Girl 13 - not just a band but a state of mind...
Sorry for the late post this time guys. Miss Management has been struck down with the dreaded lurgy *cough*.
Firstly, we've had a lot of enquiries with regards to the origins of the band name, but still only insiders know the true story behind the name Girl 13....
So....busy week as always and Mike has been making those cogs turn.
To begin with the band went busking in town for the badge fund. Despite being a weak money magnet they learnt a lot from the experience. They know what works and what doesn't and next time they hit the street they'll be more prepared. If anything it was a unique bonding session and they have caught the busking bug. Singstar is becoming a weekly group session for practice now and even Manager Mike is joining in! Vinnie made a record breaking score, beating everyone elses attempts. It's clear that he takes the game to bed with him. ;) It was a mutual agreement that everyone has a good voice that can hold pitch well.
There's a live jam tomorrow that should hopefully lead them to a decision about the new singer. Andy and Jack have been put on a two week trial after a quite remarkable score of 128/150 was attained by both. However, a gig has emerged out of the ether for this Friday at Blaengarw Workmens Hall in Bridgend so the trials will have to be cut short for practicality purposes. We also have a gig on Monday at the Buffalo Bar in Cardiff centre. Make sure you come along and bring your friends too. Mention Girl 13 on the door and get a free badge!
So far our other confirmed gig is at the Buffalo Bar on the 1st of November which we are humbly headlining and will most probably be an acoustic night.
Just to keep you up to speed, Parlophone have acknowledged the receipt of Punk Rock Girl.
Girl13.co.uk has been triumphantly revamped by M. There's a new layout, sections, pictures and a different G13 song on every page. Check it out!
A group decision has been made re: the badges. Ideas were tweaked, pictures and lettering were rearranged and should result in a few awesome looking pieces of promotion.
New banners have been designed from the digital shots taken at Street Level studios. Mean and broody seemed to have been telepathically decided but clearly Spencer doesn't have that super power. He does, however, hold the power of super 'fro. During a recent trip to Ikea for Dan to acquire a new mattress, Vin & Spence had to be under it on the back seat due to lack of room. We all know that the reason they had to be so low was not because of the mattress depth - oh no - but because of the depth of Spencers 'fro and the many items of necessity that he stores in it (including emergency supplies of Dr. Pepper).
This week we have decided to hold a competition. If we like your answer you could win a date with the whole band who will treat you to a slap up meal of super noodles and Pepsi Cino.
Here is the question:
If Dan was a flower he would be a Danfodil.
What would Vinnie and Spencers flower names be?
