Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) July 29, 2006 -- Social Voyeurs, the 80's buzz band from Philadelphia that won StarSearch, was the pride of State College and Chestnut Hill/Mt. Airy in Philadelphia, and opened for the Hooters multiple times (once in front of 20,000 people) has now launched its first website www.socialvoyeurs.com, documenting its history and offering free downloads of its music.

Influenced by such diverse artists as Elvis Costello, Talking Heads, David Bowie, and the Beatles, Social Voyeurs started in State College, Pennsylvania, United States in the early 1980s. Its founding members were Bob Sobol on keyboards and vocals, Bob Nolen on drums, Keith Atkinson on guitar and vocals and Mark Newman on bass and vocals. Initially named Bobby Keys and the Igniters, they played clubs in State College such as the Phyrst, the Brewery, the Scorpion and events such as the Arts Festival, and later, in a triumphant return to the area, in front of 20,000 people at the Regatta, opening up for the Hooters.

Social Voyeurs moved to Philadelphia and played the Cabaret clubs, Grendel's Lair, J.C. Dobbs, the Depot and the Khyber Pass. The band went on to a winning performance on StarSearch and recorded its EP, "The Boy and the Beat," at the Powerhouse Studios in Camden. Social Voyeurs had airplay on such local radio stations as WYSP and WMMR. The band had a loyal fan base centered in the Chestnut Hill / Mount Airy section of Philadelphia, where rehearsals were based at the infamous "Black Rose Manor."

Rob Sobol and Bob Nolen went on to form the Crazed Wilsons with Marty Gallagher, Brian Lawlor, Mike Brown, Tom Bregatta and others. Rob Sobol's latest project is the virtual anime rock band Redlemon, with its brand new CD "Fly [The End of Wars]", a post-apocalyptic rock opera. Its latest remix of the song "Truly" features MC Breadman, who recently finished work with G-Unit, among other illustrious hip-hop artists. The song can be downloaded from the music page at www.redlemonfly.com.
