This just in from The Broadway Blog — “STRIKING 12 Strikes Again”: Their show is an entertaining, one-of-a-kind combo of indie rock concert and touching holiday fairy tale (though secular…the holiday is New Year’s Eve), with enough bah-humbug cynicism and fourth-wall-breaking humor to keep it well out of saccharine territory…It’s a must-see opportunity. – Tom [...]

Kathy Diamant did a phone interview with us about the origins of Sleeping Beauty Wakes and what we’re up to–and we ranged far and wide in our conversation. Check it out: http://www.kpbs.org/news/2011/aug/23/groovelily-wakes-sleeping-beauty/ It’s a pretty nice story of how we got where we are, and what we hope for the future.

The newest and most talked-about song of the show is Beauty’s rock anthem, “Good For Me” – and though we don’t have leading lady Aspen Vincent on the recording, we do have our own *brand new demo* available for streaming and download. Pay what you can, share it around, spread the word, and tell everyone [...]
