bio:
Ten Year Vamp... female-fronted, high-energy, modern radio rock... Pink meets the Foo Fighters with pints full of personality, charm, and sex appeal! Described by music media as the next No Doubt, Ten Year Vamp has sold thousands of CD?s, earning them a spot on the Billboard charts and numerous local, regional, and national awards along the way.
They?ve performed two to four shows a week at hundreds of venues including CBGBs, The Knitting Factory and the 20,000+ Saratoga Performing Arts Center. They?ve shared the bill with bands like Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Lifehouse, Good Charlotte, One Republic, Gavin DeGraw, Thriving Ivory, Finger Eleven, Fuel, Spin Doctors, The Gin Blossoms, Natasha Beddingfield, Hoobastank, Simple Plan, David Archuleta, Kevin Rudolf, Sean Kingston and many more.
Ten Year Vamp's first full-length album, Don?t Act Like You Know Me, was featured on CNBC, Forbes.com and many other news/music publications from around the world. The album was named Best Indie Album of 2009 by The Mothpod and several songs from the album were voted among the top 20 songs of 2009. Produced by Mike Watts (Virgin Records, Warner Bros. Records, Victory Records, Roadrunner Records...) the disc was independently released with support from over 60 corporate and individual investors. Songs from the album were used by FOX Sports, TLC, The Speed Channel, The Versus Channel, Dockers Jeans, The Adobe Corporation, and many others. Songs were also featured on ABC FAMILY's, Switched At Birth, and several of MTV's prime time shows including The Real World.
"Don't Act Like You Know Me, shapes up to be one of the most dynamic rock albums of the year... Debbie Gabrione is the sort of front woman they make movies about, and the rest of the band is incredibly tight. With a sound already refined and highly marketable, Ten Year Vamp just needs that one big break to fall in place. It will happen sooner or later; music this good just doesn't stay hidden. Don't Act Like You Know Me is brilliant; a Wildy's World Certified Desert Island Disc. Don't miss it. Rating: 5 Stars (Out of 5)

? I was blown away by this band right away? The first time that I heard the lead singer Debbie Gabrione?s voice, I was hooked. They got great songs, excellent lyrics, great melodies, and like I said, Debbie?s voice just ties it all together. The album Don?t Act Like You Know Me, is solid all the way through? I ended up buying the album and wanted to play almost every song on the show today... On top of it all, Debbie is just f&%$in hot... This is a top of the UC Radio List recommendation.?
