Wreckless Love = Breakfast Club.

So what do the phrases "wreckless love" and "breakfast club" have in common? 
Nothing really, except that for months, I errounsly thought that the title lyrics to the A.Keys song "wreckless love" was actually "breakfast club".  My version went like this.

baby , let's go
to that breakfast club
That crazy love, that I don't care
We can do it anywhere 
Kind of love
That breakfaaaast club. 

Make sense? No.
True story? Yes.

Nola Who?

Don't ever say we didn't try to put you on.

So here is the story. In the spring of 2007, Brooklyn’s iconic fly girl (the one who just had 'to have IT') got reincarnated in a Queens NY & East LA duo of feminine noise makers. The rest is music history in the making.
And if you didn't know, now you do…so no excuses!

The extra darling & fabulously-Fresh Chicas who are "Nola Darling" release a brand new mixtape-ish, non-concept-concept sound bomb. Straight to Stereo.












Nola Darling is proud to introduce the world’s first ever “Mini-Mixtape,” a new format in which to release music.


Too many original songs to be classified an EP… Not enough sampled tracks to be labeled a mixtape…. Too random to be considered a concept album…Not miscellaneous enough to be categorized a compilation… too soon to be the greatest hits…too late to be a single… too dope to be dubbed anything but a “Mini-Mixtape.”



P.S. Make sure to check these flygirls3000 for free why you still can...BACKYARD COUTURE Baby!

BLK JKS Live At Harriet's Alter Ego


Big ups to the good folks over at DigForFire.tv who just recently released these amazing videos
!

Waaaay back in April, our favorite South African Sound Benders stopped through for what was suppose to be a quite farewell to their stateside debut tour.








While we'd like to think of ourselves as refined ladies; we don't really know how to "do" quite goodbyes.

Ahtaah! Taah, Taah,
Taah!

BackYard Couture...The Recap.






Ok, so this past Saturday in Brooklyn was crazy! Every corner, every backyard and every park had an amazing event going on. But despite the looming threat of rain and the smorgasboard of things for folks to get into -BackYard Couture was BANANAS!

Sarah White, 77Klash, Sweetie & the FREAKING AMAZING HEAVy literally brought traffic to a stand still on Flatbush avenue.

Thanks to the great vendors, our talented DJ, the best Veggie Burgers on the planet (according to all of you guys who kept coming up to us asking where you could get em') & Kitty Hawk's Infamous Rum Punch a great time was had by all!

Special, big, lovely, humongous, shout out to all our sponsors, partners and of course YOU!!
