Last Night’s Open Mic

March 9th, 2010

So we’ve rounded up a couple more mic’s, gathered up a gang of wonderful people, and we have quite the nice little Open Mic Jam Night taking place on Monday’s at Le Garage! It’s great!!
I love that it’s turning into a bit of a country/folk/roots night.
Hey, we need our places too right?!!

Thanks to all the wonderful people that come out… spread the word and let’s get that place even busier!!
Don’t worry, I’ll still be sure we can all get up to play!

Much Love

Wow! We ripped it up last night!
Not so bad considering we only had 1 practice in there.
If you didn’t catch us at Le Garage you’re going to want to keep and eye open and an ear to the ground.

It was high energy, country flavored, bass pumpin’, drum soloing good times!

You want to sweat off some pounds, come on out and see us!

Much Love to Marie-Josee, Johnny Moonbeam, Alan Owen and Best Friend Terri.

We’ll be playing with a striped down version of the band out in Brandon. Catch us at the Lady of the Lake on Friday Night!

This time it’s true!

Yup! We’re in the studio! And what a studio it is!
The producer is friendly, funny, and keeps me pumped full of caffeine the entire time! Yeah, yeah, not great for the voice, but he’s getting me to belt it just fine!
I’m having such a good time I don’t even want to leave.
I just want to keep pumping out song after song… even if they are ones that should never be recorded!

I’ve had a lot of great experiences lately. Some of them include our well received brutal music video, finding out that someone down south has turned “Uh-Huh” into a ring tone, and have been asked to play a brides favorite one of my songs at her wedding in South Carolina next July!

Lots of scary things on the horizon, but a lot of fantastically exciting events as well!

Thanks for checking up on me.

Much Love
Melissa
