<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We're back with a series of quick, informal interviews with each of the band members. As some of you may already know, we have found ourselves a rad bassist and we thought it fitting to have her answer a few questions of her choice. Here's what Monica had to say: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><a name='more'></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>What is your role in the band?</strong></span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My
role in the band is playing bass guitar. Essentially what I do is take what Larissa
is playing, and then what Kelly and Candice are playing, and come up with something rad
that brings it all together.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Name one of your favourite albums from your younger days?</strong></span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Definitely
the 1991 album "Nevermind" by Nirvana. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>What causes are you passionate about at the moment?</strong></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The
development of young musicians is most definitely something I'm passionate
about. I want to play a part in helping them be the best musicians they can be, by creating opportunities
to showcase their talent. I also get to watch them grow, not just musically, but as people too. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Another cause I'm very passionate about is organ donation. By
donating your organs you can save the lives of 7 people and give them the best gift ever. I
think it's a selfless thing to do and I challenge everyone out there to
become an organ donor. It's really easy, free and you can sign up online here: <a href="http://www.odf.org.za/">http://www.odf.org.za/</a></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>What's the most rewarding thing for you as a musician?</strong></span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The
most rewarding thing for me as a musician is being able to perform and watch
people enjoy the music I'm playing. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>If you could put a show together with any 3 bands in the world, who would they be?</strong></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">30 Seconds
to Mars, Flyleaf and Metallica. My life would be made!!!</span></span><br />
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Have anything to ask Monica? Comment on this post and she'll tell you all you want to know! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have no idea how to begin this post. We shot our first music video this weekend. It was, without doubt, the most exhausting but incredible experience of my life as a musician. I can't emphasise the enormity of this event for us as a band, but I can tell you that we can't credit for what went down this weekend. I want to say thank you to our fans, friends, family and everyone for your support and for making this weekend happen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">More specifically, we have a few individuals that we'd like to thank:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Justin, Mark, Michael and Kayleigh</strong> - Thank you for your hard work and contagious passion and energy that we experienced this weekend. Thank you for doing this for us... thank you for believing in us and thank you for giving us this video. No amount of words can express our gratitude and I am absolutely in awe of the generosity and kindness that we've received from all of you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Lindsay </strong>- Thank you for making all of us awkwardly speak into the camera and thank you for being behind the scenes and for capturing all of the awesome little things that would have been missed in all of the chaos. Now when we go "I wish we got that moment on camera", we can say that we did. You are the bomb. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Jess and Kayleigh's awesome mama, Patricia</strong> - Thank you for being a mother to all of us this weekend and thank you for keeping us well nourished and for giving us the tequila we needed so desperately. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Kevin and the crew @ Thinkwild Arts and The Studio</strong> - If it weren't for you guys, we wouldn't have had a second location, let alone a ridiculously rad piece of graffiti on the wall. Thank you for expending your time and energy on this and thank you for an incredible second location. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Karmi and Cait</strong> - Thank you for making us look so beautiful!</span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Anton @ Music Connection -</strong> You're the man! Thank you for letting us take over the parking lot on Saturday, and thank you for letting us use the best gear available. You make us look cool. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong>Kelly Murray</strong> - Thank you for your mad skating skills and for letting us make use of them, you made this video even more badass. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">And then...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><strong>Our incredible friends -</strong> Thank you all so so much for coming through, for waiting patiently, and for partying up a storm in that little room. You guys are all the best, for reals. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Lastly... I'm going to get level-up soppy and say thank you to my 4 best friends. Candance, Nix, Kellykins, Tannie... you are the coolest people I know and I'm so lucky to be able to call you guys my friends. From where I was seated, I looked up a few times and saw all of you headbanging, jumping around, looking like total rock stars, and it made me so proud. Here's to the beginning of something so insanely epic for all of us. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Keep your eyes on our Facebook page, we'll let you guys know when the video is ready for you!</span><br />

<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Individually,
we’re influenced by a number of different genres and bands. How that comes
together when we’re all in the band room is what makes our sound so unique. As
a band, it’s safe to say that we are influenced by bands like Paramore,
Flyleaf, You Me At Six, etc. In terms of genre, we draw inspiration from
anything, including indie, post-hardcore, alternative rock, country and even
classical music. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #1f497d; mso-themecolor: text2;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Laris and
Kelly had been friends for a while before she joined the band as the drummer,
after the previous drummer decided to move on and pursue her drumming career.

