Wow.  Well, the Space is an amazing venue.  

I was skeptical at soundcheck.  

Clubs always look so sad in the daylight.  And the PA was out of order...

But when we arrived 15 seconds before showtime to a hot, sweaty, packed house, it all made sense.  

I think we sort of nailed it.  I'm not saying we didn't make some mistakes or whatever.  

But I think it was actual real entertainment!

Most importantly, we had a BLAST.

Hoping to see you guys on what they call "The Road"...

ALL AND EVERYONE,

I AM SO EXCITED TO DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO THE NEW OFFICIAL MYSPACE PAGE FOR GRAND DUCHY:

http://www.myspace.com/grandduchymusic

NOW, INSTEAD OF RELYING ON LITTLE ME TO KEEP YOU INFORMED OF ALL THINGS GRAND DUCHY-ISH, YOU CAN GO DIRECTLY TO THE SOURCE, HERE TRACKS, AND GET THE JUICE.

(YOU CAN STILL COME ON OVER TO MY HOUSE AND SAY HELLO ANYTIME, THOUGH!)

YOURS,

VIOLET CLARK

Folks: Violet will be chatting with esteemed alternative radio personality JONATHAN L tonight at 6pm Pacific Standard Time. He will be playing a few songs from the upcoming record "PETITS FOURS" as well... ...so DON'T MISS IT!! "LOPSIDED WORLD OF L" on 97.9 FM 98KUPD Or WORLDWIDE on YOUR Computer - LIVE!

HI AGAIN, I know it seems crazy that there isn't an official myspace page for the band yet. I am working on it. It was a matter of the Left Hand not knowing what the Right Hand was doing. Rest assured that this is being addressed RIGHT NOW. Soon you will be able to preview songs and get your information from an official source and not little pieces and snippets from me on my personal page. So keep your eyes out -- sometime this week! Violet

Hi, I'm Violet! I am about five to ten years behind on this whole computer Myspace kind of thing. Join me on adventures as I figure it all out, make some new friends, and learn some valuable life lessons along the way.
