Side FX is a six piece band that hails from Washington DC with an alternative pop sound that is all their own. The band, who is well known for exploring new sounds and combining rhythms and beats that together offer the unexpected, have and continue to break traditional boundaries within the music industry. In a short period of time, Side FX has accomplished what takes most bands years to do. The band is fronted by sultry singer/songwriter/designer Kim Cameron. Cameron, a prominent business woman had spent the last decade working up the corporate ladder until in 2007, a family tragedy led her to re-evaluate her life and goals. After realizing the preciousness of life, Kim decided to break free from the corporate cage, use her business savvy and pursue her lifelong passion for music. Side FX was formed in 2008, the band was launched with their CD, “Contradictions”. The cd was well received and featured on hundreds of US and International radio stations. The industry attention they received along with their innovative marketing caught the eye of indie label Realize Records and in early 2009 the band was signed to a multi–album deal. The band motto of “More than Just Music” along with their eclectic mix of genres, that showcase Kim’s complexity and diversity as a songwriter and a woman have garnered them hundreds of thousands of matches on Google and website hits just within the last year. Side FX makes it a point to perform at events that allow them to give back to causes that are close to the band members. Recently, the band reached a personal goal when performing at Walter Reed Medical Center for the injured service men and women. Cameron has made it her goal to express her passion for music along with her sensitivity to the human experience. The bands sophomore CD, Turning Point is scheduled for release in early 2010. The CD which was produced by Robert Jazayeri (No Doubt, Garbage, Britney Spears) transitions flawlessly from smooth sultry vocals and piano to driving beats and roaring guitars that make you want to get up and dance. The CD takes you on a journey with inspired lyrics that are relatable and compelling. “This album is truly my best work.” says Cameron. The video from the first single, “Timeless” has already created a buzz on youtube, receiving thousands of views. Side FX is currently is gearing up for their Turning Point: “It’s your Turn tour” slated to coincide with the release of the CD. When asked about the future Kim states, “We will keep pushing ourselves– to be better than we were yesterday. We are just getting started” Side FX band will be coming your way soon to offer an eclectic blend of pop, rock and jazz into a smooth, groovy listening experience. |
