Hallo Good People!
I just wanted to make sure you all got to see the Logo TV NewNowNext Pop Lab exclusive that features my performance at the December 2009 Outmusic Awards in NYC. You can watch the exclusive that includes my performance online. And you can watch many other exclusives of the other artists from this page too. Enjoy!
And thanks to everyone who made it to a very special show on Saturday night at Bell Street Chapel's lovely and beautiful-sounding sanctuary. The secret mystery cover song that Kevin and I performed was Def Leppard's "Photograph." Can you believe it? We had so much fun! It all came about because Kevin was playing some DL song during rehearsal, and I told him how the backing vocals on my song, "Sacred Whore" always remind me of DL's backing vocals. We ended up going through all the DL songs we like and picking "Photograph." And to make it all even more synchronistic, DL is talking about wanting to sexually own a woman he has only seen in magazines and tabloids in "Photograph," which is exactly one of the phenomena I address is "Sacred Whore!" Cracked my nerdy feminist self up. Hope you all can hear it next time. :)
Be peace y'all,
Kristi

Hallo Peaceful People!
So, Kim and I went to Stable Sound here in Little Rhody for a couple hours on Thursday afternoon to record demos of my two newest songs, "Seeds" and "Firewater." It was sooooo fun to work with Steve Rizzo in his beautiful space. He is so easy to work with, the studio is near the ocean, and there are horses everywhere! What more could a girl like me ask for? The songs came out great in just 3 takes each. :) I used my Nord for "Seeds," and put two backing vocals on it to represent what will eventually be more like a choir. We all have "Seeds" on constant repeat in our heads now. You can hear them both up on my myspace. Let me know what you think!
We are getting closer to getting into the studio for the whole album. And we've been talking to "the Big 4" record labels to get distribution for my little indie label. They are very interested! We are also meeting with a documentarian who is interested in directing "The Sacred Whore Project." One by one, we are gathering up this big team we need for this big project. It's very exciting!
And, my birthday is on Thursday. I realized about a week ago that this birthday marks the 30 year anniversary of my dad buying me a piano. I came home from school to find it in my living room. So, it's been 30 years of me practicing piano and hearing music in my head and knowing that I was meant to be doing what I am still doing today: writing and performing music for you all. It's going to be a special year. Hope you are feeling hope and joy already!
Be peace y'all,
Kristi
