You may have heard we cancelled our show in Washington D.C. this Saturday (tomorrow) and and a couple of others in NYC/Philly...

Without getting into too much detail, I have been unable to perform 100% due to a serious strain in my vocal cords and I've been pushing myself to the extreme the last few months, performing, recording, writing and so forth and it not only worsened my condition but my doctor informed me I'm borderline damaging my chords permanently. I still didn't listen to him. I still kept rehearsing and trying to be as productive as possible cause I live for this shit...until however....I noticed I lost an entire octave off my vocal range. This was pretty much the scariest discovery I had made in a very long time. I'd rather chop my toe off, than not be able to sing. So I went cold turkey with cigerettes/alchohol/singing/screaming/talking a lot :-)/and pretty much changed my lifestyle for the past few weeks to prepare for our DC show because there was no way we were going to cancel.

After being absent from practice for almost 3 weeks, I decided to rehearse again and prep myself for the show. I realized then that I needed more time. Singing for 10 minutes felt like I was singing for 3 hours AND it hurt!! :-(

I hope you understand and I can't personally apologize enough for tomorrows absence and the ones in NYC and Philly.

We have been however keeping ourselves busy, writing a shit ton of songs, recording and pretty much preparing for our next release. We're just temporarily putting the vocals on the back burner for now.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and for those of you who I've made plans to see tomorrow, COME TO NYC...I'll grill you up some veggie burgers, I just won't talk your ear off and ramble on and on and on....

lOve,

HOLY SHIT KAT! I guess some docs know what their talking about? Wow...that's serious stuff. I really really really hope you regain 100%. Your voice is amazing and I know you want to share it with the world but we can wait...we'll put you on "repeat shuffle" until then. WE can wait...there's no need to strain your voice to the point of zero existance...now that is something we can't handle.
:)

Hopefully speaking for all your fans...

Love
Kimmie

ps. I hear ice cream makes everything better.
