their craft for songwriting, along with Annie’s powerfully expressive voice and the band’s dynamic rock sensibilities, have given the group firm roots within the music world. Having garnered acclaim and praise from some of today’s top music supervisors and program directors, AMB’s music has enjoyed substantial media time. Their music has been featured on film, TV, and radio such as: Lifetime Television, Sony Television, MSNBC, MTV, CBS, CW, WB, “Dawson’s Creek,” “Strong Medicine,” regional radio stations and the independent feature film “Out of the Black.”

Annie Minogue is also the co-creator and executive producer of two popular concert series. “Fair Play,” a concert series sponsored by City Winery that benefits the Bronx Immigration Partnership. Over the course of two shows, the Annie Minogue Band has performed alongside artists including: Chris Difford from Squeeze, Robben Ford, David Poe, Tracy Bonham, Richard Barone, and Trixie Whitley. “It’s All Relative,” a family show presented by The Bitter End, consists of three very different bands with one thing in common, they’re related. The three acts are Americana band Country City, followed by indie folk-rock artist, The Violet Mine and the driving rock and blues of the Annie Minogue Band.

AMB just released their new single NOW! from their upcoming album “Suburbia.” A true tour de force of songwriting, production, and musicality, just one listen and you will understand why so many people keep falling in love with their music in the first place.

Lyrics

NOW!

How little you say
When you don’t get your way
We will ever be able to break this chain?

The problem is this
We try our best to resist
As we pray about what we’re gonna miss

Hey, do you think about, do you think about us?
Hey, what’s the fuss about, is the fuss about us?

We need a safer place to land
Watch us as we take a stand
Now, Now, Now, Now
With your finger in the dam
We’ve got to get out while we can
Now, Now, Now, Now

There’s blood in the streets
We watch as it won’t retreat
You’ve got it on the run
We just have to believe

Like a thread pulling through
You say the losses are few
While you contemplate what you’re gonna do

Hey, do you think about, ever think about us?
Hey, can you care about, why don’t you care about us?

We need a safer place to land
Watch us as we take a stand
Now, Now, Now, Now
With your finger in the dam
We’ve got to get out while we can
Now, Now, Now, Now
