BIOGRAPHY

Born in Tampa Bay when Texan Pam Green, Kentucky Girl Lisa Noe and Floridian Amy Black decided that separately they were good but together they are delicious! Tami Gordon rocks up the mix with her innovative and impassioned guitar playing and vocal harmonies.   They are rocking in the studio now recording their 2nd CD, soon to be released.

DISCOGRAPHY

2008 - 2nd full-length all original CD due out soon!

2004 - Providence (full-length all original CD)

..."Big Beautiful Woman makes a big and brassy' statement as a lyric and as a song defining the role of women with a feeling reminiscent of Helen Reddy's I Am Woman - at the height of Women's Lib. Sweet Desire, Is Love Real and several other cuts deal with the never-ending search to find the meaning of love. This CD is about human emotions no fluff songs to be found just honest feelings about life."... Accent Tampa Bay October 2006

PRESS

..."This all-female band, consists of members from all over the US and Canada. The Tampa Bay area has become the launching pad for this soulful and ever-changing rock-edged band. The multi-facetted Karmic Tattoo is as comfortable with their original pieces as they are doing cover tunes from the 60's through today's chart-toppers.

The power-house lead vocals of Lisa Noe, combined with the intense layered background harmonies, will command the attention of any crowd.  Pam Green and Tami Gordon will rock you with their intricate dueling guitar riffs.

Sandy Grecco and Amy Black comprise the amazing rhythm section that produces the heartbeat of the music. Amy with her infamous symphonic rolls will captivate and leave you wanting more."... - Wolfdog Magazine - Tampa, FL February 2008

..."Don't miss this HOT CHIC BAND performing at the Mandalay Grill in Clearwater Beach, FL!!  Performing your favorite rock, blues & pop covers from the sixties to the present plus outstanding original rock and blues music!  Karmic Tattoo rocks!!"... - Creative Loafing - Tampa, FL April 2007

..."The bottom line is that Providence's music is so filled with fluid notes and sounds that range from calming you with angelic phrasing to riling you with a gritty vocal and drum, that the evening is over before you realize it leaving you with a good feeling. You know they've taken you somewhere for a little while and it's a pleasing experience that makes you smile."... - Accent Tampa Bay October 2006

..."consists of seasoned performers...whose great talents allow them the freedom to play anything from Mary Chapin Carpenter to Alanis Morrisette. The women are not the only performers during the show - they also encourage audience participation by passing out rhythm instruments and getting fans to sing along with the band."... - The Gazette March 2006
