Conner has been a growing
presence in the Kansas City and worldwide independent music scene for
the past two years. Through nothing more than word of mouth, extensive
live shows and a few songs on the Internet, Conner has built a local
fan base and grabbed the attention of rockers from Sweden, Germany and
the U.K. The band daily receives requests from around the world
requesting CDs and live performances. Finally, some of this insatiable
interest can be satisfied upon release
of The White Cube. Ready to expand upon their limited
but
strikingly effective reach, Conner is now able to provide their catchy,
distinct but undeniably rock sound to fans and the press. Conner also broke new ground with
creating their own independent label - Lenore Adora Records, to
distribute their
new release. The first single from the album "Have You Ever Been
Asleep", has received great raves, and downloads on the
Internet. The track became one of the first alternative rock
songs available on DSN Music, and is
getting massive hits. DSN's Guy
W. Giuliano
says "The guys have such a raw underground
sound, that it's hard to believe it's not pre-produced!" Apparently
their
growing fan base thinks so, as Conner made headlines at New York
City's legendary Piano's recently. The buzz continues via radio
stations from the Midwest to the East coast. "The
White Cube is one of the most requested albums in 2003." Bill
Colbourn, PD KJHK-FM/Lawrence, KS.

edginess, new wave dance beats and straight-up rock and roll, Conner

product
of more than two years of playing and song writing and six months of
recording. 10 powerful and diverse tracks, featuring the hit singles

rock fans, looking for a fresh raw sound! Their follow-up 2006 release Hello Graphic Missile, is equally
intelligent, and offers a more mainstream feel.

several popular singles such as: Cold
Feelings, Enough for You and Me,
and Up To You.
The 2006
release of Hello Graphic Missile,
has received a heavy load of positive press-"Hello Graphic Missile" opens with

mid-tempo "Enough for You and Me"

RockKansas.com. "I just feel like dancey rock is
more fun, and we're just trying to have fun so all that comes
out." states leadman James Duft.Conner has finally come in to a
more mainstream sound, with the recent emergence, and success of groups
such as the Stokes, and The Killers. CMJ statedThe rock rejuvenators at work here
are bound to make their mark in the
current garage revival scene " especially as they add an approach to
songwriting that's notably original; if anything, Conner is a
trailblazer in the resurgence." DSN Music is
proud to present several of Conner's
most popular songs for digital download..
