Recently and Currently

Well hello everyone! Lena here. If you're reading this, thank you for stumbling upon our blog and taking the time to wander around it.

We too have been wandering around the past week or so; we're taking a break since just a few weeks ago we were intensely rehearsing for our big show at El Corazon.

Let me tell you a bit about the evening:
El Corazon is usually quite the hard rock & metal venue, so when we sound checked our little guitars, our drum set (minus 2 cymbals & a snare + an assortment of glass jars), and our 3 voices, the sound guys were a bit confused. "do you want distortion or delay or anything?" hmmm no thanks guys, not tonight.

We shared a bill with Barry Sebastian Snyder who opened up the night very well with his funky jams and sweet songs. Next up was the duo from Valhalla Hill, Rory & Joey who go under the moniker Valkyries. They sang their big hearts out and wowed the crowd, as they usually do.

Then we took the stage and played about an hour long set. I really don't know how long we played, I kind of had an out of body experience and I don't know what happened while we were on stage, but we got lots of great feedback and got rid of all our demos.

Since that happened, we've also been in and out of the studio at Bart Radio's brand new Nels Nelson recording studio working with Charlie & Bridgid! We're looking forward to recording our new songs and making them sound as fantastic as musically possible! More updates to come I'm sure.

On another note, Caroline is at home in NY and we miss her.

it's Karina's birthday today!!!!

Hello Seattle

Well, two and a half weeks later, we find ourselves
right back where we started! Grey skies and the smell
of fresh ground coffee, oh how we've missed you Seattle!
Just wanted to take a few lines to say thanks to
everyone who kept an eye out on our blog and all of the
beautiful people who hosted us and supported us along
this journey!
Eden, Tracey, Lance and Shalom for giving us delicious
food, a cozy home and reminding us that getting a huge
boquet of flowers delivered to your house from your
husband for NO reason, is possible and something that
we can have one day too!
The Benicia trio: Rachel, Monique and ALYSSA (the coolest)
for cracking us up, and then overly supporting us
(in a very good way) with candles and
comments like "you're magical" Thanks guys!
To Beverly for taking care of us in Santa Barbara. Driving
our butts around everywhere, also cracking us up and
re-introducing us to the sunshine. We love you so much.
And to Blake, a real trooper and supporter.
Thank you for cheering so loudly and .. openly!
For Letting us crash at your house and then
letting us take over the bathroom, the living room,
the kitchen.. We'll miss your grandpa Pad!
To the Simon's, who birthed and raised Lena firstly.
Thanks for that! And who took such good care of us
while we were in L.A. Fed, housed and provided
parental advice, it was wonderful hanging out
with you and we hope to be back soon!
To Sarah, for putting together an awesome
show for us and giving up her bed. Taking
us around her beautiful city and then
feeding us brownies and introducing us to
the best game ever! It was so nice to meet you
and hear your sweet music.
To Alexander, for letting us stay in your house
and maybe not even knowing that we did.
We left some chicken in the fridge. woops!
Your piano is awesome and you might want to
expand on your movie selection, because you
can really only watch Crouching tiger, Hidden
dragon once every few years.
Thank you guys!! And thanks to everyone
who came out to the shows! It was really
awesome to meet and see you all and to
be able to share our music with you!

there are still a few more videos that we
are going to post asap!
And then we are going to be working on
finishing writing and recording our new
EP/ album! So stay tuned for updates!


thank you. loveee,
Annabel Lee

Can't take my eyes off of you

L.A. to Ashland

Ashlandia

So after deliberating with Caroline about how long it's been since our last update, we finally have our bearings straight. Karina had her protein, the rest of us had our breakfast and we were on our way to Ashland, Oregon! The drive was beautiful, watching the landscape change from an oasis of wheat fields, rolling green hills, Mount Shasta, to a forest of Evergreens, we finally arrived to the home of the Shakespeare Festival.

Ashland is a very quaint little town in one of the Southern most points of Oregon, very beautiful. We got lucky with our stay. We had an entire house to ourselves for the night thanks to a connection from Bev and then through two people we've never met, a little strange but we're very thankful. After a little detective work we concluded that the owner of the house was a male, Russian, pianist with an interest in China. We fell asleep watching Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and had a good nights rest.

The next morning we got to actually experience Ashland. We went to a little park and ate oatmeal beside the wildflowers and sang a few songs. Then we packed up the car, cleaned up the house and headed out to Lithia Park (which got its name from the Lithium that flows through the creek and is pumped into the water fountains). There we put together our musical set up and started playing for the people in the park, it was probably our biggest crowd yet! We got rid of the last of our CD's and got some more great response. With the car already packed, we started heading to Portland right after our park set and arrived back at Eden's cozy home, pups and all. And now we're watching the Bachlorette... How did that happen?

Seattle, we're almost home.
