BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - July 15, 2008) - Redstar Entertainment, an
independent music label, today announced that The Singhs, formerly known as
Dragonfly, are launching their newest album, titled "Supersaturated." This
release is the band's third album and is the first to debut in the U.S.
market. The album will be available for sale on iTunes, Amazon, and CD
Baby, among other online and retail outlets.
Originally assembled as Dragonfly in 2001 by lead singer Miki Singh and
renowned Boston guitarist Peter Parcek, the group has been together since
2001 and includes veteran keyboardist and DJ Brother Cleve (The Del Fuegos,
Combustible Edison), drummer Steve Scully (James Taylor, Juliana Hatfield,
Letters to Cleo), and bassist Marc Hickox (Peter Parcek, Trio, Lucky
Stereo). Previous releases include the double album "The Edge of the
World" (2001) and "Blind" (2003).
The primarily Boston-based band has arranged, recorded, and performed at
venues all over the world, including Morocco, The Maldives, India, France,
The Netherlands, French West Indies, and the United States.
"Supersaturated" was primarily recorded in the West Indies, with final
mixes and mastering done in Boston and New York City. A three-year long
writing and recording project, the twelve new tracks span pop, rock and
funk in an organic and layered sound produced by platinum-disc winning
producers Ducky Carlisle, as well as guest producer Jeff Taylor, known for
his work with Prince, Janet Jackson, and many other artists.
The Singhs will be performing on July 23rd at 8:30 pm at Sullivan Hall in
New York City, located at 214 Sullivan Street between West 3rd and Bleecker

In June, the band performed along with the Pakistani band, Junoon at a
