HEARTBREAKER REVIEWS:

..."I kept repeating Benatar's killer half-operatic/half-shrieking final refrain on "Heartbreaker" in my head in anticipation; closing my eyes as the faux Pat (real name: Pam Edgar) sang it, I felt chills: she absolutely nailed it. In other words, for Pam and her band, this ain't no hobby -- they might as well start playing remote casinos and charging $60 at the door. They're that good." -- OC Weekly

Saw Heartbreaker last Saturday and they ROCKED the house!! Band was excellent and the singer is a major powerhouse. Had tons of compliments after the show. Sang all the hits and blew everyone out of the water! People mention.."hitting the high notes"...well, this is it...powerhouse singer definitely hits the high notes and then some. Has an awesome stage presence. The guitarist knows how to make the guitar siiinnnngggg!! This is the most ultimate professional Pat Benatar Tribute that you won't want to miss. Check it out. You will be pleasantly surprised and happy you did!! I was ROCKIN' the night away!! It was truely a blast!! :):) -- Carol, Pat Benatar Fan

PRETENTIOUS REVIEWS:

..."I usually don't like most tribute bands but this one is different - you can feel the power and emotion in their wall of sound like a spiritual channeling of the originals. Dina Gathe has taken Pretentious to a new level of quality entertainment for a tribute band so that it's not a caricature but a vision of the past come to life. Each song raised the audience to a new high, covering "Brass in Pocket", "Message of Love", and other great hits this band has the cool presence and the music chops to spark a cult following. If Chrissie Hynde was there she'd be loving this, no doubt! The audience was into this band totally..." -- TK Promotions

"...Dina Gathe on vocals as Chrissie Hynde is summarized by one word, ORGASMIC! Dina delivers Chrissie Hynde as a rockin, female sexually empowering aggressive, yet vulnerable rock n roll woman...SEE PRETENTIOUS NOW!!"
-- Caroline Valdes, Die-hard Pretenders Fan
