We're a London-based modern rock band fronted by Ali De Siati. We have been active for the last couple of years, gigging intensely in the UK, Ireland, Italy and the USA. In the year 2002 we were nominated one of the best 5 newcomers of the year by HotPress/Bacardi: we played a showcase at Vicar Street (Dublin), where we were acclaimed by Noel Redding (former bassist in the Jimi Hendrix’ Experience) as one of the “hottest new band on the market”. The track “Borders” was also nominated among the best 8 tracks of the year by Hotpress/Bacardi and received national airplay in Ireland. In the summer of 2002 we recorded a self-produced EP (Volume) for the American Industry (currently for sale on CDBaby.com). We played a showcase tour in New York in July 02 in venues like the CBGBs and Arlene’s Grocery, after which we were taken on board by Nick Caris at The Agency Group NY. In October 2002 we flew back to the United States for a second showcase tour sponsored by The Agency Group. Mother of Pearl’s music has received airplay on many radio stations: SBN radio (England), Music Choice (All of Europe), FM104, 2FM, Today FM, Galway Bay FM (Ireland), KINK FM and VPRO 3 voor 12 (Netherlands), DMX Radio (LA, USA), Novaradio (Florence, Italy).
