All-Female Rock Trio Juicy Newt Reject Industry’s “Image” Norms

Phoenix, AZ – During an era in which Brittany Spears and Hillary Duff outsell actual songwriters and musicians with functioning vocal chords, it seems pop culture has elevated sex symbolism above musical talent. That’s why Juicy Newt, an all-female indie rock trio from Arizona, is putting music back in the industry.

Juicy Newt’s Annamarie Sanchez (guitar/lead vocals), Brenda Perkins (bass/vocals) and Sarah Bingham (drums) don’t have an image to sell. These self-proclaimed “Vagina Rock Warriors” are all about the music.

“The band was born in 2003 in the midst of boredom and aspirations of world domination through rock and roll,” say the Newts. “Not the evil, oppressive, tyrannical type of domination; more the color-coordinated, adored-by-the-masses, cheap-booze-for-all, free-lovin’ kind of domination.”

Juicy Newt’s dynamic indie stylings have been described by Phoenix New Times as a beat-heavy fusion of rock, punk and sugary New Wave.

Their first show at the legendary Mason Jar in Phoenix cemented Juicy Newt in the consciousness of the Valley’s music scene. Since then, the girls have been rocking the stage at venues across the Valley, including Trax, Andersons Fifth Estate, Jugheads, Hollywood Alley, The Stray Cat, Chasers, The Sets, Mardi Gras and The Cypress Lounge.

Juicy Newt is currently recording with musical genius Bob Hoag, producer and recorder for bands such as The Ataris, The Format, Dear and the Healights and Crash Coordinates. Their full-length debut album is scheduled for release in the spring.

Until then, fans can attend performances at AZ Overload’s Anniversary Show at The Last Exit in Tempe on April 19 and The Phix in Phoenix on June 28.
