Center Stage

PaperDoll

PaperDoll delivers pop at its best blending shrewd instrumentation with solid hooks and refreshingly honest vocals. Formed in 2004 in New York’s Lower East Side, the group recently recorded a three-song EP with producer Nick Hard (The Bravery, Aberdeen City, The Perfects) and executive producer Bryce Wilson. (Brandy, Beyonce, Big Boi, Hillary Duff, Whitney Houston, Groove Theory).

Now back and even better from the Warped Tour, the band has set its sights on being the last band standing at the OS National Band Search. They destroyed the competition in round one and whoever is playing in round two better watch out! If you are in New York City this weekend, please come out and support PaperDoll. They will be playing this Saturday, April 14th, 2007 at Blaggard's Pub, located at 8 W 38th St., New York City. For more information on this competition and the band, please log on to www.paperdollband.com.


Gossip, News & Randoms:
What's going on with Asian and Asian American Artists


Abe Chang - Abe Chang has been around the New York City Asian American music scene for quite sometime now, but is brand new to ImaginAsian Radio. We have seen him live at several showcases around the NYC area and now we will be featuring the man and his material. Be sure to tune in to ImaginAsian Radio to check out some of his stuff.

Abe Chang has recorded one independently released album entitled "Just In Case I Lose You," an EP named "Lucky Insouciance: 7 Live & Acoustic," and has just released his new full length CD, "Lo-Fi is Chic." He is currently working on a new album titled: "Epistles from the Brokenhearted." He has posted new tracks off the new album on his MySpace account at www.myspace.com/abechang and make sure you add him as a friend.

Convertible Jennifers - Convertible Jennifers (a.k.a. conjen) are gently escorting pop music into the new millennium with simple, catchy-as-hell songs. Listen to conjen in your Prius, on your pink iPod mini, while photoblogging, or in the jacuzzi with a hot date you found on e-harmony, but be warned: conjen will charm your pants off.

They have just released a new album entitled “Pointy Little Shoes” and it is now available for purchase, so make sure you go and pick one up. Also congratulations to the band for their profile in City Paper in their "Standout Track" series

"New Year's Eve", a single from conjen's recently released "Pointy Little Shoes" EP, is featured as Washington City Paper's local artist "Standout Track". Read the full story here.For more information on the band and their show dates, please visit www.conjen.com.

Maggie Kim – Here at ImaginAsian Radio, we all know that she was a rocker. But as we were surfing the Internet, we ran across a different side of Maggie Kim, the journalist side. We were perusing MSN’s Dating and Personals section (Don’t even ask why we were there) and ran across an article titled, “I Was the Other Woman”. Hmm… we think it will be best if you log on and read the article for yourself to find out the details. Believe us, the article is worth the read. To check the article, click here.

For more information on Maggie Kim, the rocker, please log on to www.maggiekim.com.
