Congratulations to our very own Half Demon Doll! These young ladies formed at our 2007 Girls Rock N Roll Retreat. After camp was over, they stayed together and played many gigs (including the MN State Fair and First Ave), recorded a demo and had a professional photo shoot by Daniel Corrigan. In the fall of '08, they entered a contest sponsored by Little Steven's Underground Garage, the Hard Rock Cafe and Teen Vogue... and made it to the finals! They were flown out to NYC to play a battle of the bands at the Hard Rock Cafe in front of a sold out crowd AND THEY WON! They were awarded a record deal with Little Steven's record label, Wicked Cool Records, as well as a photo shoot in an upcoming issue of Teen Vogue (we'll keep ya posted!) and a bunch of cool Gibson gear. Way to go girls, we're so unbelievably proud of them!!!
