The Lady Gaga Forum has a post with links to the AAC and MP3 files of the unreleased Stefani Germanotta Band - Red And Blue EP (2006),or you can watch them on Miqui212’s YouTube channel. I like the songs here better than her pop stuff. Hopefully she formally releases this or gets back to it someday.
