Singer
Molly Johnson and guitarist/songwriter Norman Orenstein have maintained a longtime musical freindship dating back
to their high school days. In the 80’s they formed
the art/rock band Alta Moda, eventually releasing an album
on Sony Records and garnering a hit single “Julian”.
After Alta Moda’s demise they continued writing with
thoughts of other artists in mind. Several tunes seemed
appropriate for Ital-Canadian teen sensation Candi so a
demo tape was submitted to the artist's record label IRS.
Paul Orescan at the label was already a fan of Alta Moda
and forwarded the songs to head office president Miles Copeland
who was impressed enough to sign them to an 8 album deal.
Orenstein
produced their self-titled debut ‘The Infidels’,
which was essentially just him, Molly Johnson and a group
of established musical friends that include bassist Etric
Lyons (Alta Moda) and Gordie Johnson (Big Sugar), drummer
Randy Cooke (Lee Aaron), keyboard player Glen Morrow (Chris
DeBurgh, Chester), The Armin Quartet, and vocalists Billy
Newton-Davis, Cindy Matthews, and Taborah Johnson.
Diversity
best describe The Infidels music. The songs run the musical
spectrum incorporating hard rock, funky grooves and lush
ballads. “Because our music is derived from such a
broad base its hard to categorize it. We try to challenge
and break boundries…That’s why we’re called
The Infidels”
