Teen Rockers Kicking Daisies Added To Bamboozle 2010 Festival At Meadowlands In New Jersey On May 1

New York, NY (TOP40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) -- The line-up for one of this spring's most anticipated music festivals just got hotter, as up-and-coming teen rock band Kicking Daisies has been added as the youngest band booked to play The Bamboozle 2010 festival at Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, NJ. The heavy-shredding quartet --whose members range in age from 13 to 17-- will take the stage on May 1st, giving tens of thousands of music fans the opportunity to check out one of this year's most buzzed-about acts, while warming up the crowds for that day's headliner, Paramore. The annual two-day festival boasts an astonishing line-up of the biggest pop, rock and hip-hop stars including Weezer, MGMT, Drake, Ke$ha, OK Go, Say Anything, Angels & Airwaves and many more, with the complete line-up and ticket sales available at TheBamboozle.com.

Connecticut-based Kicking Daisies are poised for a breakout 2010, as the band of teen virtuosos is quickly gaining a reputation for their energetic live shows featuring guitar pyrotechnics, mind-blowing drum solos and pitch-perfect, three-part harmonies. With songs like the hard-driving "Go," anthemic, "Big Bang Theory," and the reflective ballad "These Days," the band shows songwriting maturity way beyond their years. The band is currently working on their debut full-length album with Grammy Award-winning producer Mike Mangini (Joss Stone, the Jonas Brothers), who has set up writing sessions pairing Kicking Daisies with the likes of Peter Zizzo (Avril Lavigne, Vanessa Carlton) and S*A*M & Sluggo (Katy Perry, Cobra Starship).

Kicking Daisies is fronted by lead singer Duran Visek, whose vocal chops, guitar playing and natural frontman swagger instantly gel with 13-year-old guitar prodigy Ben Spremulli, a throwback to the guitar heroes of rock's golden age -- with the skills to back it up. The explosive combo is completed with the family-bonded rhythm section of bassist Carly Kalafus and her 17-year-old sister Caitlin Kalafus, who has been named at NAMM as America's fastest (and youngest) female drummer, with more than two million YouTube hits and an endorsement with Gretsch Drums. All four have been playing since a (very) young age and have the chops to prove it, as they continue to practice for hours every day before rocking crowds every chance they get.

The Bamboozle is an annual rain-or-shine, two-day music festival held in New Jersey. The Great Bamboozle was first held on May 30, May 31, and June 1, 2003 at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey, and expanded every year to include more bands and bigger venues, until the 2006 edition was held at Meadowlands Sports Complex in the parking lot of Giants Stadium. Headliners have included such top acts as My Chemical Romance, the All-American Rejects, 50 Cent, Fall Out Boy, The Roots, Sonic Youth, My Morning Jacket, Patti Smith, Panic at the Disco, Method Man, Linkin Park and many more. In 2007, the festival brand extended even further with the creation of The Bamboozle Left at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine, CA, as well as The Bamboozle Roadshow tour at venues across America beginning in 2008.
