Rock Has Had Its Share of Sex Icons. Here Come More?
Remember Charlie Sheen’s “goddess” Bree Olson? Looks like the former Penthouse Pet and adult film actress is adding band manager to her resume after signing to represent Tight, a band made up entirely of porn stars.
“The biggest challenge a porn star band faces is being taken seriously,” she is quoted as saying in MSN’s music blog. “These are very talented musicians but not everyone is willing to give them a chance.”
To get that chance, the band is releasing a straight-to-DVD “mockumentary” this September, of their trials and tribulations as they attempt to take on the music industry. According to GuitarWorld, the film footage features the band’s former lead singer, Monica Mayhem. Maybe those cat fights are not so mock after all?
Tight is currently comprised of vocalist Kelley Jean, Tuesday Cross on bass, Alicia X. Andrews on drums, and Layla Labelle on guitar. Their sound is being described as “alternative blues,” by DetroitDungeon. Here’s one of their lighter tunes, “On My Own”:
We’re annoyed the “mockumentary” isn’t being released as a series for free on the web. Look, we know a musician’s gotta eat, but if those girls mean to make it, they need to look beyond the way both porn and the music industry’s old guard do it and embrace freemium.
