How innocent it all sounds!!! Nothing like Bliss and all those pre pubescent magazines you get these days with miley cyrus (16 yr old disney star) pushing up her bee sting boobs in a 26AA padded bra!<br />Only thing i found slightly disturbing is that the illustrations are VERY similar to that of Viz (adult comics with characters like the Fat Slags hahaha!); it's quite funny really!<br><br><a href="http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/Murphy6/?action=view¤t=HPIM1340.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/Murphy6/HPIM1340.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br><br><a href="http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/Murphy6/?action=view¤t=viz2008.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/Murphy6/viz2008.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Kids Love Lieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04409615514024324535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153535286706382742.post-3207704195708163242009-08-25T01:45:00.000-07:002009-08-25T01:54:00.027-07:00OUr New music video is finallly up!!!So leigh finally won his battle with youtube and managed to uplaod our new video without it crashing!<br />Friend of the band and director extraordinaire Rob Heard came up with the concept and shot and directed the video all in my living room in new cross! we made all of the outfits ourselves and had a lot of fun making it!!

songs and garlici had one of those weekends where it just seems to go on forever so when it's time to go back to work on monday i've almost forgotten i've got a job and it's a real shock to the system!<br />anyway it's mid morning now so i'm almost used to it again...don't really mind my job actually..i'm just knackered!!<br />went out in oxford on saturday night...actually the first time ive ever been there..very picturesque and lots of boys walking around in blazers and ties bless em!<br />but ayway on sunday i went to leigh's flat in wembley and we cracked out not 1 but 2 brand new acoustic songs! working titles are 'Learning to Smile' and 'Not our night'<br /><br />it'll probably end up with one being the 2nd b side to our upcoming single and <br />then the other being released as a free download over the summer...<br />felt like we had a really productive day though...leigh even taught me how to make indian flat bread...it's just so quick and easy although mine was a bit tasteless so i threw loads of garlic on it and now my hands still stink!<br />ellen xxKids Love

played at Sellindge music festival on Sunday which started off with me picking up raf and his drum kit at 10 in the morning<br />Only finding out when we got to the festival that they had a house kit we could use…dam!<br />Anyway was great fun…the BBC Kent introducing tent had a great atmosphere and actually seemed to be more buzzing than the main stage, particularly<br />later on in the day when a band called Los Salvadores played a blinding, ska/punk/gypsy/folk a la Gogo Bordello type set…the crowd were going mad for them!<br />Also watched Polka party…they were great and had some really catchy songs, particularly one about Surbian tennis!!<br />Saw Royal treatment plant play the main stage…we got them to play at our single launch earlier this year and they are lovely and very good!<br />Also bumped into Megan from the brilliant Thomas Tantrum as they played on the main stage on the Saturday…theyre a great band to see live<br />so try and catch them if you can!<br />So all in all it was a lovely little weekend, although I must say I’m never gonna do a heavy night of drinking before a festival<br />ever again…my voice is so broken and husky today…I sound like Frank Butcher <br /><br />I was drawn back to the cheap allure of the Afterskool club in London…but it’s in a new venue now and doesn’t really feel the same as the old one…<br />Also seemed to be loads of really young girls there who were just going round snogging loads of guys who were all mates…they were literally playing pass the parcel with these <br />girl’s mouths…so GROSS!<br />Think of the lip herpes haha!<br /><br />Anyway enough about that…will post up photos from the weekend soon<br />xxxKids Love