it comes to instruments. If I like the sound, I’ll buy it. As a result, I have
cymbals that cost more than a month’s rent, but I also have second hand cymbals
that cost less than R500. In terms of brands, I have a mixed bunch of things – a
custom Pearl Export kit, a Tama double bass pedal, a few Pearl snares
and Sabian, Anatolian and Paiste cymbals. It really is all about what sounds
good and what feels comfortable for me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Ibanez fan!<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b>This is largely due to
the fact that my very first guitar was a bottom of the range Ibanez, and was
the reason for me falling in love with making music.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So in my head, I owe it to Ibanez, ha ha! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since then, I have bought and collected 5
different Ibanez guitars - acoustic, electric and bass guitars. I have always
loved the style (and affordability) of Ibanez, but I have now found love with
the Epiphone Les Paul style and sound. This will be my next guitar… watch this
space! (Since we wrote the response to this interview, I have acquired the beautiful white Epiphone of my dreams!)</span></span></div>

greatest challenge as an all-girl band is to get around the cliché all-girl
image that so often plagues us. It shouldn’t be this way, but the truth is that
the industry doesn’t take female musicians too seriously, let alone all-girl
bands. The only way for us to overcome this continuous battle is to make some
seriously good music and to get on stage and play really great shows. One of
the biggest compliments we received was from a drummer in a band that we play
with regularly. He said, “It’s so nice to see an all-girl band go on stage and
truly play their instruments, and play them well.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Hi y'all!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Firstly, I'd like to wish you all a very happy New Year. I hope 2014 is filled with excitement, adventure and beautiful things.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Some serious news first... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"><a name='more'></a>As most of you may have heard, our fantastic bassist is leaving us. We're very sad about losing Nicole. I'm sure everyone agrees that she's such an asset to this band. She's also such an asset to my life, as a friend. As sad as what we all are, we're excited for her. Nix is moving to the States in a few months time to start a new chapter of her life. One thing I know about Nix is that she was born for this. She was made for adventure and I truly wish her all the best.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">That being said, we're looking for a new bassist! Here's the link to our Gumtree ad: <a href="http://www.gumtree.co.za/a-musicians-artists/rosebank/bassist-wanted-for-all+girl-band/1001086310100910180711809" target="_blank">http://www.gumtree.co.za/a-musicians-artists/rosebank/bassist-wanted-for-all+girl-band/1001086310100910180711809</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">In other news... Gary Cool seems to like us, and we like him back. Check out the little piece he wrote about us on his blog (which won Best Music Blog at the 2013 SA Blog Awards):</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a href="http://garycool.com/archives/16003">http://garycool.com/archives/16003</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Seeing as I'm talking so much, let me give you guys a little update on where we are with our EP and other things...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We've recorded 3/5 tracks so far. We're in the process of finalising another new song which we'll record for the EP. We want to put our new material on our EP rather than record songs we wrote a year ago. We all feel like our newer stuff is closer to the sound we want to be known for. We're going to do our best to have this EP out and available to all of you within the next 2 months. We also plan on sneaking a music video in before we release our EP. Who knows... we might even have some merch for you guys this year! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Lastly, I want to thank you all for your loyalty and support and I want to ask that you continue to support local music and great bands. We're so excited for this year, and we have a very good feeling about 2014. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">All the love in the world</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Me</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />

(the drummer)... to say a huge thank you to our friends, family and fans for an amazing year. We've played some awesome gigs, released our first single and semi-completed our EP this year. Even more exciting than that... we've been play listed on DStv's DMX Campus Rock channel!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For those of you who are going away for the holidays... be safe and have happy travels. For the rest, soak up the precious time with your loved ones and have a well-deserved rest. We'll see you next year for all things awesome.</span><br />

take 2 years to put out an album… what the hell have they been doing the whole time???<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I joined a band. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I’m going to share a little bit of
what bands don’t always tell you. </span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a name='more'></a>You
see, being in a band is great. I get to do what I love. I get to sit in a room
and make music with some of the most incredible people I know. These people
have become my best friends and I spend most of my time with them. It’s what I've always wanted to do.</span></span><br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But the reality is that we have very
little free time, and this is challenging. The rehearsal room we use can only accommodate
us on weekends. So our weekends consist of band practice and/or gigs. We’re in
the process of recording an EP, with our sessions being in the week. All of us
have full-time jobs, partners, hobbies, things we wanna do. We all have people
and family that we don’t get to spend much time with anymore. All of us have
lives that we need to somehow fit into our band schedule. Over and above that,
we love being in this band. We wanna play ALL the gigs and write ALL the songs
and jam ALL the time and it’s really tricky for the 5 of us to manage our time,
collectively. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></o:p></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It’s also emotionally tiring. Five highly opinionated
women in each other’s faces all time will take its toll. We’re under pressure
in our personal spaces and then our free time is a mad scramble to get band
stuff done. We argue, we get upset and we get on each other’s nerves. We invest
time and energy and quite a lot of money into this and we’re all so attached to
our ideas of what being in a band actually means. Throw all this into a pot and
you get a meal that is sometimes a little hard to swallow. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">At the end of the day though, it just works. We
get into the band room and we start jamming and magic just happens. In that
moment, it’s easy to forget about work and life and the people who we don’t get
much time to see anymore. At gigs, we get on stage and see our friends in the front row and we have the best time. We have people
come up to us afterwards going “great gig” and that actually just makes
everything worth it. Not the recognition, but the support. Knowing that we aren’t
the only people who love what we do and being reminded that it isn’t always about us. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I guess the point I’m trying to make
is that it isn’t easy, and we need support. Bands need your support. Emotional, financial and even <span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">physical </span>support (those who help us carry our gear, we love you!!).<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So next time you consider illegally
downloading your favourite band's album or try sneaking into a gig without paying, think about them. Think about how much
of their time they give, how much they sacrifice and how difficult it actually
is to be in a band. Think about the fact that they invest their energy, time and their
money into what they do... because they don’t just do it for themselves, they do
it for you too. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

