Westindiangirl.com 2.0 blog launches
Finally! the blog is back and better than ever. now the world can fully appreciate the magnitude of our blog. on the right side column there is a cool “tree branch hierarchy” widget type thing where ALL the old posts are listed….ALL OF THEM… since 2004! these posts are archived not only by date but also by category which means that if your looking for a particular show report, just click on that link and all of the show reports will be listed. it’s pretty cool. another new feature is the calendar – just mouse over the dates for quick info on shows. the new official band website is also up and running so make sure you check that out too. thanx a ton to dave cohen out in nyc for all his hard work on the new site. the multimedia and photo pages kick ass.

Hi Francis,
Did you see the JumpCut video of the girl dancing in a flaming hula-hoop set to “What Are You Afraid Of?” I thought it was a great take on your song (but respects to the elephant). The girl’s name was Klara, I have no idea who did the video.
WAYAO is such a totally sweet song.. The call and response refrain was great; Mariqueen’s vocals were cosmic. Sounded like at least two guitar parts were layered; did Robert James perform both/all guitar parts? Or are you guys hiding another guitarist?
I’d like to know more about the musical training of your group; formal or informal? Who leads and follows in composition? And in lyrics? Do you prepare and play from sheet music? Who takes the lead in mixing (from the videos it looked like Mark Lewis)?
Does West Indian Girl use sidemen and/or session musicians? Do any of you side/session with other bands? And has West Indian Girl been approached for ad/commercial music?
Sounds like you guys are on the right track, I hope you make it to Louisville some day! You’d get a great reception…

Wow…. it’s about time the best-blogging band in the biz resumed their blogging ways.
