Band Bio: Often compared to early No Doubt and Led Zeppelin, Simone continues to break convention with their own unique style. Influenced by the underground Detroit scene as well as the post-pop alternative sounds of Amsterdam, Simone remains in a class all their own. The touring groups' mission is to recycle two-thousand pounds of unused compact disc materials throughout the remainder of the year. Since their feature in the August 12th Florida Today Life section, the band has received over 450lbs of unused compact discs to be recycled. "We did some research on (compact discs in landfills) and found out that it is estimated to take over one million years for a CD to decompose," said Simone Star (née Taylor), lead singer of the band who recently started the recycling campaign. Since June, 2009, the band has placed a green recycling bin on stage at concerts and asks fans to fill it with old CDs, CD-ROMS,DVDs and video games they do not use anymore. Simone has released four CDs, received numerous awards, charted on popular music ranking websites and has been touring internationally since formation in 2000. Notable recent performances include: Featured Performer for Rolling Stone Magazine's Annie Leibovitz, Opening Artist:, LA Guns, Dishwalla, B-Liminal, Bullet Boys and many more. Simone is best known for her work with Yellow Umbrella and The Haven - organizations dedicated to the prevention of child abuse. 'Simone' is a female-fronted rock band that is often compared to a cross between No Doubt and Led Zeppelin.
