Pardon the parental interruption:
Moskva!
L-R: Miss J, Miss E
I've mention my two spawn and their musical adventures before, and have some exciting updates. Exciting for me, anyway. My eldest, 16-year old bassist/vocalist Miss E, recently formed a new combo with her pal Miss J named Moskva, the aperçu of which is Dr. Zhivago meets melodromatic 80's synthpop. Complete with vintage commie-style graphics! The girls just got back from a local studio where they recorded a 4-song demo, the result of which is posted at their MySpace page. They kindly invite you to drop by for a listen.
If you like what you hear, you can catch them perform live this summer in and around Chicago with a couple of possible dates in Wisconsin. Check their website for dates & locations.
Kid #2, the celebrated 12-year old Hawkspawn, has been working on his own guitar-rock thang. He recently took to the stage with his friends in Category 4 at Gand Music's Camp MusicTech, performing their original hit "Dracula's Kitchen." Hawkspawn plays lead git on the left (wearing his official COOP t-shirt). Like a moron I forgot to pack an SD memory card; as a result I filled up my camera's internal memory after 1:50, and completely missed the moshpit riot and the bloody Hell's Angels security incident that followed. I'll post the entire performance when it's available. Rawk On!
Moskva sounds very good...congrats!

My goodness, those girls sound good! They also look good! Sixteen years old, you say?
Hmm... Get them to a convent...or selling Girl Scout cookies!
Take it from me Burge, there are some very unsavory characters out there....
Very disturbing. Lucky I'm in Paris - wouldn't want to end up like in that Van Morrison song...

Moskva "Borken Engagement" reminds me of Bittersweet combined with The Cardigans. Nice job ladies!

The ladies need to be sure to publish any performance dates (I couldn't find any on the myspace page). I'd go to a Chicago area show (my travel schedule permitting)
