Press Reviews VILLAGE VOICE partner CITY PAGES *RAVES*: "Besides Prince himself, [Aldridge is] the most vocal Twin Cities artist to pick up the gauntlet." Believe the hype: http://www.citypages.com/databank/21/1034/article9010.asp THEGLOBALMUSE.COM *5-STARS* the RADIO-FREE single: "Lyrics are dead on and beautifully written. The vocals are very sexy and appealing." LISTEN.COM SAYS: "Bordering on the Poetry Slam theatrics of Patti Smith, the female vocalist has the ability to lead the listener into either a dark world of brooding, mechanistic Industrial Dance, or rather an equally chilling journey through spoken word poetry: "Michelangelo replied simply / Paint another humanity." KOUROO MAGAZINE DEEMS ALDRIDGE: "Felicitous and Urgent." TO READ THE LATEST BURNING SHAKESPEARE INTERVIEW, VISIT: http://www.corpusnet.com/rikstuff/Interviews/burningshakespeare.htm
