Album Notes

David Fagin is the founder/gtrst/vocalist for indie icon's, The Rosenbergs. Search the Internet for info on The Rosenbergs and you'll come across hundreds of articles summarizing a history of bold career moves. One of which was teaming up with legendary progressive rock master, Robert Fripp. Through Fripp's UK based label, DGM, The Rosenbergs began paving the way for artists to begin partnering with labels, thus giving them a share in the ownership of their masters and better control of their financial futures. A few months later, while the rest of the music industry was waging war against Napster, The Rosenbergs, ahead of their time, took another controversial step by teaming with the infamous file-sharing service for tour sponsorship and a "buy one, get one free" promotion for their sophomore release Mission: You. David was one of the earliest outspoken supporters of file sharing because it represented the public's attitude toward corporations' monopolizing of the airwaves. Davids music can be heard on numerous television shows airing on FOX, CBS, NBC, WB, BRAVO, MTV, and ESPN. Odds are you've heard his songs while flying American Airlines, shopping at The Gap, or watching one of the many prime-time teenie soaps. He currently has five songs in the popular DVD rental, Mr. Fix It, including an unreleased version of "Birds of a Feather." He has made numerous co-hosting appearances on XM radio with former Smithereens front man, Pat Dinizio, and was asked by Gene Simmons of Kiss to appear on the Howard Stern Show to discuss the future of the music business. After his first appearance on Dennis Miller Live, Dennis personally asked David to co-produce future panels. The Rosenbergs have 3 tracks off their latest release, "Department Store Girl," on Playboy: The Mansion, Playboys first video game for XBOX, Play Station, PC, which has sold over 600,000 copies to date.
