Current Status
In April 2010, Antigone Rising released an EP titled Live From NYC - recorded live at The Bitter End. In November 2010, the band released a Christmas single, titled "This Christmas", which is being serviced to Triple A radio and is gaining airplay. Most recently, in August 2011, Antigone Rising released their latest CD "23 Red," produced by Gary Philips. The CD was recorded through fan donations in which the band raised over $40K. The money allowed the girls to release "23 Red" on their own 'Rising Shine' record label, and have it distributed worldwide via Joan Jett's Blackheart Record Label (MMD).
The band's bass player, Kristen Henderson, has written a memoir for Simon & Schuster (Free Press imprint) titled Times Two. The book chronicles the journey she and her partner, Sarah Ellis, took to start a family - eventually getting pregnant on exactly the same day and giving birth to their son and daughter. The book hit stores on April 5, 2011.
