'Rock Star: INXS' Finalist Dedicates Performance To Late AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE Guitarist

September 9, 2005

According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Jordis Unga, one of the final five contestants on the CBS-TV show, "Rock Star: INXS", dedicated her TV performance of DAVID BOWIE's "The Man Who Sold the World" to Bryan Ottoson, the AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE guitarist who died in April. It's one of two songs she sang that will be on a CD of the show's best performances, due out Sept. 20.

A St. Paul, MN-reared singer, Unga, 23, is the girlfriend of AMERICAN HEAD CHARGE guitarist Karma Cheema, who complained two weeks ago that he could only speak to Unga by phone in 15-minute spurts due to the show's nonstop taping schedule — "with the producers listening in the whole time," he said.

Said Unga, curtly, "It was pretty extreme."
