Fun Night with the Ladies of GRGR

You know what's one great way to spend a hot, summer Thursday night? Rocking out with the ladies of GRGR. Marisa & Michele hosted the Girls Rock Girls Rule Rockin Summer BBQ/Showcase yesterday and I must say it was quite the show. There was a lot of wicked talent last night. I personally fell in love with the soulful voice of Alycea Ench. Her voice took me to another world. Then the ladies of Royal Pink excited me with their realness in what women want. The sounds of G-Spot was muy excelante as their energizing tunes had me speaking in another language. Then The Dirty Mothers showcased their talent proving that these hot mamas know how to rock. And then the last band for the night was Stark. They had the place exploding with such intense sound that it had my ear buds jumping around in a musical frenzy. Girl, what a night that was. We had an awesome crowd that kept the good vibes going and it was an overall great night. If you missed out this show, you missed a lot. But be sure to check us out next time.

Summer Love with The Plastiscines

The NYLON Summer Music Tour 2009 kicked off on June 4 and expanded throughout select cities in the United States and some in Canada. Artists like Patrick Wolf, Living Things, Jaguar Love, and The Plastiscines rocked the tour with their awesome sounds. Yet The Plastiscines definitely made their way onto the music scene with their revolutionary pop-punk tunes.

These French girls released their first album in 2007 called “LP1” (Virgin France). Now, they're ready for their follow-up album called “About Love” (Nylon Records), which I must say this is quite the record. “Barcelona” is perfect for when you want to catch that breeze as you head across the middle of nowhere on a road trip. Yes! Take me with you Plastiscines. I'm ready for a new journey. Then there's “Bitch,” a fun, poppy rockin tune celebrating these girls pride in being a B-I-T-C-H. What girl can't relate to having these moments once in a while especially during the summer. Then I heard this hot guitar tune in “Camera.” This one had my ears jumping around in a musical frenzy ready to bust out in back flips. I was all too happy already when this Brooklyn-born girl had to check out their track titled “Coney Island.” This was a more mellowed out sound which tuned down my excited buzz and put my heart more to rest. I can see myself listening to this song on a relaxing day on the beach.

If you missed out on any shows from the sizzling summer tour, then you should definitely check out this album. It had me in a wonderful summer daze. It is currently available digitally and is set for release in August 2009.

Shira Girls Rock/Hip Hop Musical Explosion

I've always been a fan of hip-hop music. It's something that's surrounded my world since I was a little kid. It was almost all I knew in music until I got older and discovered the many awesome forms of music like R&B, pop, and of course rock. But all these genres were always so separated. They were like high school cliques that stayed far away from each other as their fans mainly stuck to genres only similar to each other afraid to merge. Yet, groups like Linkin Park, Jay Z, No Doubt, Aerosmith and others decided to break these barriers and create musical harmony for all.

And the musical collaborations didn't stop there. The Shira Girls, a rock and hip hop all girl group, has awesome tunes that has a real edgy vibe that reminded me of groups like Green Day and Good Charolette. But wow, they were rapping on a hot flow in their songs “Roll with the Crew” and “Reckless.” Yo, these head banging tunes were tempting my feet to run to the nearest drum set so I can bang out to their vivacious sound. (BTW, I'm not a drummer. But who wouldn't want to be one?) “Roll with the Crew” was a favorite for me. It pulled out my inner rocker as I threw my hands up in the air and rocked my shoulders back and forth to their hardcore sound.

The unique musical creation of these girls truly made my heart hyper. I almost felt like a kid again as I experienced another musical discovery for the night. I just want to "go, go, go" further into the realms of this punked out and swagger formed entity called Shira Girl and explore the wonders of genres working together one more time.

The Women of Warped

For music junkies like myself, the Vans Warped Tour is one of the most highly anticipated concert tours of the summer. While there are TONS of bands to check out, GRGR has narrowed down some of the female acts to grace the stage on this year's tour.


Meg and Dia: The sister duo made their first appearance on the Warped Tour in 2006. The ladies have also been featured on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles soundtrack with their single "Roses".


Alana Grace: This pop rock artist hails from good old New York City. Best known for her single "Black Roses Red" on The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
Alister M: An indie rock group that features female violinist Janelle Borsberry, beautiful and badass all at the same time!Nylon Pink-The Ting Tings meets Tila Tequila. This edgy pop rock band will definitely make a scene on this year's tour. If their music doesn't, their outrageous, eye catching fashion will.
I'm in love with their catchy single "Lipstick".
Picture Me Broken: Who says girls can't play screamo? Lead singer Layla proves that misconception to be wrong with her powerful voice. I've fallen in love with their song "Dearest(I'm So Sorry)". The song is fearless and fierce.

To check out some other female bands on tour as well as the rest of the line up, go to www.warpedtour.com to see who's coming to a town near you!

Alanis Makes Guest Apperance on Weeds

Canadian rocker Alanis Morissette is hanging up her guitar temporarily and making a guest appearance on the Showtime sitcom Weeds. Morissette will be playing a doctor who cares for Mary-Louise Parker's pregnant character, Nancy Botwin. She is signed to appear on for seven episodes. For those of you unaware of the rocker chick's previous work on television, Morissette has also made appearances on Nip/Tuck, American Dreams, and Sex and the City. I personally have never watched Weeds but from what I've heard around the grapevine, it's a pretty good show. Now that Alanis Morissette will be around for a little while, I'll definitely be sure to check it out. Weeds airs Mondays at 10 pm.