friends…<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We’ve only
just started to recover from what was an incredible weekend for CMK. For those
of you lovely ladies who partied with us at Pink GirlFest, THANK YOU! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was our favourite gig yet. We love it when
you get involved and rock out with us. Gents, we do believe that the ladies ‘out-rocked’
you this weekend, so you’re going to have to up your game ;).</span></span></div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Next up for CMK<o:p></o:p></span></span></b><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We’ve been
pretty busy over the last few months with some big gigs. In between all of
this, we’ve managed to secure ourselves a pretty rad rehearsal space at Music
Connection’s Performance Academy. What does this mean for you? A whole bunch of
new material coming your way soon!!! On a side note, what is your favourite CMK
song? Let us know in the comment box below.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We’re also
in the early stages of a music video for our single It Only Takes A Second, and
our EP is in progress. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because we have
so much to do, we’re going to be keeping our gigs down to a minimum for the rest of the year. We have a few
gigs planned for the next couple of months though, so keep an eye on our ‘<a href="http://colourmekacey.blogspot.com/p/www.html" target="_blank">Shows</a>’
tab at the top and come jam with us!<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">P.S. –
Check out our new ‘Song of the Week’ on the right and tell us what you think…
homegrown talent for the win! <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<a name='more'></a><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">For those of us who are almost
functioning today, let’s pull ourselves towards ourselves and look back at what
went down this weekend.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We were all privileged enough to witness
a festival like Oppikoppi. Incredible stages, incredible sound and a great
lineup created a recipe for a party of note. Deftones. Yellowcard. Manchester
Orchestra (holy mother of all things sacred). All these bands lived up to their
expectations. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">However, this year I made a point of
watching a whole bunch of local bands and artists that I hadn’t seen before
(and some that I’ve seen over and over). So I’d like to take this opportunity to
mention a few bands and artists that should have your attention!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

when I was 17 and in my first band ever with some of my best friends (we were
called Intermission... so lame!! hahaha!) and one of the first songs we ever
did was a cover of "My Own Summer" by the Deftones. We were young but
we rocked it! It was part of our set for a good few years - being such a crowd
pleaser when we performed.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

photo shoot last weekend. With me being slightly hung-over from the previous
evening, and waking up at 3am for our roadtrip, it was quite inevitable that I
was going to be pretty exhausted close to photo shoot time. Needless to say, it
turned out amazing! With the sun setting perfectly behind us for some awesome
shots, and with the wind in our hair, we got some pretty cool pics. We will be
posting the photos soon, but in the meantime, below is a sneak peak of our Durban
photo shoot! This is a huge thank you to Lisa Stayt for her amazing work. You can find her details under the 'Our Friends' tab.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's the vocalist here, Jessie!!
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today is such an amazing day for the CMK girls. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After an immense amount of hard work, blood and sweat, we are happy to announce that today is the day we release our first single! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a name='more'></a>This is one of our favourite songs to play and definitely one of my favourite songs to sing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's a song about waiting for the one person you love. No matter what they're going through or where they are in their life, you will always be there waiting.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This song took us very quick to write because it was just one of those songs that we felt from the start. And when a song takes that quick to write, it's either absolute rubbish or absolutely awesome! I'll vote for the latter ;)
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Singing this song in studio was hilarious for me! From doing weird stretch exercises between takes and making strange growling noises when I messed up, I'm sure our producer, Clint, must think I'm extremely odd. But it was all worth it in the end. And just having an amazing bunch of ladies behind me made this experience incredible!
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That said I really hope you guys love it as much as we loved making it!! So please have a listen and let us know what you think? - It Only Takes a Second</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With love, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Jess</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Last
night Jess, Kelly, Rissa and I sat on Clint's couch (Candance was busy
writing some epic guitar & was unable to comment but I somehow know
she would feel the same!) and we felt something incredible - Clint (Watts Productions) hit play on the our </span><span style="font-size: small;">first completed recorded song for our EP, "It Only Takes a Second".</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Chills
ran through me!! :D Not just 'cause Clint is a god when it comes to
production, but also because this is just the beginning for us as a
band, the beginning of so many more incredible moments just like this
one!!!</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I'm sure you're all as stoked as what I am about the fact that this long week has drawn to a close. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><a name='more'></a>To celebrate the end of this week, we've added a new 'song of the week' to our list on the right. In case you haven't heard, Oppikoppi has announced that indie rock band Manchester Orchestra will be headed to our beloved festival this year. If you love this band as much as I do, say "I"!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've chosen my favourite of all their songs for this week's 'song of the week'.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On the topic of Oppikoppi, comment below and let us know who you're most excited about seeing at the festival!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Until next time, keep it real y'all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Laris</span> <br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">P.S. What is the difference between a drummer and a savings bond?<br />One will mature and make money.</span><br />
