Finally, here's some of the Halloween pics.
Better late than never you say? Well, I'm only just
getting over my hangover from that night.
Me and my freind Tara. I'm a Ninja Anime Chick, as if you couldn't tell that!
Yes, Karling Abbeygate & The Monks of Love did play at the party.
If any of you took pics, email me. I'd like some.
Here's me in bed on Christmas morning at my Mum's house in England. I'm dreaming of all the lovely toys and sugar mouses that have miraculously appeared in my stocking. Instead I got underwear and a bottle of Bailys....not bad, not bad!
Ahh, soaking up the LA sun and smog.
Check out a couple of our music videos.

Here's a picture of my Hero, David Bowie. I loved this movie, and I'm not embarrassed to say so! Although, he does look sneakingly like Gary Glitter. I think it's the eyebrows. Or maybe the kid?

Luke Lukas is back with an album full of that gleeful gloom that made us love him at first sight. His trustworthy 4-tracks and him go their separate ways so he's now presenting 12 perfectly arranged folk songs to us. Luke reveals himself as a kind soul, but like the western movies taught us, a dreadful killer always hides under every placid looking Texan.
"Leaving his strongly lo-fi sound that impressed us the first time, he treasures the recipe, packing in this new plain, delightful work a caring love for vocals, which are worthy of Neutral Milk hotel, with a touch of Chordettes feel."Daniele Dileo - Lab Magazine

Frogwomen’s last album is just water under the bridge and only the disrespectful de large could encourage him to create a new one… it is a one-song record which symbolically lasts 66. 6 minutes. Satan worshipping and overused topic in pop music is just the straw that allowed the struggle between the two artists to begin: a patchwork of microsongs in which each one of them tries to annihilate the other’s style, a record that ranges between love ditties, doom-noise cants, and irreverent & wild tarantellas (ehm.... maybe i’m overstating now). .
hey karling, I hope all is well.
