LIVE AT PIANOS

I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving with friends and family galore. I spent mine with my roommate and his friends, which was absolutely lovely. Everyone brought their creations and we all ate on a sacrificial ping pong table; which later lent its purpose when we needed to immediately shed a few grams post-face-stuffing.

Friends are great to have around, and I really hope to see you around on the 1st of December as we seal the year with a few gigs. We hit at 9pm in the upstairs lounge and it's going to be great to share the bill with fellow McGill alumni Alex Mallett (at 8pm) and Dylan Sneed (7pm). If you can't make it out on Monday, I will also be playing at Silvana's on Saturday, December 13th at 8pm. It's a great spot in Harlem with a spacious stage and good sound.

In other news, we have one more recording date in the studio and then we'll be off to mixing. Nir and I are super excited to move forward with the record.

...more news to come!

SOWEE..

I know I've been out of touch... but that's because I've been having so much fun this summer. In late July, I got to visit my 88 year-old grandmother. She makes this amazing traditional morsel of goodness called "zhong". I had decided in the spring that I would take on the challenge of learning her recipe before it would be too late to do so. Here are my first four attempts:

It's a one-day process with lots of soaking - rice, mung beans, bamboo leaves, dried shrimp, dried scallops. It is delicious. I meticulously wrote down all the instructions and took video after video to make sure I didn't skip a step. 

In the midst of visiting my family, my friends and my birthplace, my homies from PAX HUMANA released an album, which I am super proud to be on:

Now here's the thing: my alter ego "Cailla" also released music this summer, making this my first official EP on iTunes! With the boys at DISTRI.CO in D.C., along with producer Mesta Bish, we were able to release this baby. This is one of my more "poppier"-sounding projects. Enjoy and support!

I feel like I've accomplished so much this summer, yet there's so much more to do, which makes living in NY so exciting. Nir and I are heading back into the studio on the 25th and 26th to lay down guitars and vocals..the final s t r e t c h is here and I can't wait to share my prized baby with you guys once it's done. Until then, I have a few shows coming up - it would be great to see you there. Check out the "SHOWS" section of my site for more details.

Yup.

Ladies and Fellers,

Thanks to those who came out to the show last Sunday. We had a blast - it's always so fun to play at Rockwood. Here are some photos taken by the lovely Flavia Mensen:

My next show is on June 30th at Chez Oskar- the last one before I take a little break for the summer to finally tighten up the album. Nir and I head back into the studio on July 6th to do some overdubs and edits. Enjoy the beautiful summer weather and stay tuned for more updates!

Rockwood and More...

Hey there!

It's been a few months, as you've probably noticed. That's because I've been locked up in my goddess cave practicing my fingers off for my next gig at Rockwood Music Hall on Sunday, June 15th at 6pm. Hope to see you guys there! I've also been in and out of the studio with Nir, my fantabulous producer. Here are some photos from the session at Indigo Electrik studios:

Kaley Victoria Rose

Behold, dear audience, the birth of Kaley Victoria Rose.

About a year-and-a-half ago, I was approached by producers Mesta Bish and Vito Finamore to co-write music for a project that had been four years in the making already. The project was a huge undertaking: a handful of incredibly talented female voices, each of which would represent one woman suffering from a severe case of multiple-personality disorder.

A year-and-a-half later, she is born. I am so proud of Mesta and Vito, not to mention the Beyond Our Years crew that helped to put it all together.

You can download the full album right here: www.kaleyvictoriarose.com

My voice can be heard 5 times on the album. I would suggest that you sit down and listen to all the individual voices because my sisters in music have all put their heart into this project.

A warning though, spooky as it can get, it indulges us with the dark fantasies that one may have had as a child growing up; brace yourselves for a dose of raw genius.

Love,
May

WELCOME TO MY NEW WEBSITE!

This particular spring has encouraged a pronounced sense of change within me. I needed a face-lift for my web-presence so voila! Here it is. I hope you enjoy it!

In other news, last month, Nir and I headed into Electrik Indigo Studios in DUMBO, where we cleaned up some bass parts and laid down some tasty guitar tracks. I can't wait to share the tracks with you. In the meantime, here are some photos:

We're booked in the studio for April 11th for some more guitars...stay tuned.
