West Indian Girl

this show promises to be one of the cooler shows we’ve played in la. its a party put on by the southern california institute of architecture. these sci-art people are nuts in a very very good way. after checking out their space which is rad it made me wish i was going to school there. adding to sci-arc’s mystique is that its not where you would expect it to be…in shitsville downtown la. hey, go figure, we’re neighbors…its just a few blocks east of 4th and wall. pretty cool if you ask me. randy stogsdill approached us about this a while ago and im glad he did. and of course…they’re building a stage for us. 4th and merrick here we come…can we borrow some sugar sci-arc?

thursday is starting to look like a pretty good day in the world of west indian girl. we FINALLY get to play morning becomes eclectic on kcrw. nic harcourt was the first person to ever play our music on the radio (our demos no less) . that’s pretty epic if you ask me. i think it will take the prize as the earliest show we have ever done as well. we’ve done radio shows but most of them have been after noon. load in at 8am…damn…might as well just stay up all night. our second show of the day is the hunnypot party at the highlands. those hunnypot guys are insane so their party should be dope (pun intended there). show starts at 9:30 and its fucking free. tough to beat that price. parking isnt bad in that place either. should be awesome – expect the hits – im trying to get the band to play one of those slap you in face and keep punching you sets…you know, the kind of set that doesnt give the listener time to think about anything except wiping the drool off their face cos they cant believe they’re being rocked that hard. time will tell.

today our song “to die in la” was featured as kcrw’s top tune. kcrw also invited us to be on morning becomes eclectic next thursday, nov 1st. we’re all really pumped for that show. it will be the band’s first time on kcrw. i cant wait to play a few songs on their studio. we have a pretty cool version of to die in la that we just did last week. i hope we decide to include that. it’s true what they….that it feels really nice to be loved. it makes you feel all warm inside. thanx kcrw

I just found a link to an in interview mariqueen did a couple months ago for Vidagirl. As stated on their front page “VidaGIRL is the hip and informative English language online magazine and newsletter that celebrates the life, culture, style and spirit of today’s young Latinas and multi-cultural women. VidaGIRL has created an online community with content that breaks down stereotypes and conveys a positive and inspiring message to its readers.” I guess Q is now our little multicultural girl now. Here is the link to the interview
… Muy bien Q.
