House Party Addiction! Part 1

Hello friends!

Ania  is here, reporting live from fresh beautiful and charming beach of North Wildwood, NJ

Recently we found ourselves having such awesome time while playing at Wild Russian Summer Parties 2012! Yesterday was the second show we played and it was so cool!!! Both parties were Birthday celebrations for two Russian girls both named Zenia! (is there any other Zenia's that are going to have birthdays soon?! i wonder...)

We love the energy, the vibes, the different languages, all this interesting new people we meet! Mostly Russian students that are spending their summer 2012 here in USA, in Wild Wildwood!!!

There were lots of people, everybody having fun, dancing, singing!

WE LOVE YOU, OUR NEW FRIENDS!!!!
(specail thanks to Zenia Soshkina for pictures!)

Meet our new friends! This is Julia, Zenia, another Zenia (it was her birthday party), and Slava!

Slava and Zenia are our neighbors, they are my favorite girls here !

We love to hang out and play at these parties!

We have played 6 songs, including Holiday acoustic, a new version of Criminals, Disco featuring me on guitar and singing (oh yeah these disco days are HOT), and of course BubbleGum.

The show was very intimate and just enough loud to hear everything clear.

And of course our favorite part was all our new friends dancing (like the speakers were about to fall down from the SHAKE of the room!!!!!) and a lovely light machine that was setting up the mood of a Russian- American spaceship racing to the stars!!

A special and pleasant surprise was to have legendary Chuck Treece at the party too! he is freshly back from his European tour with a band Lemonheads! Lots of cool stories from him!

 YEAH, and baby seals were there too!!

GEAR! Orange and Space Echo are hanging out!

Stay tuned for the second part of the story - an inside view of an American of a Russian party!

Dan will explain how he feels about it and I am sure it will very interesting!

All the best, Ania

Summer Pick Of The Week - BOOK

Hello !

We hope that your summer days are going well so far! And today we are going to tell you what book is our Summer Pick Of The Week.

“Perhaps I should not have been a fisherman, he thought. But that was the thing that I was born for.” 
― Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea

Yes, yes, it is The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway! He is my favorite American writer and this book was his first one i read and is sort of "classic" for me.

A perfect book for your summer days on the beach (i hope) or just those relaxing moments. For everyone who loves and lives the sea.

“Then he began to pity the great fish that he had hooked. He is wonderful and strange and who knows how old he is, he thought. Never have I had such a strong fish nor one who acted so strangely. Perhaps he is too wise to jump. He could ruin me by jumping or by a wild rush. But perhaps he has been hooked many times before and he knows that this is how he should make his fight. He cannot know it is only one man against him, nor that it is an old man. But what a great fish he is! He took the bait like a male and he pulls like a male and his fight has no panic in it. I wonder if he has plans or if he is just as desperate as I am?” 
― Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea

(is it time to go to the beach yet?) While i am writing this, i am looking at the ocean. It is one of it's best blue days. There is no boundaries between the ocean and the sky. Only shades of blue and white caps.

In the meanwhile we are presenting you our new "Friend" - a new piece of equipment. It is called Reverb Tank by Fender. We'll see what kinda jokes it got for us. It is specifically made for "surf" guitar sound and this is sound we are going for. Super excited to experiment with it.

We have been writing new songs! And in the latest one that 'came" to us the chorus is "mermaid is my girlfriend" :0 ! ha! i like it very much, it is cool and melodic and very catchy! (i've been singing it all morning today)

All the best, and
till the next post!!!
