Press Release Body = Dallas, Texas (June 22, 2006) - Up and coming boy/girl folk,
rock band Smile Smile will perform at LA's On the Rox bar located in the Roxy
Theater on Saturday, July 1st at 9:00 pm. This one night only performance will
serve as the bands wrap party of their first video shoot for their current single
"Sad Song."


Described as "one of the biggest local success stories ever," the Dallas based band
is known for its unique sound of contemporary blended folk, pop and rock with
harmonious melodies and powerful vocals through a mix of piano and guitar. The
band's first single "Sad Song" can be heard on numerous stations throughout the
country.

Smile Smile is composed of singer/song-writers Ryan Hamilton and Jencey Hirunrusme
who sought not only to create music about today's prevalent issues, but to also
create a new form of upbeat folk rock that would stand the test of time and keep the
industry talking and music lovers curious.

"When we formed Smile Smile, we looked at what was missing in the world of folk and
pop and then tried to create a sound that was uniquely ours," said member
Hirunrusme. "We really wanted our music to be catchy and memorable, but also
focusing on the issues that we care about."

Located on the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, the Roxy has long been the venue for
yet-to-be-famous acts such as Tori Amos, the Foo Fighters and David Bowie. On The
Rox alone has hosted a wide variety of events in its history, including serving as a
regular hangout for John Lennon, Harry Nilsson, Alice Cooper and Keith Moon, as well
as the venue of choice for the infamous parties arranged by \"Hollywood Madam\" Heidi
Fleiss in the 1980s.

After the scheduled performance, Smile Smile will host a meet and greet while
handing out autographs and signing CDs of their self titled album released earlier
this year.
