    Cathy Davey: http://www.myspace.com/cathydavey

    "moving" was used in a vodafone ad, some very catchy stuff.

    She's a singer who writes her songs on drums, great rhythm, great soft voice and harmonies on her own stuff. Every single song of hers has multiple vocal layers....and has a quality live band.

    Check out her backing singers in this video, pretty creepy/cool!

    Not necessarilly rock, but Bone Thugs N Harmony do it like no one else.....you don't even have to be a fan of their music to hear the beauty it what they can do.

    Remember songs like this?

    It's unbelievable how easy it is to just get lost in their harmonies.


    Forgot about Bone. They were/are (?) excellent musicians.

    Do they still perform together?
