SHADOWSIDE: ROCK FEMININO Festival Performance To Be Webcast

March 18, 2010

SHADOWSIDE's headlining appearance this Saturday (March 20) at the Rock Feminino Festival in Rio Claro, Brazil will be broadcast live via the Cidade Livre TVweb site starting at 9 p.m. local time (GMT -3).

The seventh edition of the Rock Feminino Festival celebrates International Women's Day (March 8). Bands from all over the country will perform at the event, which will also feature expositions, workshops, lectures and a Guitar Hero championship. Promoters are expecting over 3,000 people at the festival, which is being hosted by musician and former MTV VJ Thunderbird.

SHADOWSIDE frontwoman Dani Nolden recently told AOL's Noisecreep about the band's mix of straight-ahead metal with prog and a hint of the '80s, "We didn't want to be a generic act. We didn't want to be a pre-conceived formula of any other style or genre. We love IRON MAIDEN and sometimes we are gonna sound like them a little bit, because heavy metal can't go too far from that. But we didn't want to sound like a copy or another band you can hear anywhere else. We decided it would be better and try to succeed our way."

"Dare to Dream", the latest album from SHADOWSIDE, was released in May 2009 through LCM/Radar Records. The CD's cover was designed by Brazilian artist Jobert Mellow, who previously worked with the band on the American edition of SHADOWSIDE's debut album, "Theatre of Shadows" (2007).

"Dare to Dream" was produced and mixed by Dave Schiffman (SYSTEM OF A DOWN, AUDIOSLAVE, AVENGED SEVENFOLD) at LCM Studio in Sao Paulo, Brazil and was mastered by Howie Weinberg (AEROSMITH, IRON MAIDEN, METALLICA, PANTERA) at Masterdisk in New York.

"People would listen to us and say, 'Where's the other singer, what happened to him?' There was never another singer in SHADOWSIDE but me!" Nolden told Noisecreep. "Even other musicians expect us to sound like NIGHTWISH and EVANESCENCE, and we show up and play heavy metal; in-your-face stuff, and they always go, 'Wow, I didn't know a girl could like you could sound like that!' People are still not used to seeing a female front a metal band."
