They live!
Great news today from the official site. After a disquieting post-election silence, the Sisters announce that they are alive and active, they've been writing a bunch of new songs, and they will soon be recording a full-length album, to be released by those discerning folks at American Laundromat.
And they'll be playing a show April 8 at Pianos. Come one, come all.
Speaking of the Laundromat, change of plans on that Eighties tribute album. The Go-Gos song is gone-gone, and instead the Sisters will be covering The Smiths' "Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want." Good call, I say. Although I had been interested in hearing the Caulfieldized version of "We Got the Beat" (complete with accordion feedback), I think The Smiths' darkness fits better with what the Sisters are all about. Plus, I cringed at the thought of every snarky third-rate music writer forever tagging them with the nickname "Go-Gos cover band."
It looks like the Sisters initiated the switch. American Laundromat honcho Joe says:
Actually The Caulfield Sisters asked if they could cover The Smith's song instead of the Go Go's tune. I liked their choice a lot so we're going with it.
Anyway, the official site so seldom has anything new from the Sisters, so let's quote their latest missive in its entirety:
GREETINGS DARLING PEOPLE
Oh, it’s been a long time since we said a little electronic “hello” but the forces of evil have had control over our website password…we suspect the Bush Administration.
Lots of good things are happening in Caulfield land. Our EP “Say It With Fire” has been getting some sweet reviews and we couldn’t be happier (see press). We are also pleased and proud to announce that American Laundromat Records will be selling our EP online at www.americanlaundromatrecords.com. THANK YOU JOE and SEAN!!
We will also be appearing on the American Laundromat Release, “High School Reunion”, a compilation featuring songs from all those 80’s movie we know and love like “Pretty in Pink”, “The Breakfast Club” and “Repo Man” to name a few. We will be tackling “Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want” by The Smiths. Look for it in September. The one and only Miss Kristin Hersh will be contributing a track along with others and we couldn’t be prouder to be in the company of the likes of such amazing artists.
We took a little break from live shows over the past few months to do some writing. We are going to start work on a full-length record next month and hope to have it completed by the Summer 05. American Laundromat Records will be releasing it.
Look for us live April 8th at Pianos with Loaded Dreams and Mercury Stars.
We missed you…
Cindy, Mary and Kristin
Same here. Welcome back!
