Led by firecracker front woman Collette McLafferty, edibleRed is an eclectic New York City-based five-piece collective of atypical musicians. The memorable songs the band creates can be heard on their debut CD, Welcome to My Bad Behavior, slated for release in late May, 2007 on veteran indie label Select Records.

Featured lyricist McLafferty is edibleRed's femme-fatale who describes her sound as one of "a classically trained voice that slowly degenerated into a rock singer's." It is fitting that having once performed for Jeff Buckley "before realizing who he was," she blends songwriting skills like Buckley's with the style and panache of Debbie Harry and a rich voice a la Tracy Bonham. Alongside McLafferty is edibleRed co-founding member, the Grammy nominated drummer Tom Papadatos.

edibleRed is masterfully supported by the so-tasty-they-must-be-bad-for-you licks of cellist Dave Eggar. Known to some for his groundbreaking classical string quartet Flux, Eggar has toured extensively with some of rock's hottest acts. From an acoustic European tour with Evanescence, to performing with the Who at Carnegie Hall, to playing on recordings by artists as diverse as Breaking Benjamin and Nelly Furtado, Eggar is the prima fixe of edibleRed's menu. Lead guitarist Sean McMechen brings edibleRed's hard rock roots to the surface. After years performing in metal bands, McMechen graduated with a degree in Fine Arts and guitar from Jersey City College, and then continued his guitar study at Parsons College in Manhattan.
