2/9/07 Song clip from the new CD! I spent all last week in the studio with Peter and we worked on a LOT of cool stuff. I can only let you hear a little bit but I think you'll like it.
Einstein In A Skirt Clip. Don't get too attached to it, though. The day after getting this version, we had my friend D.J. Reed come in and lay down some killer harmonica tracks! If I had THAT version, it'd knock your socks off. And it's chilly so I wouldn't want you without your socks. You'll just have to wait.
11/14/06 Ileana's song "Hold Me" is played on
WPMG.org during their up and coming independent artists hour!
9/15/06 Many of you have been following the saga of Patrick and the production of his first sold screenplay. "SlaughterhousePhi: Death Sisters" has now been released on DVD! This means it can be rented on Netflix and at Blockbuster and purchased online at places like Amazon and BestBuy.com! As a warning to all, this movie is not appropriate for children. It IS a horror movie. It's written in the B-horror style which means it contains gushing blood, classic death scenes, women in their underwear, silly jokes and a gruesome living dead monster. I know, very different from an Ileana show. This style of movie may not suit your tastes. If that's the case, tell your horror loving friends to check it out. We'll be sure to update you when his romantic comedy comes out. However, I did want you to know and celebrate with us Patrick's success and official entry as a screenwriter on
IMDB.com! Hooray!

12/01/05 Operation Gratitude is a very amazing group that puts together care packages for those men and women fighting in the armed forces during the holiday season. They send out food, cards, DVDs, CDs, letters and other gifts to soldiers as a thank you for all of the sacrifices they make serving our country. I've donated some of my Counting Stars and Super Ordinary Girl CDs and you can help as well. No, you don't need to run out and record a CD. Just write a letter of gratitude to a soldier and send it to: Operation Gratitude / Carolyn Blashek. 16444 Refugio Road Encino, California 91436 USA If you're interested in making some other donation, check out their wish list on their website.
