Antigone Rising
Antigone Rising is an all-female alt-country rock band. In 2005, their first album for a major record label, From the Ground Up, was in the top 20 of the US Billboard Heatseekers chart for most of the year. Best known for relentless touring and masterful musicianship, the band played upwards of 280 shows a year. The musicians and their infamous Vanna White (the band's beloved 15 passenger van) appeared in arenas alongside The Rolling Stones and Aerosmith.
The band's 2013 single, "That Was The Whiskey", was co-written with the Nashville songwriter Lori McKenna and received airplay and rotation at CMT and CMT.com
The band's bass guitar player, Kristen Henderson, has written a memoir for Simon & Schuster titled Times Two, Two Women in Love and the Happy Family They Made. The book chronicles the journey she and her wife, Sarah Ellis-Henderson, took to start a family - eventually getting pregnant on exactly the same day and giving birth to their son and daughter. The book was published on April 5, 2011. Most recently, Ellis-Henderson and her wife were featured on the cover of Time magazine's "Gay Marriage Already Won" cover (April 8, 2013).

Oblivious
by: Antigone RisingI'm through
I'm wrapping it up
I've been beaten by my own game
a shame
I'm over my crush
I used to have a good time
I couldn't be bought
It was easy, was a given
I'm in, whatever the cost
But now the cards are stacking up
against my inner politic
tell me something good
I need it
I've been looking for the real thing
I'm done wasting all my time there
I keep dying for the real thing
It may not kill me but it might
and who, who, who, who, who...
Tell me then
Who will lead me out when
I become Oblivious
Am I fool?
Forever I pined
I thought I was better standing alone
than standing on line
How much more of this heartache
can I stand?
How long can I be visually positive
until I'm making it up?
And I could die a complete unknown
bury me the counterfeit
spin the lie so I can
believe it
Lower than down
Sicker than sick of being tired
And I could die a complete unknown
bury me the counterfeit
could have, would have, should have
