sometimes i’ll really miss Orlando.

This show was amazing! We were raising money for this summer’s first annual Rock ‘n Roll Camp for Girls and everyone involved had a blast.

We covered:

Bikini Kill “Suck My Left One”
Tacocat “Baby Tooth”
Joan Jett “Bad Reputation”
Le Tigre “Deceptacon”
The Go-Go’s “We Got The Beat”
The Breeders “Saints”
Splendora “Daria Theme Song”

AND IT WAS GLORIOUS.

Vanessa’s gonna be volunteering at the camp this summer organizing the girls into bands, helping with songwriting, structuring practice and a bunch more. It’s gonna be so fun, so if you know of any little ladies (no experience / instruments necessary!) send ‘em our way.

The Real Answer to Anon's Question

Are any of you lovely ladies lesbians? Dosen't matter, it is refreshing to see a girl band nonetheless

Though I’m Not Dead Yet, You Give Me Heart Attacks In one...

Though I’m Not Dead Yet, You Give Me Heart Attacks

In one week, we’re recording our first LP! Crazy. That picture is from our very first show together at Hoops (RIP) with just a handful of songs, and now we’re finishing up the pre-planning for a full-length record. Any ounce of spare time we may have had this past week has been dedicated to finalizing and perfecting the 11 or 12 tracks that will ultimately end up on your turntable, cassette player and/or MP3 player! Figuring out all the harmonies and melodies and otherwise putting a ton of thought into a cohesive record and what that means to us.

In the past, we always would write new songs and test them out live. We’ve got plenty of scrap songs that have never made it past one or two shows, actually… haha. However this time around we have several that we’ve kept under wraps and not even our local Orlando fans have heard them yet! It’s going to be so fun to share them with everyone. The songs are stuck in our heads to the point where we just want to get them out out out and into your ears as soon as possible!

We’re also super excited about the title of the record and the art, and as soon as the concept becomes reality we’ll be sharing all the information we have in conjunction with our awesome labels, Astro Girl Records from Italy and Protagonist Music out of Arizona. There are even talks of exclusive bonus tracks and packaging, oh my… ;) Hannah Bozenhardt pretty much designs and photographs everything for us (she did our EP layout!) and she’s going to make this thing look gooooooood, we promise.

We’ve really put a lot of ourselves into this process and it’s been a super rewarding experience for us, both as musicians and friends. Our “business lunches” at Hideaway discussing song structure over alfredo fries. (Professional!) Ridiculous memes like these resulting in laugh breaks and practice interruptions. Those Darlins fangirl moments. Listening to records too loud, too slow, too much. Late night drinks with friends at Wally’s. Homeless guys harrassing us at Uncle Lou’s and long drives through empty Florida spaces. Loving our friends’ bands and going to shows. “Self-Destruct” being an option for the album title when three ladies with strong personalities make for sassy moments…

I could go on and on, but you get the picture. We’re three kids that like to play fast, poppy songs and we’re stoked that you like to listen to them. We’re equally as stoked that we get to provide them to you in cool packaging on mediums that we love and feel strongly about. We also just got a cool new gadget to use on long drives and beyond so we’ll be able to keep you updated more and more on our inner workings as we gear up to release this record!

That’s all I’ve got for now.
Stay tuned!

NobFest Sunday Program Guide Writeup!

Sun, 25 Mar 2012 15:45:22 -0400

“Three bad-ass girls from Orlando start a punk band that routinely rocks faces — Vanessa Brewster killing it on the drums, while sisters Nina and Susana Chaplin play guitar and bass, respectively, while trading off vocals. Think The Coathangers via Dum Dum Girls, turned up eternally to 11 while embracing the sloppiness inherent to lo-fi garage pop and rock. Wet Nurse’s slightly dirty yet angelic melodies and jagged instrumental parts will have you alternately singing along and moshing for your life.”

OYG Fest Schedule Announced! We’re on @ 7PM SATURDAY so mark us down! Paradise Orlando on Mills Ave, dudes, ticket info on our Shows page. Can’t wait to hang with y’all! suburbanapologist:

Holy hell, the first weekend of March is going to be a doozy. This afternoon saw the schedule announcement for the Innagural voyage of The Gasparilla Music Festival, and now Orlando’s Orange You Glad Festival has thrown their massive schedule out there for your discerning minds as well.

As previously mentioned, OYG is set to take over O-town for four days (five if you count Wednesday’s pre-party with Grimes, Born Gold, and SubAp! fav Michael Parallax), and it’s going to be near impossible to see everything you want to. Thursday and Friday look way doable, but with 34 bands spread across five venues (plus Consequence of Sound’s afterparty at Lil Indie’s) on Saturday, it’s a matter of picking and choosing who you can see.

You’re My Favorite Waste Of Time

So many hours on tour were spent harmonizing to this album! I (Vanessa) had never heard of Marshall Crenshaw before and was instantly hooked. We got to know when and where all the skips in the CD were coming up, and this song even has that weird imperfection at the end where it gets warped and then sounds like it starts up into another song… Best ever.

Such good tour memories. Can’t wait to make new ones this year!

OH, TAMPA. I guess I forgot to post these up after our session...

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 20:07:03 -0500

OH, TAMPA.

I guess I forgot to post these up after our session last month! Wewps. We recorded our live session (download here!) with sir Alastair at the WMNF studios, and the room (and gentleman!) were phenomenal. So phenomenal, in fact, that we are returning within the next month to record our full-length! We couldn’t be more stoked.

We’ve been writing like mad and trying to stuff new songs into our brains. Seven are currently in the works for the LP with five or six more to go! We’ve got songs about heart attacks, sailors and lots more, and we’re still figuring out if we want all new tracks or if we want one or two that you guys already know. We wish we could share the tunes with you now but you’re just gonna have to wait until closer to the record release. ;)

We’re even meeting with a nice writer from a nice paper tomorrow to talk about our boring selves and all these future plans, so we’ll keep you posted on where to look out for that. There’s also lots more news about getting the record pressed and touring and all that fun stuff…

But we won’t bombard you with too much NEW right now. Just keep in touch!

ON THE ROCKS! UNCLE LOU’S!

Super weekend of fun with The Areolas, Beach Day, Thee Wilt Chamberlain, Mind Powers, The Palm Smoochers and Patty Bleu!

On The Rocks in Melbourne was this amazing venue in an old Taco Bell drive-thru building. (Y’all know how much we love our T-Bell!) The walls were covered in chalkboard paint and we had fun out-tagging the Areolas! Muaha. We also sold out of CD’s, tapes and records! Was not anticipating that. Much love to those of you that picked up shirts as well - can’t wait to see those out and about! Thanks to Bubba and the Melbourne crew for a great turnout and a great night!

The next night was Lou’s craziness with a bunch of great bands. Tantrum Dan debuted a new camera with a sweet wide angle lens, and videos from the night can be found here! Thanks to the crowd-surfers and song-singers and everybody else that made the night awesome! We showed the out-of-towners a great time!

We hit Tampa this weekend @ Bricks of Ybor and it’s going to be amazing as always. We’re also beginning to write for a full-length, as well as finishing the recordings for our Astro Girl 7” and (perhaps) a new cassette EP… :D

STAY TUNED!
