DOODLE: A doodle is a type of sketch, an unfocused drawing
made while a person's attention is otherwise occupied. Doodles are
simple drawings that can have concrete representational meaning or may
just be abstract shapes. (Thank you Wikipedia:) "Don't
doodle" teachers, parents, partners and friends of all sorts used to
say to me.. "If your doodling you are NOT paying attention"! I totally
disagree. Doodling helps me focus my kinetic energy and mental energy
in several directions as once. Yes, the doodle is that magical! The
important thing to remember here is that we all learn differently and
that creative expression is a big part of being alive. You never know where your doodles may go..In
the past 6 months or so I have gotten really into designing t-shirts on
photoshop and on random pieces of paper. From all that doodling emerged
the first edition Left on Red t-shirts! THE SHIRT: It is
made of all organic cotton from Alternative Apparel; Super soft and
stylish for the most discerning t-shirt lover. I should know because I
love clothes, especially clothes that are good for the planet and for
the people who make it. They are printed with water and soy based inks
by the hands of our friends Tanya and Joe. They use special
silk-screens at their design shop appropriately called Planet Love in Buffalo, NY. The shirts are now available at Left on Red Shows or through www.leftonredmusic.com Peace and Love and lots of doodles:) Liah

What we are up to:
We have been home for almost two weeks now from a fantastic trip in Europe. It was a great experience to see Paris and Spain, to meet new friends and share in their cultures . We played and wrote a lot of music along the way..the most unlikely place being on the airplane while people were boarding.
Now back in NYC, we have hit the ground running. We are getting ready to leave for Nashville soon and then pretty soon we will start The Green Tour across America. But first:
- National Radio Campaign: 3 weeks ago we launched a national college/indy radio campaign with Tinderbox Music. If you have a favorite station please let us know and we will send them our album. We will be posting the radio station adds on our website as the campaign reports come it.
- The Search for Green Wheels: Part of preparing for our upcoming Green Tour is finding the right vehicle. We are looking for a conversion van that can be easily converted to bio-diesel. Left on Red will be touring across the country and living in it for the next year or so it has to be cute.
- New Videos up on YouTube: We just posted a live video of “The Extra Mile” from our last show at Webster Hall Studio. Special thanks to Eric Halloran who did wonders with our dinky-non zoom camera! Also up are some clips from Paris. If you like the videos, please RATE THEM as doing that really helps Left on Red be seen be more people across the world.
- Must see: “Michael Moore’s new film “Capitalism, A love story”. It affirmed more that only we can change the future of this country and this world, together. Power to the people!
THANK YOU for reading and THANK YOU for being our friend Your support encourages us to continue to make music and share it with the world..
Shine on, Liah and Kelly

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
We are in CT with an amazing group of school teachers. They are a non-profit organization called " Communities for Learning" and this week they're involved in an intense conference, learning how to improve their school communities.
We haven't JUST been hanging out, being heady, and playing chess, though... every morning, Liah gives the teachers a 6AM "Boot Camp" work-out and a 7AM Yoga class. We've performed for the teachers and tonight we'll MC a challenging game of "Name that Tune."
*Note: The baby in the foreground was not used as a chess piece*

Yeaaahh we like Cliff bars, Luna bars, "GREENS+" bars etc...BUT our
absolute favorite type of energy bar, winning by a HUGE lead is... CHUNKS OF ENERGY! These
little chunks of heavenly hippy-chicky/chico goodness can be found in
health food stores ALL accross the United States (usually found in the
bulk foods section). They have been a "dedicated Green, Family Managed
Business serving and supporting organic and healthy food stores since
1991!" - AND might I add have hardly upped their prices during those
years of service.  So thank you, Chunks of Energy,
for being so yummy, healthy, environmental, and AFFORDABLE! My personal
favorite flavor is the "Chocolate Almoond Chip" (with "High Country
Gorp" at a close second) and Liah's is the "Carob Spirulina" (the
original flavor which started the business off!). Using Chunks
of Energy as a lifesaver energy source on tours, trips, busy days, and
as an easy, healthy snack in between meals, has helped us stay healthy
and energized and we hope it does the same for you! Love, Kelly and Liah www.leftonredmusic.com

Thank you friends for coming out
on a rainy Wednesday night to see Left on Red at Ace of Clubs!
Here is the re-cap:
-We got to the venue and it smelled a bit like a musty sock so I ran out to buy some Indian nagchampa
incense while Kelly set up the sound and got the band situated. I think
the incense totally brought up the vibration of the club and set the
tone for an awesome night. We will do this at every show where we can
from now on.
-It was the first time we played with this full band configuration: Mark Bosch on lead guitar, Ippei Ichimaru on Bass, Nick "Yuki" Miscusi on percussion and uke and Jessica Mease
singing harmonies on "Shine" and "I can look at the Sun". The songs
translated amazingly with a full band and it was so freeing to play
with such amazing musicians!
-Surprise guest drummer, our friend Albert Bouchard (original drummer for Blue Oyster Cult)
showed up with some friends and hopped on stage for the whole show and
made the songs sound huge and AMAZING! We never even rehearsed with him
but he is a long time friend of Kelly's and mine and is the sweetest
most down to earth person. We love you Albert!
-The after party was a blast. I am still not sure how we organized 20 people to walk across town to the East Village to Yaffa Cafe.
If you haven't been there yet you MUST go!!! I love the artsy, laid
back atmosphere and Yaffa has excellent people watching, the food is so
yummy and it comes out so super fast that it appears the chef's must
have psychic abilities. The Sangria is pretty sneaky so watch out..as
Kelly observed after getting buzzed off one glass "It's not juice, but
it pretends to be".

Hello:)
Our album is now available via the Left on Red website
and for digital download on i-tunes!!! Kelly and I are so excited to
see a years worth of writing and singing and gigging be manifested into
something positive and beautiful and professional..I am so please to
share it with you:)
(Left on Red Album Cover, Photo by Monte Isom)
I am so thankful to Kelly for being my partner on this uncertain
adventure, this musical road of laughter and challenge. We have had an
amazing year, playing shows in LA, Nashville, San Diego and NYC and
that's just the start:)
Left on Red is taking the album on the road for an East coast tour this Summer.
We are in the process of figuring out how we can make our way across
country playing music, by selling our CD and t-shirts and sharing music
with new friends.
We also want to learn how to farm somewhere along the way too:)
Thanks so much to my mom, to Steve Emley and Scott Davis for making
this album possible and helping Left on Red live our dream of lighting
up the world with music!!!
Thanks for being a friend:)
Enjoy the music!
hugs, Liah
