BIO: EGO
Ego is a solo project by Ernest Grice.  Ernie is a life-long songwriter/music veteran who has found a love in recording and producing music.  His love for music started at the ripe young age of 4 when he first heard The Beatles. He taught himself to play guitar at the age of 12 and can play many instruments; although he considers himself to be a master of NONE!  Fast forward and his musical tastes, influences and abilities are vast and diverse!  Over the years, Ernie has played in regionally successful bands in the Midwest (Sahara Jack, Haphazzard, 89 Mojo) to name a few. He has played in front of thousands of people and opened for critically acclaimed acts.  That was then… Now, his passion is writing and recording.   For his sophomore album, EGO: ERNEST ARIAN, Ernie wanted to record an album that had a classic rock/alt-rock/indie rock/power pop rock flare and pay tribute to his influences.  The GOAL of this album was to strive to search for the perfect hook and write and record a rock opera.   He partnered with his long time songwriting buddy Grant June (89 mojo) and Nick “Rad” Radovanovic (Skies fall Studios) for this monumental task.  For his “Rock Opera”, the goal was to write a 10 minute + song, with different keys/different tempos/different time signatures, blend several songs within the song seamlessly together and tell an Epic Tale while paying tribute to those who have done this before (Queen, The Who, Meatloaf, Led Zepplin, David Bowie, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Radiohead).  The result is “Feast of all Saints”.  This song tells the tale of the Antichrists journey in Revelations from a first person human perspective.  At this juncture in his musical journey, Ernie is happy to trade the cheers of the crowd for the solitude of his home studio, which consists of a supped up Apple computer and some AMAZING software.

Voodoo Dancer

Voodoo Dancer is a culmination of musicians from different local bands around the Long Island/Queens area.
Friends since the inception of the New Wave and Big Hair Band days, the members of Voodoo Dancer decided to bring each of their individual talents to the table in order to create what they felt would be a ‘local super band’ of sorts.
The years of experience can easily be heard on each track of their debut CD ‘Hello It’s Us’.
In a couple of instances, songs were written in one era, while enhanced, completed, and recorded in another. In today’s expanded and eclectic music venue, Voodoo Dancer holds their own and delivers the goods. Choose to rock out while listening to the war-like drum beat of ‘It Doesn’t Matter’, get lost in the mysticism of ‘Arietta Please’ or Machiavellian Order’, mellow to the acoustic simplicity of ‘Hello It’s Me’, or dance to the Pop rhythm of ‘Forever Girl ’, Love Me Tonight and She Knows with Awesome Melodies.
It’s all there. And gets better with each listen. That’s the earmark of a great recording.
Our Second Cd SPOILS OF THE SOIL is an up beat Alternative Rock with a twist, listen to it you wont be disappointed.

Voodoo Dancer is:
Warren Passaro – Lead Vocals/Acoustic Guitar
Steve Drizis – Lead/Rhythm/Acoustic Guitar
Peter Farrell – Keyboards/Synths/Piano
Duane Lozada – Bass/Backing Vocals
Jose Cooper – Percussion
Anthony Antoldi – Drums
Meghan Cary – Backing Vocals
