Hello Friends!

Sometimes records are made over a couple long, inspired,
coffee-and-Makers-Mark fueled nights, sometimes over the course of a
month in some remote location... and sometimes the goal you're
reaching for is so precise, so lofty, that it ends up taking years to
complete. Paula Kelley was very lucky to band together with a very
talented and devoted group of players shortly after moving to Los
Angeles in 2005. The Orchestra played shows around town, Paula wrote
heaps of new material, her orchestral ambitions expanded, and some
time later, an album was commenced. That album is still under way,
as we hone the tracklist, and enlist more and more players to realize
our vision, but it is time to break the silence:

We are very excited to announce the release of our new EP 'Airports,'
featuring four stunning new Paula Kelley songs, gorgeously performed
by the Paula Kelley Orchestra. We're celebrating the release with
live shows and with a bunch of online exclusives, starting this week with the worldwide debut of 'Airports' (the song) here on MySpace! Check out the jukebox on our page first thing Monday morning to hear this glorious track, which could possibly be described as Al Green meets Margo Guryan on their way to the London Philharmonic. Give it a few
spins, comment on our page, add the song to your profile, do a little dance, call your travel agent, whatever!

We'll release more songs soon, and the EP itself will be available
online and at select retailers just in time for the International Pop
Overthrow, which has the PKO playing its finale show August 9th at The
Good Hurt.

Stay tuned...

xox,
The PKO
