Ladyhawke's New Video for Her Next UK Single, Magic!

Hey, guys! You might've heard me talk about Ladyhawke a while back when she came out with her US Only Deluxe Album. Well, now Pip's coming out with a new single in the UK called Magic, which is also on the album. It's a really great song, and I think it's her most popular. Anyway, today the video was released on NME and I found a link on it for YouTube. It's a strange video but it's pretty cool. Watch it, and if you haven't bought the song already, BUY IT! I'm going to post the video on here for everyone to watch. Have fun!

La Roux's Debut Album Is Out Now/Fran Drescher's Debut Single Eye For an Eye (Late, sorry)

Okay, I'm really mad at myself. Sorry this post is really late! I just wanted to say that exactly a week ago from today La Roux's self-titled debut album came out. I haven't had the time to buy it, but it sounds really awesome. Also, her single "Bulletproof" was up for the free Single of the Week on iTunes. Unfortunately, it's some other song now. Sorry I didn't post it earlier, you probably would've been able to get it. Or maybe you downloaded anyway, that's smart. Anyway, something else was also released just yesterday. Fran Drescher's debut single, Eye For an Eye! Woo! (crickets from audience). Now, I'm a HUGE Fran Drescher fan (she's my hero!), but I wasn't so sure about her recording a song. I sampled it on iTunes and I was surprised. It's actually pretty good! I know her voice is really nasaly, but she somehow made it work. You don't have to buy it (I didn't even buy it, don't have any iTunes money :S), but I think you should at least give it a listen on YouTube or something. You might be surprised! So, two new releases for all you people to listen to! Have fun!

Adidas Originals/Ting Tings Paint Party!

Oh my gosh. Last night was SERIOUSLY the best night of my ENTIRE LIFE! I had sooo much fun at the paint party last night, it was so amazing. Okay, so here's what happened--
My mum and I waited in line for a little while to get in, and then we finally did! We went into a room where they were giving out the black tracksuits that everyone was going to wear, so we got two and waited in line for a dressing room. Once we had the tracksuits on, then we went downstairs and it was really cool down there. There were all these black lights and loud music with photos of the Ting Tings' first paint party in Manchester. I didn't have any of my friends with me there to dance with, so I kind of just leaned against the wall. Then, the curtains opened to the other side of the room, and everybody took all these paint bottles and just started squirting everywhere! I left my mum in the other room 'cause she didn't want to go paint, so I ran in and we all just started painting! It was such a fun experience, I got COVERED in paint. Then, The Ting Tings came on to the stage and started playing. They gave such an amazing performance, everyone was like squirting paint at them, and I was jumping and dancing and screaming my head off. Then at the end of the show they just squirted paint at everyone. It was awesome. Afterwards, my mum and I waited around by the backstage curtain because I had a feeling they would come out of there. Then, I saw them both come out of the curtain with sunglasses on and everything. Of course, my life dream is to meet The Ting Tings, so I quickly ran up to Katie and poked her. She looked back and I said "I'm your biggest fan, I LOVE you guys!" She smiled and held out her hand to shake and I SHOOK KATIE WHITE'S HAND. It was so awesome. After she walked away I started screaming and jumping around in circles. Well, that's pretty much everything that happened. Amazing night, THANK YOU TING TINGS!!!

New Magic Wands Demo, Treasure!

Well, a while back I wrote a post about another one of the Magic Wands' songs, Warrior. Now they have a new demo called Treasure that's out on YouTube. I don't think it's as good as their other songs but it's still really great! Here's the link to the video--

I recommend you watch it, or at least listen to it! And check out the Magic Wands' songs on their new EP, Magic Love and Dreams on iTunes.

We Have Band's US Tour Dates Announced!

Well, I was at first EXTREMELY excited about this, since I've been waiting for We Have Band to come to the states for well, EVER. They're even coming to LA. Imagine me, happy and excited Kira, going to the Cinespace website and calling the number to ask if it's a 21+ venue, when the first words that are uttered from the phone are "Thank you for calling Cinespace. We are a 21+ venue." I was REALLY angry that the concert I've been waiting for was 21+. I mean, doesn't Cinespace even THINK about the poor little thirteen-year-olds out there who want to go to a concert just for fun and to see one of their favorite bands? Well anyway, don't let me spoil your fun. If you're in the US, I would definitely go see We Have Band. You won't be disappointed. Here are the tour dates--

October 24th @ Santos Party House, New York
October 25 @ Great Scott, Boston
October 27 @ Cinespace, Los Angeles (*sob*)

Ladyhawke's US Only Deluxe Album Out Now!

Well, this is a little late since it came out September 1st, but here it is: Ladyhawke (my favorite solo artist) recently re-released her self-titled album in a deluxe version for US only (who would've thought, eh?)! It now has extra songs--Oh My (only released on the UK version of the album, but my friend from England e-mailed the MP3 file to me ;D), Danny & Jenny (from the US only Paris Is Burning EP, which I also already have), and acoustic versions of Paris Is Burning, Dusk Til Dawn, and My Delirium (don't have those!). I'll probably cheap out and just buy the songs I don't have instead of the deluxe version, but if you haven't heard of or heard Ladyhawke, I would definitely buy the whole album. Then you don't have to go and buy her other EP or anything like that. So if you live in the US, there's a new CD for you to buy! Have fun listening to Ladyhawke, she's great!

Yes, I finally have a Twitter. I actually only got it so I could participate in this Fringe (my FAVORITE show) tweet-peat, which I missed. Anyway, I only have three followers at the moment so more would be appreciated! My URL is http://www.twitter.com/kiratotherescue. It's actually a private Twitter so you have to request to see my tweets, but if you want to follow me and I don't know you, just leave a comment on this post with your username and I'll know it's you when I get the request. Well, not that anyone reads my blog anyway. So those of you who do, follow me on Twitter! =]

Hey, everyone! Sorry for the extreme lack of posts these past few days, I've been on a huge end-of-summer vacation. Anyway, I have a lot to blog about so I'm separating it into a few separate posts. Have fun!
