Next week is going to be crazy, lot’s o’ stuff happening. Lot’s o’ chances to come see me perform. We (my band and I) have been hard at work refining the set, adding new songs and making a show that is sure to provoke a strong like/dislike from you, the audience. Please come judge/love me.
On thursday we drive out to play Luminata at the University of Ottawa orientation. Also on the bill is Mother Mother and the “steam-punk” circus collective presentation thing Lucient Dossier. We are going to be clad in costumes provided by the Theatre Department and after the show WATCH OUT young girls, my band mates will be on the loose to seduce you and party down…
The next morning we wake up early to drive back to Toronto, because one University Frosh concert is not enough for us… no sir! We are playing with Zeus and Chromeo for U of T orientation concert. I have to say I am particularly nervous/excited about this show because:
a) CHROMEO! Are you kidding me!? Are you kidding meee?!! Woman friend is one of the best songs. I always play it in the car when I drop Baby Girl off after rehearsals. It’s the shit…
b) I googled my name with Chromeo and Zeus and this is the first thing that came up was a student forum of U of T students with comments such as:
“Who the f*ck are those people?
Its official, UTSU is useless.”
“you’re not serious are you?
TELL ME YOU’RE NOT SERIOUS”
“OMG, is it the Allie Hughes who sang on How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria ?!”
Her music is not even dancable.
and my personal favourite….
“Yea i know i just realized. fu*king uoft pulling this crap. all they had to do was get one decent bad instead of 3 sh!tty ones. IMAGE IF WE GOT SAM ROBERTS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH PAYING A crap LOAD FOR TUITION AND REZ f*ck”
So I guess there might be some haters in the audience.
That day I am also a participant in Henri Faberge’s marching band at U of T orientation. I am playing a none march-able instrument so I think the plan is for me to be in a wheelchair.. ALSO that night is the return of Loving in the Name Of! Very exciting, I’ll be singing some backups there…
On Saturday I am opening for Finnish/French duo THe Do at the Mod Club next. Fate brought us together….sort of. I was struggling to write my bio for my download page so Jo at Musebox sent me an example of a well written bio for another band she was working with… The Do. As soon as I opened the page I was totally taken with the music and the unique voice of the Olivia Merilahti. Soon after I found out we’d been pitched to open for them for their Toronto show…. I guess this story is kind of boring…. NOT FOR ME! I am really thrilled to be playing with them. And there may or may not be a guest star joining our set from Sweet Thing . Oooooh
Hope to see you there
