Antigone Rising
This just in from Leslie Atkinson ...
Cathy Henderson and Kristen Henderson are Chiat/Day alums (late 90's - early 00’s). They are sisters and, ironically, were both Senior Media Planners. They left Chiat/Day to follow their musical dream full time and are doing quite well. I think Jay would be proud of their desire and tenacity.
Their band, Antigone Rising, was signed by Lava/Atlantic this past summer, and their first Lava/Atlantic release is due out this summer. I've actually been pitching in the last four years helping them with publicity. They have two shows in NYC this weekend, and I'm sure they'd appreciate a little "alum love."
Specifics: 2/13 and 2/14 Crash Mansion 199 Bowery Street at Spring Ages 18+ More info: http://www.antigonerising.com. I've also attached a press photo to post. Kristen is the second from the left in the back, and Cathy is next to her. Could you please post something pithy in the hopes we can get some alums to the shows?
[This is truly "artist" week on JayDay, isn't it? First we had David Chapa writing a book, then Leslie Cicurel Engel appearing on stage, and now this. I feel an almost overwhelming urge to run away and join the circus. And why not? I've been a clown for years! Steve]
