Hey,
It's been awhile.
We've just posted some new songs on the site. As always, all comments are appreciated!
We're really excited. Our album is getting released in January in the U.K. We're scheduled to get a release by Genepool Records in January. Check out their website at genepoolrecords.com. We've checked the company out and they seem great. Very music driven which seems to becoming a rare thing.
Hmmm, let's see. We've come back from Oslo and we are seriously enjoying the weird summer weather in NYC. Granted, it's due to global warming and should really be freaking me out....which it is....but still.
I went to a dinner recently for the man who wrote the book "Banker to the poor". His name is Muhammad Yunus and i'm now an official groupy. I never thought Micro-lending could be so fascinating. The man has taken a hundred million people out of poverty. I urge you to buy the book.
Anyway, I'll write again soon.
Lauren

Nice to get some news from you!!! It early in the morining here in Germany and I hate this...but have to catch the train to Munich for work.

Congratulation for getting a record deal in the UK. Hope it will turn out good and you are doing some promotion???

Will take a look for "Banker to the poor", but I think I heard of him before. He is the person who "gives" small credits to everyone in that particular countries, that they can help then themselves!
A good person to be a groupy of ;-)

Take care!

That's fantastic news Lauren. I bought the album from a friend in Norway, but I'll tell my friends they can soon buy it from the UK.

Hi dear Loren! I always read your comments with much interest, thank you for your messages. I guess the weather becomes more and more weird everywhere on the Earth. We have the snow in December only, and earlier it was already in October. Thought I find it comfortable, because I don't like cold. But it's sad to know that such things cause really bad outcome.

oh hooray!! Now we can buy Savoy stuff in the UK!! *excited!*
Yes, weird weather. By this time of the year I remember it used to be frosty and foggy all the time. Someone once sang: "Dawn awaits the sleepless English town of coloured grey..." Not naming any names here, but I suspect you know who it was!!! :-D

Hello you all !!!
It's great to hear such a good news !!! If your album is getting released in the U.K, then, maybe there is a chance that we'll have it here in Belgium too... !!!
I hope you had great weather and fun in Oslo !!
I discoverd the town in May and i really liked it - i first went at the Nobel Price Center - and spent 3 hours watching and listening to the stories of all the great people-associations- who "won" the price... i guess Mister Yunus is one of the Nobel Price ...(i wonder if Mister Harket didn't contribute to make him win the price... or was it someone else...??? ) but you know, i'm member of an international women association and i was asked to introduce a man coming from Nepal (sorry for the mistakes in writting) who is helping little children and their mother to survive and to get instruction., because he created some "lifeplaces" where he helps children without family or left all alone... You should meet him too !!! He really diserves to be recognised for his great job... and if you feel like going and see what he makes in his region, just tell me and i'll be glad to come with you... !!! Some business people i know made the "travel" to show their children how lucky they are here in Belgium and also to spend a few "real" time together... it must be a great experience to share... ).
Waiting for hearing some more, I send you all my best health, happiness, and success wishes !!!
Take care of you !!!
Big hugs from Malmedy
Bernadette

Fantastic news! Though I assume it will be an identical release to the one we've all imported as soon as it was released. ;-)

Like a few others have said, some gigs would go down well to promote it! :-)

Wishing you all the best with it.

love Lesley xxx

Hey Lauren!
Great to see you here again!
And what a wonderful news! Savoy now also in U.K!
Who knows someday in other countries too, huh? ;-)
Here in the south, just where I live (Campinas - 90 km from São Paulo) we haven't rain for 2 months, as you said, the global warming that's freaks me too... :-o

Keep in touch! =)

How great to hear from you again. :)
Congratulations on a record deal in the UK you are happy with. Maybe that will mean a few concerts there next year? That would be fantastic cos I am moving back to England at the end of the year.
I must admit I haven't heard of the book "banker to the poor" before but it sounds intruiging. It's nice that there are still people out there in this day and age who are trying to look after others and aren't just self centred. Do some of the profits from the book go towards good causes?
I never have dinner dates with famous people,lol. :)

Thank you so much for th information on the book, as a cancer patient, I have more medical bills then I can even begin to pay, especially since I can't work. I will have to try and get to the library and get his book there. Can't wait till the CD is released.

Good to hear something new from you. Great news :)
I hope I can get the CD.
Now here's an indian summer, but we just called it "the crones' summer" in Hungary.
If I'll have any time, I'll look for the book.

I'm glad you got signed there. I hope you can get an indie deal here too. Then I can go to emusic. I've had to have someone with Oslo connections get the albums for me, and Oslo, you know, is not a cheap city!
