Hello world, Jane here...

Helloooooooooo...

Here we are. We have a blog now! And we are going to do our best to keep up with this thing for the rest of eternity - or until something monumentally more important comes along ;)

So listen,

This is our first post and though we'd love to say something prophetically profound, all I can tell you is that our asses are TOAST right now. We are physically, mentally, emotionally and otherwise exhausted which is utterly terrifying as this is the tip of the iceberg for us. So much to do, not enough hours in the day - that kind of thing. So bear with us.

What exactly are we doing, you ask? Pretty much everything (and for as vague as "everything" is, I feel strongly that it applies), but let me break it down for y'all.

Things that a local, all-female, indie-pop band needs to accomplish in order arrive on the cusp of potential success:

A) Motivation. Which can be a real bitch when everyone is working 40 hours a week in what most   people call "real life". We just needed a little push. Success propels motivation.

B) People like you. You know when you see A-list musicians at the Grammy's thank God and then promptly thank their fans? I always sort of felt like it was a bunch of B.S.  Like, "Oh yeah... I'm reaaaaall sure you're thankful for me, Justin Beiber - now go buy some pants that fit you with your gazillion dollars." But I seriously get it now. You guys are everything. And ultimately, when we finally get a chance to sit back and enjoy this wild ride, it will be you that ends up being the most important part of this well-oiled machine. We aim to inspire you.

C) Dolla dolla bills, y'all. And we don't have that shit. But we're working on it :)

D) A Website, a full-length album, well-groomed media, loads of time to spend exclusively on all 50,000 of your band's social media sites, someone to book shows (us), someone to promote shows (also us), a badass graphic designer, promotional photos (which in-turn requires a photographer) and I'm sure there are at least 20 more elements I'm forgetting but you will forgive me because you can't blame someone whose brain is mush.

E) Hope. We ride a rollercoaster when it comes to this one, but it sure does help through the hard times. .. and we have most definitely had our fair share.


So that's what's happening on a small scale. As my grandma would say, "This music stuff ain't for sissies." Word up, grandma. Word. Up.

We hope you read this thing. It's really important to us that you feel like you know who we really are throughout this whole process. Real is so hard to find in this industry sometimes, I think. So we'll be providing you with random stories, not-so random stories, updates, rants and perhaps the occasional cheesy quote. You're welcome :)

Mad love,
JOA
