New York's "Sweet Rocking" band Charetta, have been working hard on their next big move during the last year. After months of mysterious silence, yesterday (June 29) the band premiered a brand new video for their song "Lights Out" (which you can view below). Charetta will also be hosting a CD Listening party tomorrow (July 1) at Double Down Saloon in New York City were they will be presenting their brand new album titled "A Nation Distracted" (to be released on July 21). They will also be performing their entire new album for the first time ever at the Gotham Rocks third year anniversary concert at Irving Plaza, also in New York City. The band will be performing along with Killcode, The August Infinity, Sweet Fix, Bound by Substance, Woods of Arden and Crush Of Empires.
Charetta started when musicians guitarist Pablo LaFrossia and drummer Adonis Sanchez, who have been part of the New York rock scene for years, decided to start a band that would be all about the "Sweet Rocking". Don't get confused though, Charetta will keep your head banging throughout their entire set. While many bands perform better on smaller stages, Charetta has proved that they can play on a big stage like they did at the Highline Ballroom for the two year anniversary of Gotham Rocks, and that they can also play at more intimate venues like at the Best Buy store here in New York City.
“A Nation Distracted” was recorded at Vudu Studios with producers Mike Watts (Story of the Year, Theory of a Deadman) and Steven Haigler (Fuel, Brand New). “Great grooves, monster riffs, and killer vocals,” says Watts.
Artist biography:
Charetta (pronounced “sha-RET-uh”) consists of Angelina DelCarmen (vocals), Pablo LaFrossia (guitar), Chris Fullam (guitar), Richard Mollo (bass), and Adonis Sanchez (drums). The band started in 2007 when Pablo and Adonis, who were long-time friends and veterans of the local scene, wanted to start a new project with an amazing vocalist. Through a Myspace posting, they found Angelina. “She sang on our demos and just blew us away. One audition was all we needed to hear,” says Adonis. It was at that time the project was named, but the band prefers to keep the meaning of Charetta a mystery. Only their most dedicated fans know their secret. Several months and many auditions later, the band added Richard as their permanent bassist, and the band’s foundation was born.
In July 2009, the band released their debut album “Defying the Inevitable” which was produced by Brett Hestla (Creed, Dark New Day). Since then, Charetta has made countless appearances in the Northeast region (opening for national acts such as Saliva and Smile Empty Soul), put out a music video for “Runs In The Blood,” and have had their music featured in the independent film release “5th of a Degree,” as well as the television program “The Mun2 Look” on Mun2. In late 2010, before going into the studio to record what would become “A Nation Distracted,” the band added Chris as their second guitarist. “Chris and I have similar styles. We are both heavily influenced by Mark Tremonti (Creed, Alter Bridge), so it was a very natural fit,” shares Pablo. Now a 5-piece, the band is performing regionally to promote their upcoming release.CHARETTA - "Lights Out" | Filmed & Directed by JayR Castillo & Sigh Robes from JayR Castillo on Vimeo.
