Description

Arrest My Sister is an original and cover classic rock band. We have played all types of celebrations and if you want to dance to your favorite tunes from the 60's, 70's, and 80's mixed in (or not mixed in) with like sounding originals, we are your choice.

Arrest My Sister takes live music to new frontiers with its bold and eclectic mix of music
styles. Based in Los Angeles, CA, the band revives classic sound and spins it with a modern twist, blending a melting pot of legendary influences from fifty years of rock and roll with today's flavor and the beat of the "kick."

Founded in 2009, each member of AMS brings experience, talent and flavor to make a musical gumbo like none other. Lead singer Scott Siegel has four octave vocal range and
routinely belts out 16-second falsetto notes. This singer/songwriter is fearless as he takes
fans through a twisted time-warp; fusing rock with reggae, pop with folk and psychedelic
with symphony all while weaving classic influences with cutting-edge innovation. Sparks
fly and fans rock as the lightning-fast fingers of lead guitarist Crazy Tomes flash through
scales, licks and riffs that hint of Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix. Bass guitarist Wadada
Khufu keeps Crazy Tomes in hot pursuit as he plays the resonating beats of bass like a
lead. The drums and cymbals of Jon McCracken set the pulse to this eclectic fusion with
superior execution, keeping the band's rhythm tight and crisp.

The band released their debut album—Make Your Move—in late 2010, generating much critical acclaim. The CD, produced by Freddy Curci (Sherriff, Alias) is available digitally through iTunes, Rhapsody and Amazon. Packaged CDs can be purchased through CD Baby.

The members of AMS believe in giving back and are heavily involved in helping people with disabilities. The band is partnered with Diversity Dances , an organization with the mission to spread disability awareness to the typical community by providing inclusion opportunities for people with and without disabilities.

This commitment to the community with disabilities was sparked at show early in the band's career, when Arrest My Sister invited students from Inclusion Films (a workshop that trains people with disabilities for entry-level positions in the movie industry) to attend a show at the Cabana Club in Hollywood in mid-November of 2009. One student, Nicky Klein, was a young man with severe cerebral palsy who leads a life confined to his wheel chair. Scott invited everyone to dance and Nicky put his "chair in gear," navigating himself toward the middle of the dance floor. Everyone gravitated to Nicky dancing with him and touching him in encouragement. Through the music, Nicky was included. That day, Awareness in a Box was born.

Check out for more information on how you can turn your event into a fun and entertaining way to spread awareness to your friends and family. Many people attach themes to their milestone events. Make yours an Autism Awareness theme where people can discover what it is like to walk in the shoes of a person with autism in a friendly competitive atmosphere.

The band is as serious about their music as they are about making a difference. Though lofty, their goal is simple: They would like to be remembered as the greatest band in history to heal the world with music.

To date the group has performed more than 50 shows in front of crowds as large as 10,000, including a special performance at the iconic Carnegie Hall.

Feedback

  • Honestly, these guys rate a 6! Their play-list,(covers as well as original songs)made for an exciting, well paced,"what's next?"show. They covered it all,no one went home disappointed. Their talent, energy & stage presence is "off the charts" I will be passing their info on to other event promoters in my area & am looking forward to working with them in the future. I would recommend "Arrest My Sister" without reservation! -- Kevin D, Lake Elsinore, CA, 9/3/2011
  • Arrest My Sister made My Husbands 40th birthday party a night we will treasure forever. All of My friends and family were asking me how I found such a great band. Thanks to gigmasters I was able to find them. All the request we made were played and the music of their own were really enjoyable as well. One special request we made to the band members was to learn a cover song by Train "hey soul sister" because my husband loves it and they it performed wonderfully:) We are so happy we got so many compliments from our family and friends that we want people to know that they won't be disappointed with Arrest My Sister! Thanks! -- Allison R, Perris, CA, 3/26/2011
  • You must hear this band live to appreciate how incredible they are. They totally blew me away last night along with 70 other guests. Lead singers Crazy Tomes and Scott Siegel suprised the audience with a diverse array of song styles from decades 60's, 70's, and 80's along with Siegels original song compositions. The audience danced the night away and was totally surprised when Crazy Tomes decided to play some Jimi Hendrix..it was surreal. Drummer Jon McCracken was excellent as was bass player Wadada Khufu who sang some Louis Armstrong at the end. In my 35 years at the casino, seeing hundreds of bands, this group definitely stands out :-) Steve Miller, Owner -- Stephen M, Gardena, CA, 8/20/2011
