Cabaret Futurism

What a delightful if not wild whirlwind we have been in this last week.  Our good friend James from the UK has been in town and staying with us.  He was even so kind (and fun) as to write a new song with us yesterday and to record some sitar on it for us :)  We have also added some Paul to the mix.  We now have a Paul on bass, Scobra now hitting his guitar strings, and a Paul on drums.  Our first full band rehearsal is in a few days, and then the unveiling of said new outfit will be at our show on October 1st at the Fun House.  Which-btw- is closing at the end of October.  So for all of you Seattle punk rock fans, come out come out wherever you are, before it is too late!
In other news, we are coming around the corner towards finishing our second album, and starting our plans for an east coast / midwest tour this spring with our sound sister Niki Avataria.  I am getting very excited about that!

And last but not least, here's a little video we shot probably about 2 years ago, but never had the chance to release.  Here she is:

The End

It's over, I think.  Summer that is.  And with it, I am wrapping up the film Ghostlight, my season of canning blueberry jam is done, we are in the midst of another round of new songs for the next album.  And all the while, we continue to play shows.  This thursday we play at The Can Can, October first at the Funhouse, and then Nov. 2nd we are throwing our big annual Dia De Los Muertos extravaganza at the Rendezvous... And since I am still wearing these crazy long fingernails from the movie, typing is not my forte at the moment.  So instead, I'll just post some fun pics from the summer :)

I should probably explain all of this, but instead, I think you should all write a fictional caption in your mind... You'll probably like it better than mine anyhow ;)

VIDEO - RAMA from our show last night

Our show last night at The Mix with Mothrider and Terabyte and the Battery Eaters was AWESOME!  And to top it off, our good friend Kiliii Fish was kind enough to do a beautiful job capturing some of it on  camera.  So I have to share all three videos.

Next up: Our show on wednesday at the Rendezvous Jewelbox Theatre with RavenmusiK.

Rain Beats Down

I just finished recording vocals on a new song called Rain Beats Down, as well as another cool song without a title yet.  Long story short, I am thick in music-making mode.  I even got to record a song for the film that I am working on!  But in other news, we have amazing shows coming up, and recently past.  Below is a video from our first show with Kiliii Fish in his new musical project RavenmusiK.

   

We have also been doing a lot of recording with some cool cats at the Basement Sessions.  The album from last summer is about to have a limited release on vinyl, so stay tuned on that front.

OH! and I almost forgot one of the coolest recent things:  The poster for our show at the MIX this Friday night.  Check it out :)

Sorry I'm Late...

How and where do I even start?  Since realizing that my last post was from Texas... And I am very much back in the NW at the present... And naturally, ever so much has gone on!  So I'll attempt some chronological ditties for you to peruse.
   Recap is that we released our album Alien Music For Humans and it can be downloaded at any price HERE.  We also got some pretty rad reviews from SXSW where I was called a dominatrix a lot (I'm wondering if I blinded them with my catsuit powers...) and one guy said that I should be on the Mighty Boosh, which after looking it up, I find to be a great idea! ;)

     Upon our return to Seattle, we played some delightful shows, and I have honestly had a portion of my head buried in the sands of bills, dishes, writing, and so forth.  I am also now doing a nice little side job at my folks new nightclub, The Royal Room.
   Then there is the fact that I am in full on preproduction for a film I'm in.  So lots of studying, character work, oh, and I have black hair and LONG acrylic RED nails... If only you could hear the clicks as I type this ;)  I am recording a song for it on Saturday, and will have a photo shoot for some of the props needed as well.
   AND last but not least, Scobra and I have been working on a host of new material for our next album.  I   have been in the studio every day.  Writing, charting out melodies, playing instruments, singing.  I am starting to wonder if this music business will be my greatest obstacle.  The difficulty being that I find it increasingly difficult to remove myself from the studio to do anything else....   
   Quality problems  :D
 
xo.
and I promise to write more, especially when the 'CLICK' factor of my nails goes down.  It's actually really hard to type like this.  Props to the gals at my DMV...

Texas - the half-way point

On the road.  All of our computers are dying on us.  But it is a grand adventure to be sure :) And we totally killed in on  the SPIN stage on Friday.  But the power to this laptop is packed way too deep in the car, so I will keep this short for now.  Here's a link to a little blog we did for Popchips, and you'll be seeing some video within a few days as well.

Wrap up

Well, it has been both a glorious and hellish last few weeks.  We have wrapped up the Album (and if you want to know the title, watch the interview below).  And we are now huddled around the kitchen table making our final preparations to leave on tour down to SXSW and up the West Coast.
To be honest, all of the odds and circumstances have stacked against us.  Yet we have persevered with a good heart, and our guardian angels of sorts have been with us as well.  I can't wait to finish tying up the last loose threads of this production, and to hit the road!!! :)  Below is a nice little link to an interview I did earlier this week that should be able to fill you in just a bit more...
