Sunday, September 24, 2006Looking Ahead Current mood: energeticThings are looking up for Girl13 and we are making a lot happen. there is generally a happier, bouncier vibe about the band, and, as things go, its literally GO, GO, GO. all the time!! A good live jam was had last week, with the lads literally 'thrashing' out the tunes and getting rid of some tension, Rock n Roll style!Songs are currently being re-worked to make the sound even tighter, and, a Gig at Cardiffs 'Buffalo Bar', has just been confirmed for Wednesday 1st November 2006, 9pm. This is sure to give Dan a chance to show off his glowing Amps undercarriage! No, it isnt slang for his 'undercarriage'. His amp preally does glow!This coming Tuesday sees the G13 crew head off to Central Cardiff for some Impromptu Busking. If you are lost, look for a Ginger Afro, and let that, and, our sounds, point you in the right direction!Coffee, and silver coinage much appreciated. Failing that, gregs pasties and bronze coins will do!

Remember...its worth it in the end ;)

RemoveSunday, July 16, 2006Girl13 NOT on HoldThings are`nt on hold for Girl13 - at least for the summer we are taking a break - this is mainly due to house moves, the heat, and general burnout after the recording.;)

RemoveThursday, June 01, 2006Update Current mood: energetic
So, the recording went well!
We had a drum booth and a vocal capsule which both got rather warm! Poor Richie got jammed in his drum booth and nearly suffocated! Was probably in there for 20 minutes. We have it all on camera! He was having a bad week, say no more.
Vocal lessons have been paying off. All those pearls of wisdom and tricks of the trade really helped. You want in on the secrets? ...
...tough, they're mine!

RemoveTuesday, April 11, 2006New pics as promised! Current mood: productiveWe had a photo shoot this evening which went swimmingly! You can now see my new hair and our new guitarist Natalie in our pics, so go have a peek! Part of the reason for the shoot is so that we can get some photos sent to our good friend Silvander to enable her to start work on our anime characters, which will be used in the sleeve of our album cover. Should be interesting. I wonder what we'll look like anime-ed up?!
Recording is coming upon us fast so lots of work is being done in the house of Girl13 on a daily basis. We now have the date set for 17th to start work on our six new tracks in the studio. All systems go!

RemoveFriday, March 17, 2006New fansite - info and more... Current mood: cheerful Category: FriendsBusy Busy BusyG13 have been working on vocals, literally 'ripping' songs apart and putting them back together, and, have also had a live jam with another Drummer (thanks for the Hot-X buns), so its all good.Last night we rehearsed and worked on Rhythmn and vocal harmonies. Nikki, has them all nailed, and sounding more awesome than ever!'How does Girl13 fit all this in', I hear you cry! Well, to be honest, we don`t quite know ourselves! :P The momentum is working for us at the moment, and, we`d be fools not to go with it.Today, a trip to the studio was in order, to iron out the arrangements for this coming weekend. On Sunday, finishing vocal touches will be put to Alex, followed by a final mixdown of that Track later that day.So, another fun-filled weekend is in order. Lets hope when we arrive at the Studio by the mountain, its not as cold outside! :PLastly, we`d like to thank everyone who has visited, and, who continues to visit our humble site :) We had a girl13 fan site set up by a loyal fan. Its nice to know we have people here looking out for us. Here`s the link, for anyone who`d like to have details of future events, further gigs, etc:-http://groups.myspace.com/girl13fanclubKeep rocking guys :)

RemoveTuesday, March 07, 2006If your a drummer looking for a band, don't be shy now, come drop us a line! Current mood: busy Category: MusicYet another busy week in the house of Girl 13! Getting the finishing preparations done for the recording this weekend. Also, the ongoing search for the drummer of our dreams continues! Apply here.Last week was a busy one aswell. Practiced with Natalie (our new guitarist) and recorded it all on her porter studio for future reference. We're now practicing at least 3 times a week. Mondays is voacl night, Wednesdays are general work, and Thursdays are full on jamming sessions drummer auditions!Saturday evening was spent celebrating Mikes birthday. We went into town with a bunch of friends. I think everyone in the bar got sent our Dance ringtone via bluetooth. There was playing with ice and candle wax, talk of glass ceilings and non smoking pubs (go non smoking pubs!) Everyone did tequilas apart from me, as I don't drink. No tequila suicides tho. We save those for when we're with the Defs! It was a good evening.Nikki - Girl 13

One of which - and I quote - says `I can make a cup of tea whilst drumming the tracks on your Demo`...I say `cool` anyone who can do that, immediately has my order, especially if he can rub some funk on it.....or maybe a sugar :PIts quite funny whilst writing this I was speaking to Hywel from the Deafs - who i`m sure has secretly hacked into my pc. He was replying to what I was typing on this Blog!Dude you are scaring me! When you`ve gone abroad i`m gonna run a trace on that modem of yours :pWill keep you all posted on our progress with the new drummer

RemoveFriday, December 09, 2005Away and Back From Home Current mood: creative Category: MusicThe `mini-tour` seemed to go down well in North Wales, plus it was good to get away.
*Most Memorable Moment*
When an arguement broke out - about our music - between some Rockers and a bunch of `chav` girls.......the rockers Won! (thanks guys).
We came back to a great reception at The Malsters, where the Defo`s joined us, and, we had an interesting night! Went for an acoustic feel which really worked.
Our Search for a Drummer continues...
Our current setlist is having a slight re-vamp. We`re adding a more melodies to make our stuff even more exciting. Ironically, there is a better sense of togetherness in the band now. Looking to do some recording in the NewYear, more gig dates to follow :)
