DOPPLEGANGER
at Martini Lounge

By Ronald Vaughan

No matter what anyone else says, this new band - DOPPLEGANGER - consisting of Joan Celine (ex-Slotrocket) on guitar, Janna James (ex-Slotrocket, ex-Fair Game) on bass, and Sheri Kaplan (ex-Pandoras, ex-Hardly Dangerous, etc.) on drums-merits this reviewer's nod for Best Band of 1997.
With excellent hard rock/heavy metal riffs, the charisma of this band is simply amazing. The all-original set - including the songs "Modern Angel," Throwing Stones," and "Mad Sky" are fresh and pack a lot of punch. Oh, by the way - there's also Roy Felig on guitar as well, to round out the ensemble. Few bands have made an impression like this one. Would you believe that Joan was discovered on a bus some five years ago?
