 New York, NY (October, 2008) – The Raygun Girls announces the addition of Doc MacNab as the first live drummer to play with the band.
The Raygun Girls is a NY Hard Rock band that has been compared to Lacuna Coil, Evanescence, Stabbing Westward, and Killing Joke. Up until now, the band has always programmed the drums and played to a computer on stage.
After signing a label deal with KillZone Records, and releasing the EP, “Fire Inside”, available on Itunes, The Raygun Girls immediately began working on new material for a full length album. The band quickly realized that to make the album as powerful as it truly needed to be, they had to have a live drummer.
For the album, The Raygun Girls were lucky enough to be working with Co-Producer Brian Herman at SMT Studios in NYC. He also added the powerful drumming that the band required for their forthcoming album, “Dirt Collector”.
As mixing on “Dirt Collector” began, The Raygun Girls also began to audition drummers. Doc MacNab caught the band's attention with his ability to improvise over the samples and drum loops without overpowering the sound, as well as with his background.
Doc MacNab is a pop, rock and fusion drummer who has played around the world with artists like the US Department of Defense touring band, Broken Wings, as part of Haak-MacNab (with German-born Megatar virtuoso, Dino Haak), and has also supported noteworthy players in the industry like Artis the Spoonman, singer/songwriter Pat McGee, Chapman Stick and Mobius Megatar virtuoso Dino Haak, and singer Katy Cornell.
Under the moniker Nightwave, Doc spun Goth and Industrial dance hits in clubs from Chapel Hill, NC, to Washington, DC. He was also Program Director and General Manager at WVCW radio in Richmond, VA.
With a tasteful and mature approach to his playing, Doc lends a sonic base to The Raygun Girls that has long been missing.

Ladies and gentlemen - WE HAVE A DRUMMER!
After auditioning drummers a few weeks ago, we have found, who we hope to be, our perfect addition to the band.
We welcome Doc MacNab to The Raygun Girls. Unfortunately, we didn't meet Doc before we recorded our upcoming album, Dirt Collector, but Doc will be adding his stylings to our live shows and future recordings.
We're preparing a Press Release, and will have more info on our newest member soon.
In the meantime, you can check out some of his other projects on his Myspace page - Myspace.com/docmacnab

Well, we've finished the album, are waiting for it to be mastered, and we've even auditioned some drummers!
So, what's left? Making a video.
This past Monday night we filmed a simple video for our new songs "Dirt Collector" and "Paranoia". It's currently being edited, and we hope to have it out all over the internet by the end of October.
In the meantime, we can use your help!
