Sounds Like
Girls in Trouble: if the ladies of the bible had an indie rock band.
Alicia Jo Rabins and the Halo Boys/The Hoppin John String Band: a party with plenty of fiddle, banjo, and whiskey.
Golem: a garage rock band with accordion instead of guitar.

Alicia, THIS IS IT, I have ONE LAST favor to ask you about this, could I? Since, as you might’ve heard, my picture won at the monthly level & Round 1, I got nominated for the LongHair Hawtie of the Year Finals (!) that ends today 7pm New York Time (can you just get it done now?) and... - was hoping for those 6 votes from you ;)
Yeah, you do need to get accepted as a friend of www.MySpace.com/OfficialLongHairHawties before you can vote, but they’re nice girls (the hawtie folks), no harm whatsoever :)
PS. since it would be so cool to win ‘by a landslide’ of like 7-800+ votes OVER and ABOVE over #2 guy (who will give us run for the money, he’s done that before!) - so, an 'evil' thought - maybe you can tell your friends to vote too? ;) Could you ask around?
Finally we are ready
to come out of our cocoon and release our first full length recording called
Moonlit Numina. It will be released the 3rd of October 2009. But in the
meantime you can listen to the three songs appearing on The Moonlit Single.
