 Co-produced with
Gilli Moon, and
mixed and engineered by Matt Thorne (The Eels, TRAPT,
Plastilina Mosh), "Bother Me" is an assertive debut that
delivers the musical soul of Dina Gathe. Its songs reflect the
complex demands of modern romance, the dreams of the
disenchanted, and the liberating power of self-determination.
"If there's something I want to do I can't see anything else,"
she says. With "Bother Me", Dina lays claim to a self-defined
musical territory. "I wanted to do a record with no regrets
and no
compromises. It's like jumping off a cliff."
Dina Gathe is an
independent artist and we are delighted to feature here on Warrior
Girl Music as part of our produced artists
stable.

Bother Me is a huge album, both in content and ambition. There are 15 tracks, and each song is a work of high quality. While listening to the album, I got the distinct impression that
Chrissie Hynde was there in spirit. Then I read Ms Gathe's bio, and sure enough, Ms Hynde was listed as a major influence. But I also heard echoes of everyone from U2 to Faith Hill. Ms Gathe is a strong enough songwriter that she can ease
into different genres without sounding like she's stretching. I'd also like to point out that the album was produced by Gilli Moon, an Indie Pop artist in her own right (also heard on Estrogenius), as well as
a producer, promoter, and motivator extraordinaire. Ms Moon runs her own label, Warrior Girl Music, and a publishing company, with the mission of providing exposure to deserving female artists. In other words, it's exactly like what I'M
trying to do, but fortunately Ms Moon also has talent.

I’m tired of the fact that there’s still a majority of music
industry folks who think that girls can’t rock out and hold
their own versus the boys. Dina Gathe is yet another
singer/songwriter who proves that stereotypical theory wrong.
She hauls up the guitar distortion and wails against it, but
she also has a tender and wispy sense often leaning back and
pleasantly vocalizing her most inner thoughtful emotions.
“Bother Me” is an impressive debut work of art of which Dina
published herself and she also co-produced the album. Her
voice is strong, vibrant, and daring in a pop-rock realm
that’s too often left to her male counterparts.

 ...makes Alanis Morissette look like an amateur!
Reviewer: Simone
From the first time that I listened to this CD, I knew this is it: Top-notch production, clever lyrics, smashing guitars and extremely catchy melodies. Dina Gathe is the next big thing and definitely makes Alanis Morissette sing like an amateur.
Do yourself a favour and buy this CD if you want to hear something NEW for a change...
I\'m singing it in the shower....
Reviewer: Carol Mulloy
If you are the type that likes to be the first to tell all your friends about the newest sound, then you need this CD. It is so good, so easy to listen to and crosses all genres. I bought a bunch of copies for my friends and I have been
handing them out as gifts. I love, love, love it! Regardless of their music tastes, I knew my friends would love it too. Dina is star material, no doubt, and pretty soon you'll be hearing her on the radio. I have been singing the songs in
the shower the last couple of mornings. Each track is unique and not just the same riff rearranged. From one track to the next, you will hear rock, a little pop, a touch of jazz and even a hint of country. I can hear the Chrissie Hynde
influence in Dinas voice.
I am obsessed with this CD...it's really, really good!
Reviewer: Sahara Damore
Alright, here's the honest to god scoop: i am obsessed with this CD.....and have NOT stopped listening to it since i got it!! Besides the fact that "bother me" is a genius tune, i have some other huge-o favorites that include holiday, one,
some other ordinary (i about died when i heard the rap....love that!!) and las vegas diamonds. sometimes when i buy a cd i like just a few of the songs. but, let me tell you..........i am Dina's newest fan! it totally rocks! the entire cd
rocks! i adore the uniqueness and diversity of every song. the switch up in beat i am hearing in the tunes is brilliant and is really right up my alley. I blare this CD in my ears every morning at 6:30am when i hike up this amazing
mountain and watch the sunrise. it's so very cool. this morning i really, really got into the song "alone". it just hit me. Dina has about the best, sexiest voice i have ever heard...it really vibes with me. So, there you have it. Dina
rocks. She is amazing. I can feel how much of of herself she put into this music.....and i pray it gets the attention and recognition it truly deserves. Sahara Damore San Francisco, CA
Bio
No Doubt meets The Pretenders and Green Day...
Razor-sharp six strings, sexy vocals and sparkling songcraft:
Dina Gathe fuses a wealth of influences into a singular modern
rock sound on her artist debut, "Bother Me".
Growing up in Los Angeles in a cross-cultural clan with a
Latina mother and a Cajun father, Dina's extended family
included guitar-playing cousins who shared their knowledge of
the instrument with her. "The first lessons I had were on
piano, but I always wanted to rock," she recalls. When she
asked for a guitar, instead of the gleaming electric she
envisioned, her father purchased an acoustic - more suitable
for folk than funk. Undeterred, Dina applied her rock zeal to
the wooden instrument. Eventually, she graduated to electric
guitar.
"I seemed to pick up instruments that women didn't ordinarily
play, like trumpet," she explains. As a member of the school
marching band, she was entranced by the cadences of the drums.
"I definitely love groove and rhythm. I think that comes from
marching band - we had a cool rhythm section and that
established my sense of timing early on."
Meanwhile, the music resonated everywhere - Depeche Mode, The
Cars and The Pretenders. "Chrissie Hynde was a
huge influence," she remembers, "someone who wasn't afraid to
say what she wanted, and who could rock, with depth in her
lyrics." As a member of the all female band, "Table Talk",
Dina herself was soon rocking the house at Madame Wong's and
Club Lingerie in Los Angeles.
Although a stint working in corporate America paid lucrative
dividends and offered up lessons in marketing and branding,
Dina knew what was missing. Forsaking the power suit and
expense account, she founded Soundstruck Music in 2001 with
partner Patricia (PK) Koprowski, and began recording and
producing new material. Dina has two songs on Warrior Girl
Music's "Females on Fire" compilation CD (www.femalesonfire.com)
while another tune, "Solid Ground" has recently been tapped as
the opening and closing theme for Charter cable's weekly
series, The Rustam Report, hosted by Denise Ames.
