Dimestars formed in 1999 and consisted of Roxanne Wilde (vocals), Morgan Quaintance (guitar), Joe Holweger (drums) and Tom Hanna (bass). They released their first single entitled ‘Solo So Long’ in October 2000. In March 2001, Dimestars were the support act for Kylie Minogue’s sold out UK tour. The second single entitled ‘My Superstar’ was released in June and only just managed no. 72 in the UK singles chart.

The studio album ‘Living for the Weekend’ was recorded and released for promotion purposes, but not commercially released. Subsequently, the band broke up in the summer of 2001.

Holweger joined Adam Ant‘s backing band in 2010. Quaintance joined the band Plugs.

From the first day Paul picked up a bass at age 12, friends and family noticed that the lefty had his own approach to the instrument –literally upside down and backwards – (left handed bass, strung right handed). He eventually went on to become one of the best players in his local New York and New Jersey scene and eventually to international success with some of the worlds finest artists.
Paul is regularly touring with Nena, as he has been a member of the band since 2001. While working with Nena he has received two platinum and two gold records including those that he was awarded as a one of the co-writers of Nena’s ‘Willst Du Mit Mir Gehen’ record.
Paul has also performed and recorded with various artists including, Billy Joel, Paul Simon, Carly Simon, Lauryn Hill, M-People, Steve Gadd, Toots Thielemans, Ace Frehley, and Enrique Iglesias, to name a few.
He played bass on Kim Wilde’s track You Keep Me Hangin’ On (2006).

DeadraveN started in 1998 as a three piece punk band in Idaho (USA), but main band member Brady Lindsay soon went solo using the band name in collaborations with like minded musicians. His music was broadcast in college radio stations in the USA, but as the internet became more popular his appeal went global. According to Lindsay, the music and the persona of DeadraveN is always evolving, but never ventures far from the goth roots it started in.

One of DeadraveN’s – as yet officially unreleased – songs is a cover version of Kids in America.

Born as Doris Von Kappelhoff, 3 April 1924 in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. One of popular music’s premier post-war vocalists and biggest names, Kappelhoff originally trained as a dancer, before turning to singing at the age of 16. After changing her surname to Day, she became the featured singer with the Bob Crosby Band. A similarly successful period with the Les Brown Band saw her record her single for Columbia, ‘Sentimental Journey’, which sold more than a million copies. Already an accomplished businesswoman, it was rumoured that she held a substantial shareholding in her record company. After securing the female lead in the 1948 movie “Romance On The High Sea” she enjoyed a stupendous movie career. Her striking looks, crystal clear singing voice and willingness to play tomboy heroines, as well as romantic figures, brought her a huge following. In common with other female singers of the period, she was occasionally teamed with the stars of the day and enjoyed collaborative hits with Frankie Laine (‘Sugarbush’) and Johnnie Ray (‘Let’s Walk That A-Way’). She appeared in nearly 40 movies over two decades. These films featured some of her most well known hits.
Day enjoyed a further UK chart topper with the romantically uplifting Que sera sera. After a gap of nearly six years, she returned to the charts with the sexually inviting movie theme ‘Move Over Darling’, co-written by her producer son Terry Melcher. Her Hollywood career ended in the late ’60s and thereafter she was known for her reclusiveness. After more than 20 years away from the public’s gaze, she emerged into the limelight in 1993 for a charity screening of one of her movies, ‘Calamity Jane’ in her home town of Carmel, California. History has made her an icon, whose fresh-faced looks, sensual innocence and strikingly pure vocal style effectively summed up an era of American music.

She passed away on 13 May 2019 after contracting pneumonia. She was survived by one grandson.
