Jamila just wants to groove you!

So, just as we are wrapping up our pre-production meeting (side note...recording starts next week!), our lovely bass player Jamila hits us with this little gem.

sooooooo obsessed.

ok so, just finished our show with LITTLE DRAGON at the fire.

yeah yeah YEAH, we play at the fire all the time. yeah, i have worked there for over three years. yeah, we're STILL not sick of the place. you wanna know why? (besides a semi-solid-ish paycheck and the most radical people ever and some mayjah emotional attachments...) we get to meet and play and bro-down real serious-like with a band so siiiick that i chose to forgo peeing until the end of their set (keeping in mind that i had to go like so bad. badly. like really, REALLY badly). they rule on so many levels. goldiebox is so! insanely! obesessed with the swedish megapower four-some. will you marry us, dear little dragon?

check back for super important little dragon/goldiebox photoshoot photos. um, so awes. just waiting on parties involved to email said photos to thine accountus emailius for some honest-to-god, substantial, legitimate, bona fide, in the flesh, heartfelt, sensible, no-nonsense blogging purposes.

check their shit. now. or else (mild threat. no offense).

what a night.

ali out.

getting some power thrusts in here before band practice.

it's rare to see a wadsworth emerge from their propective deep dark pits of despair (bedrooms) before the crack of noon. thanks to copius amount of fun had at all time poss and a job in bar indust, we sleep late. it's great wonderful grand. i don't mind missing the morning. mornings are okay. (unless they involve a trip to six flags or tubing down the delaware, where early rising is ESSENTIAL) afternoons are where it's at.

so whyyy you say is ali blogging at 10:48 in the morning? (i know weird, riiiight?)

i'll tell you dear blog. we're practicing. before noon. so i'm bout to give the ol' B-O-D a good strech-a-roo. wanna make sure i'm in tip top shape for practice time. yep, gon do some dips and lunges and shit. yeah.

so here's what's going on in goldieboxland. we got a show next tuesday july 21st at the fire. with THIS amazing band:

meet LITTLE DRAGON.



they're so god damn awes-to-the-max. the videos rule. their songs are amazing. i'm mildly obsessed. and GET THIS. they're from gothenburg, sweden. that is where dear claire wadsworth was born! and where ali wadsworth ran around and played with bees! pretty awes, huh?

check out these two little dragon videos.

xo,
ali goldiebox.

goldiebox rocked the roxy. and all of your boxies!

so not sure if we properly filled youse ins on the happenings of our first (of many!) LA shows. and did we have some serious funfunfun!

we played our first westcoastshow at the good hurt in venice/marina del rey. we had a glooorious time, opening for a god damn guns and roses tribute band, CHINESE DEMOCRACY. it was most excellent. seriously. how very LA of us! and how very ridiculous and amazing. and they were pretty solid i must say. lordy lord.

t'was a nice warm-up for our big roxy show the next night. we had to scramble ramble for practice spaces and equipment before the shows. but luckily we have some pretty solid friends out there. our friend steve (squeve!) lent us his insanely amazing house in the valley to practice in their music room. i have videos from the palace that will upload as soon as i get the flip flixed :( but it looks like we made quite a fan. meet lily, the cutest little peanut and our youngest fan to date!

so after the festivities we held our OFFICIAL AFTER PARTY at the one. the only. CHATEAU MARMONT! holler!! no, no lindsay lohan sightings. bummer, i know. but we rocked it sans-lohan! we represented with erica and tronstein and met many a skeevy rich man. it was glorious and everything i could have ever hoped for.
