Like many of her idols before her, Dana Detrick has chosen to wear many frilly hats: guitar virtuoso, producer, bandleader, mini mogul, singer/songwriter, opera composer, cat herder. She’s now embracing her pop roots and accepting her destiny to spread infectious, hook-laden, guitar driven productions across the independent music landscape, etching her name in the earth big enough to be seen from at least Venus.
Sometimes a tailhook echo precedes a vicious, violent storm. Sometimes it just gives a hint that one might develop, keeping you on your toes to either run for cover, or get ready for the show of your life.

David Bowie may have been the man who sold the world, but Post Orgasmic Trauma are making a valiant effort to buy it back, combining old school glam rock riffs with a penchant for strong pop hooks, funky, made-for-the-dancefloor bass lines, and sophisticated yet sassy fashion.

Gentelemen Prefer Bombs is like a science fiction poetry slam at a European disco, with the ghost of Andy Warhol taking pictures in the corner. Mixing driving electronica and timeless melodic hooks with visual media, old fashioned radio programs, and classic storytelling, it creates a pop culture phenom worthy of the origin of its name (The Simpsons, for anyone not keeping score at home).
I’m a little bit country, and I’m a little bit Edgar Allen Poe isn’t exactly how the song went, but this outfit is all about breaking tradition. Black Bar Prophecy lives at the crossroads of Loretta Lynn Boulevard and Robert Smith Drive, blending twang and twilight without apology, while cordially creating a buzz. “Bat Country” has never been such a nice place to visit!
