New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Alex Kelly Official Website) Queens, New York-born singer/songwriter Alex Kelly, the sexy electro-pop rock maven has announced her "Orange Meltdown Tour" in collaboration with the high-powered rock fusion band pILLOW tHEORY, which kicks off in November.

Described as "streetwise pop with instant a-peel" by Gig Junkies, Kelly's Orange Circle CD provides 8 tracks of high-energy, cutting-edge power pop that combines Kelly's acrobatic vocals, driving dance beats and rockin' guitar riffs by Kelsey Warren, the guitarist for pILLOW tHEORY.
