CALIFORNIA DREAMIN'...

Maybe you've seen it, maybe ya haven't, but our official video for "California Dreamin" (which was originally shot for The Song That Changed My Life), was premiered yesterday at You, Me and Charlie. Watch if ya'd like, yes there is a strategically placed guitar, being over 8 months pregnant and in front of the camera is not my favorite. Nonetheless, thanks to an amazing crew, their tricky camera skillz and magic editing powers, this vid turned out nicely! 


Speaking of "The Song that Changed My Life", if you missed the Jack and White episode the first time it aired last month, no worries, it will be re-airing next Monday, May 28th on BYUtv. Pretty cool lil' show to be a part of... loved it.  If ya don't get BYUtv on your TV set, we've got ya covered, you can stream it online as well right HERE.  Cool, so maybe watch it!?



The single is also available to download now exclusively on itunes! It is the first track from our Upcoming cover EP, appropriately titled "Undercover" which will be droppin' next Tuesday, May 29th! Pretty stoked about this one, I've always wanted to release a cover record... with literally a gajillion great tunes to choose from, it was challenging to narrow down the selection, so we chose a song from each decade, starting with the 60's until our modern day. Because of it's classic legendary status, you'll noticed we decided to stay true to the original arrangement of California Dreamin' and just give it a modern polish. However, with the rest of the tunes we made liberal use of our artistic license, gave 'em a lil' spin and took them to new places. We'll see how y'all respond, it's a challenging endeavor to take a hit song and honor it's original greatness, while making it fresh... making it your own. However it was a gritty and fun challenge that we really sunk our teeth into. Been working on it  day and night for the last 2-3 months solid, which really helped this last trimester of my pregnancy kinda fly by, thankfully. We sure hope you dig it.

Anywho, there is a lil' something for everyone. Here's whatchya can expect:

60's: California Dreamin' (Mama's and the Papa's)
70's: Telephone Line with guest vox by "Fitz" of my fave, Fitz & the Tantrums (Electric Light Orchestra)
80's: Here Come's the Rain Again (Eurythmics)
90's: How's it Going to Be? (third eye blind)
2000's: Cry Me a River (Justin Timberlake)
2010's: Tighten Up (The Black Keys) 

and speaking of tightening up... here goes another contraction. gotta run...

Yay for music and babies... kinda my favorite :)

ps- one more thing, The Girls with Glasses finally got a new website! Woohoo! gonna go now.
