Album Notes

THE BITTER POET & The Sound of Angst www.thebitterpoet.com bitter@thebitterpoet.com THE BITTER POET is NY/LA actor/writer, Kevin Draine, fronting the power rock trio: The Sound of Angst. Think "King Missile meets Cabaret," or "Jack Nicholson meets The Doors." Throw in a guest appearance from your favorite burlesque/sideshow performer, and you get the combination of sexy energy and dark humor that makes this show unforgettable! THE BITTER POET is a regular performer in NYC. "Rocket Red Fingernails" is his debut CD. "Sound entertaining? It is. Especially to those who like a hard-edged, cynical and explicitly adult treatment of sex-and-ego issues, all backed by a tight, fine combo playing rock, blues and jazz at a truly virtuoso level - and a whole lot more!" -The Aquarian, NJ "Draine's persona is high energy, he is undeniably a quirky figure who demands attention. And not just because he is prone to scream at the top of his lungs, rip off his shirt, and dance about like a poster boy for Saint Vitus' dance. It's not every entertainer who can dream up a sordid story about a rapacious woman obsessed with hot pokers and then drop in, midway, 'I suddenly realized we might not be as happy together as I had dreamed in the cab that night.' " -Back Stage West, LA
