Live Review - The Gassienda

Taken from the MySpace site of The Gassienda, Keighley

"Well hell yeah we really did get her back in the club!!

She just blew in from the windy city and rocked this joint to pieces.

She is 50ft of shexyness, classy kinda sassy with her skirt way above her knees…….as Steven Tyler would say !!

But yes sir, this band, are as tight as the proverbial nuns crutch. With tunes more catchier than crabs in Blackpool on the Glasgow fortnight !!!

Minki, poor gal was wee bit under the weather. But she sang her 50ft heart out to the pleasure of one and all. She really has got herself one helluva band. Totally together and it does give me pleasure (!) when a band make the effort to look like a Rock 'n' Roll band….I do wish others would take note !! But there again I am a stickler for that kinda thing !!!

Coming on like a female fronted Aerosmith with plenty of AC/DC riffs and with a subtle hint of pop made it a great show. Songs such as 'Ultra Violet', 'Strictly Only Swinging' and 'Skinny Minnie' are pure pop rock 'n' roll so much so it made me wanna whip out me old glam rock gear and shake some action. Great band and really nice folks!! Well worth a look at from any angle !!!!"

GIGS - Dates for your diary

50ft Woman will be playing the following dates - the last shows of the year, so if you wanna see me, you have 2 choices ... I am calling it the One Up There and One Down Here mini-tour

Friday 28th November, The Gassienda, Keighley
Saturday 29th November, The Good Ship, Kilburn

(Thought I would keep it symmetrical and have 2 venues beginning with G in 2 places beginning with K! :D)

There will be the usual fun and frolics - wear something red as it is a bit near to Chr*stmas (any excuse for a party) and bring a lovely fabulous picture of shoes with your email addy on it for the Shoe Shrine. There will prizes for my favourites!!

More information on both gigs can be found on MySpace page - www.myspace.com/50ftWoman

Yes, it's that time again. No - not the end of summer (though it feels like it), but the chance to do your bit and give me that big push to something rather marvellous - a support slot with Dodgy in Autumn.

Metro newspaper are running the MeMusic competition to find a support band for Dodgy's December UK tour. I have entered 'Soho Sophisticated', which I thought was quite appropriate for a London paper, but now I need you all to go and rate it for me. The top ten tracks will be chosen by a panel of 'experts' but apparently this WILL be from the top 100 rated tunes.

But you haven't got long ... the competition closes on 24th August. That is THIS Saturday - so please get promoting and voting!

Please click on http://memusic.metro.co.uk/users/50ftwoman and click on the heart icon next to Soho Sophisticated to say you like the track. You can also add tags, which will help other people find me - and please, leave a comment so I know you stopped by.

**New** Photo Update!!

New photos uploaded in the live gallery taken from the Halfmoon video and lots of new goodies in the newly named 'Mirror in the Bathroom' section; basically my self portraits, which usually occur in the bathroom after a night out with just me and my camera or phone for company.

More to come soon, including some new collages and a new video page.

There are also plans for more section to the website, so if you have any ideas you would like to see included, drop me a line at web@50ftwoman.com.

Facing the competition (s)

OK, 50ft Woman has entered 2 competitions that require your clicking of a mouse!

The first is the chance to feature on a national radio and online ad for the new Samsung F400 phone ...

Click on http://www.f400share.com/ to vote. Unfortunately there is no specific link to find my track, but if you click on Latest Tracks, it should be there for the next few days (hopefully!!). The competition closes on 29th June, so don't delay, and please pass on the link.

The second is for Intel Studio and the change to win a record contract, a chance to work with a top industry producer and manager and promotion for the first single. This is an ongoing competition with heats each month at Proud in Camden so is an excellent opportunity - but only if you get voting!!

Click on http://studio.intel.com/Artists/Default.aspx to vote.

Unfortunately both competitions require logging in (sorry!) so you may want to use that special SPAM email address you set up earlier ;-)

Thanks all - and I will have more news for you very shortly, plus uploading of some fantastic new pics - so keep coming back!!

50ft Woman at the Red Stripe Music Awards (14th Feb)

After a storming packed-to-the-rafters pre-Christmas gig, it's time for me to return to stalking the streets of London.

I have been nominated by the infamous Halfmoon in Putney for the Red Stripe Music Awards and the first round of showcase gigs is on 14th February - yes, yes, I know that's Valentine's Day - even more excuse to come on down and show the lurve.

As usual, there is a theme, which appopriately is wear something red. It's doesn't have to be an all-over tomato suit, just a splash of something red so I know you care (plus it fits in with Red Stripe, geddit?). There will also be another opportunity to bring your offerings for the shoe shrine, though quite frankly, anyone would thing people in North Yorkshire didn't LIKE *pause for effect* SHOES! This I cannot believe. The ShoeShoe Club still managed to get a few new members, but the turn out was poor. I think they were all shy!

For those of you who don't know yet what on earth the ShoeShoe Club is ... this is the celebration of all things shoes. Those shoes that defy description and can merely be called - art. Shoes that are not even meant to be walked in, just worn and admired. For more information you can peruse http://www.shoeshoeclub.com. If you want to join, just bring a picture of your favourite shoes OR the shoes you would most like the object of your desire to wear. Write your name and email address on the back and simply bring it to the front of the stage to the shoe shrine. Don't be shy!

So - the details in compact bijou format
