Ooh La La, Sha Sha... press release

August 2007

Miss Fairchild, the Boston-based Pop-Funk band, announce the release of their sophomore long-player Ooh La La, Sha Sha… on Tuesday, September 4, 2007. With a style that distills the best funk and pop music from the past thirty years into a fresh new sound, the album fuses the band’s flair for spectacle with a genuine knack for what works.

Outdoor Festivals

We played at the Psyforia Festival yesterday and what a fun time we had! The event was held at the American Legion in Cambridge, outdoors, right next to the Charles River. I should mention that it was pretty hot yesterday. I never saw a thermometer, but I’m pretty good at guessing these things and I would estimate we were in the low to mid nineties (that’s Fahrenheit, by the way). That river started looking pretty good after a few minutes performing in direct sunlight, but not one for swimming in city rivers, we stayed ashore, played our funk music to a festival crowd and had a whale of a time.

We were invited to the event by our close friend and original Jive Sucka! Ammon EP, who is a terrific dj, an emerging producer and unbelievable hooper. That’s with a hula hoop for those of you unfamiliar with the fad. (I call it a fad not to be derogatory, but because when I was taught the word ‘fad’ in elementary school, the hula hoop was the example that we were given. In fact, whenever I think of the word, an image of plastic tubular ring, often in bright shades of orange, pink and green, comes to mind.) So, listen, I’m serious: Ammon is unbelievable with a hoop. The whole phenomenon is so much more developed than I previously realized. In fact, there were quite a few people hooping at the event and they were all pretty much amazing.

And there was food (thanks Heidi!) and more music and a great crowd. There were friends and family. Not to rub it in, but I really don’t know how you missed it. (Did I mention we performed?)

Speaking of which…

We saw a really fun band tonight at the Lizard Lounge. This is, indubitably, some rockstar shit. We had a great time. Yeah!

Daddy Wrall in the papers

Wrall has spoken. About his favorite things. Apparently ice cream is number one. Who knew?

Miss Fairchild on the Boob Tube

Well, well, well. It seems that Miss Fairchild was on television yesterday. (I say “seems” not because I didn’t know, but beacuse I can’t believe it was yesterday. Time flies when you’re playing funk music!) We stopped over at the Plum TV ‘Morning, Noon & Night’ Show while we were waiting for the ferry, and looking each 1/3 cowboy and 2/3 dapper (that’s a whole lot of fly, by the way), were recruited to take their program home for them. So, if you missed it live (it was live! Did I mention that?), see it now and let them know what you think.

[It’s just Miss Fairchild, by the way. You’ll have to go to Youtube if you want to see The Miss Fairchild Show.]