He actually went to school with Raf but is a totally established producer and has worked with loads of great bands like Bloc Party, The Cribs, Placebo...so we felt great to get into the studio with him and so far we have the drums and bass finished for the A & B side so are very very very excited....i cant wait to release it!!!<br /><br /> here we are with mark<br /><br /><a href="http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/Murphy6/?action=view&current=43-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/Murphy6/43-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/Murphy6/?action=view&current=45.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/Murphy6/45.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/Murphy6/?action=view&current=46-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a282/Murphy6/46-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a><br /><br /> roll on the bloody 21st june which is when we'll be finishing off recording....in the meantime, we'll have some exclusive free acoustic tracks out this summer before the next release so keep your ears peeled and your eyes posted...<br />lots of love<br />ellen xxxxxxxxxxxxKids Love Lieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04409615514024324535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153535286706382742.post-3191170925206888712009-03-14T03:48:00.000-07:002009-03-14T03:53:21.993-07:00woah woah woahi haven't written anything in this foooor aaaaaggggess so thought i just had to give it a little whirl again...<br />got up at like 7.30am today and its a saturday..what the hell is wrong with me!!<br /><br />loads has happened since my last post...we're getting ready to release our debut 7inch Count In My Head on cherryade records and have been getting loads of good shit comin out way....airplay on huw stephens, john kennedy, zane lowe and have few good bits of press coming up including Artrocker, Music Week and something in Disorder magazine about musicians and their musical heros but more willl be revealed when that happens!<br /><br />just wanna say thanks to BBC Kent introducing....they've been such great supporters of us..giving us lots of airplay and it was great to pllaya t their 1st birthday party in folkestone last week.....we drove back to camden afterwards and get wasted....you'll never know how much the 2 words SPRING BREEEAAAAK will mean to me after that journey....MAtt went nuts just shouting it at people our the car window...especially funny in shoreditch!!<br /><br />played at MOnkey Chews last night in camden....bloody great venue..could actually hear everyones instruments for once!!<br /><br />next gig is the big one...single launch at the lexington! sooo excited!<br />lovely kate is making us a wicked poster with unicorns and sea turtles and lovely stuff on it...can't wait to see it!!! oh yeh and MUSIC VIDEO will be ready next weeeekkk!!!!<br /><br />i'l post up all the photos and shit but for now i;m off to lewisham to buy a new needle for my sewing machine hahaha!<br /><br />ellen xxxxxxxxxxxKids Love Lieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04409615514024324535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153535286706382742.post-76427004245367851682008-11-02T05:29:00.000-08:002008-11-02T05:44:48.901-08:00orange act insigned blah blah blahi just felt I had to write a post about that Orange unsigned act thing on T4...<br />as a band we felt it would be pointless to enter a competition like that as it's just like an X factor for guitar music....bands that want a quick route to fame and a record deal!<br />And after the band that won it last year have disappeared into oblivion doesn't this prove that if you want to get anywhere in the music industry it's hard work, gigging your nuts off and gaining a fan base that will get your somewhere.....<br />Also there's so many bands on that programme who are sooooooo conceited...they come on boasting about how they're the best band in the world and it's such an unlikable quality to be so cocky and sure of yourself....yeh have confidence and belief in your band but not to the point where it's just sheer arrogance! Why do people think that just coz theyre in a band and wear sunglasses at 2 in the afternoon that this gives them the ok to be complete w**kers!!<br /><br />Being in a band I meet lots of other bands when we play gigs and stuff and i;ve honestly met some of the nicest people and amazing muscians who are far better than anything you will see on orange act unsigned.... just check out Violet Violet, Fresh Legs, The Kabeedies, Chew Lips for a few examples.<br />I wouldn't be surprised if none of the bands/singers on this show are never heard of again!Kids Love Lieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04409615514024324535noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153535286706382742.post-84410213157585647322008-10-30T14:14:00.000-07:002008-10-30T14:30:52.048-07:00Stenna Stairlift and tingSo i trekked to Wembley today to have a pizza and song writing afternoon with<br />leigh "B&Q nails" Harrison!<br />and we actually managed to produce a nice little tune that I've called <span style="font-size:130%;">Stenna Stairlift</span>....i don't think we can stick with that name tho as we'll probably get sued....i wonder if people still have stenna stairlifts...i remember that thora hird used to endorse them...bless her she must be about 150 by now!<br />anyway the first part of the song is written by leigh and its about a girl and a boy passing each other on an escalator and each one starts imagining a life with the other...it';s kinda like sliding doors but not!....anyway i thought it was a lovely concept so wrote a few more verses and that was that!<br />we recorded it on garage band but i think its a bit too rough to post but hopefully will have a better demo recording of it soon!<br />also working on a few more new ones at the moment...we seem to be having a writing frenzy recently...i tell ya if i could spend all day all long eating pizza and writing songs (then recording them on Garage Band) i would be so friggin happY!!<br />Also there's gonna be an article about us next week in<strong> <span style="font-size:130%;">The Times Online</span></strong> music section so I will post post post it up when it's published!<br />We've also got a real life proper proper manager now...a lovely lady called Julie Bernouis!<br />So we're very excited about working with her and feeling like a real proper band at last!<br />She and her friend Jodie have a monthly residency at The Old Blue Last called My Ex Boyfriend's records, and they always have wicked bands on so go go go! the next one is 20th November with Maths Class: <a href="http://www.myspace.com/myexboyfriend">www.myspace.com/myexboyfriend</a><br /><br />Halloween tomorrow....we're going to Goldsmiths for the No Pain in Pop night...went last year and it was TIGHT so naturally i;m goin again this year!
