New Mexico Rocks 2007 Pin-up Calendar Companion CD - Earlier this year friend of Socyermom - Samara Alpern put together a 2007 Pin-up calendar featuring most of the beautiful female rockers in Albuquerque.  The Calendar release was a huge success and all proceeds went to the organization Common Ground Relief to assist victims from Hurricane Katrina.   We at Socyermom got the idea to assist in putting out a companion CD for the Calendar and again all proceeds would go toward the cause.  Putting the CD together was trying but we feel it is a great release and hope you will too.  CD was released early 2007.  The CD is great and all the girls show their love of ROCK on each track they wrote.  If you are interested in purchasing a disc / calendar combo pack, check it out on-line here.  All photos for the calendar and CD were taken by Emily Nash.  This CD will features 2 new tracks from the new Romeo Goes To Hell album as well as 2 new tracks from the new Feels Like Sunday release, previously unavailable.
