Sold out Shows and More . . .

[Snowbird]

"What emotions run through your head walking out on stage to a sold out house?"

First thing is we’ve gone out on the road so many times as an opening band, we’re so used to having the crowd be sort of taken by surprise because we’re like the little pot of gold you get. You thought you were coming for the rainbow. We always kind of surprise the audience… pirating their wills away from them, but now they came for us. It’s really heart warming and exciting when you look out at these faces and you know that’s what they devoted their night to."

Got to admit I've always loved this little pot of gold!

Then there's the Q/A about clothes and style that keep popping up . . .


"Now as I’ve grown up I realized if you can be a front woman and you can be comfortable in your own skin and you could wear whatever the fuck you want on stage; that is going to be more believable than this façade of wanting to be taken seriously."

You got my night this saturday...and I could not be more thrilled to spend it that way!!
I am glad she said that she can wear whatever the fuck she wants, that is what I have been saying all along. I don't know about the rest of the fans who have been seeing them since the pre-roses days, but, as much as I love her 'off stage look', which was essensially her 'old' look, it never really seemed to fit right for me with the rest of the show. The music and energy, not to mention Grace's grooves on that stage did not reflect the flannel and cowboy boots. They were always able to deliver that sensuality despite their wardrobe, but now it is all more cohesive. Under all that VT. garb Grace has always been wearing the glitter and dresses, she was just allowing her fears to keep it all covered up. Amen to being who you want to be!

Oh, and the dance every day thing, that sounds like the perfect exercise plan for me. I cannot believe this groovin' guava did not think of that!

Agree with your cohesive observation - well-stated! And, the fun part, for us pre-roses fans [like your line of demarcation] is that it's as if there was a complete metamorphis - not the music - the appearance.
