Trackstock 2008

Saturday, October 11th, 2008

hello all….

Trackstock in Salinas, Ca is done and over… The girls had a show at Kidfest right before, then we rushed over do a couple of songs with Override, who went on first. They did an amazing job. They are definitely a band to keep an eye on. Mimi sang Barracuda and The Ocean with them and Keiko did two of their originals with them. The girls had a blast performing with Override. Thanks guys for sharing your stage…

Then came our set. All I can say is that we had an off day… We had some issues. The girls were disappointed in how it turned out. But, all in all, they had a good time. We learn something new everytime they perform. So, it was an experience worth having….

Thank you to Trackstock and Wise music in Salinas… And all the bands and people who put the show together…

I’ll leave you with a video of Mimi singing with Override…

Take care all,

The Girls open for Coco Montoya

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

Last night the Sledge Grits band performed at the Oldemeyer Center in Seaside. They had a blast! The band was the opening act for the world reknowned blues artist Coco Montoya. He was amazing! Not only was he an amazing musician he was a great person. He spoke with the girls and took pictures with them and brought them on stage.

This first song is an original song “Why” That was written by Momma Sledge… But, arranged by Keiko.

The Show itself was so fun… There was a great crowd and the support for the girls was wonderful! The sound was amazing… (My camera doesn’t do the sound people justice….) It was a great night.

Thank you to the City of Seaside… The Monterey Bay Blues Festival…. Dennis Murphy…. Magic 63…. Coco Montoya… the sound people…. and everyone who came out to show support…..

THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!

This next song is “invincible” written by Kariel and arranged by Keiko….

Thanks to Jammin 97.9 for Dj’ing the open house in Seaside!

We got to spend time with our Tracy-Bear pictured above with the girls.

Thank you to Tracy-Bear and Fredo of Jammin’ 97.9 (pictured above)…. We all had a great time!

The girls had a chance to play with some of their friends they met during the Seaside talent show.

They had a ball playing in the jump houses and performing on the nice stage. It turned out to be a very hot day

perfect for performing and playing. (below is Millenia, Keiko and Mrs. Lani of the Seaside Youth Center)

Updates…

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Hello all… well the MCOE open house is over. That was a mess for us. The mic sound was giving major feedback…. so the girls had to perform without one. Millenia had to perform without a mic with Kelly jo on the drums… so you could not here her. It was a bit of a disaster. However the girls had a good time. We got to see a lot of people we hadn’t seen in a while. I will try to upload some of those pictures soon. Also, I wanted to let everyone know that Keiko has been asked to officially be in the Blues Festivals Honors Band. She will be singing at the blues Festival in June. It will be a great time so everyone should try to make it. Millenia will also be performing at the Festival. She will be on stage with the amazing Dennis Murphy Band. So come and support the girls!
