day 170

a gossip girl rocks out

        

cindy lou who a rocker? yep, little j - aka taylor momsen - and her band, the pretty reckless, made their debut last night at new york city's annex as the veronica's opening act.  taylor has long expressed the desire to form a band and/or launch a singing career and it's not coming true. over the past year, taylor has helped develop, conceive, and assist in picking a style and sound for the pretty reckless with the help of interscope records, with whom the band is signed.  if you want a chance to see the group perform live, just grab some veronicas tickets. taylor and her punk-rock crew will be opening for the australian sisters through the summer.  but if you can't manage that, the band's debut cd is set to drop this fall and features song writing credits by taylor.  click here to hear a leaked demo from the pretty reckless; the song's name is unknown, but i'm quite the fan.  and, remember, little j isn't the only gg star with a singing career. leighton meeser (aka blair) was recently signed to universal and will be in the recording studio this summer to get an album out by the end of the year.  click here to hear her demo of the 80s punk rock hit (and similar sounding voice to taylor momsen) "bette davis eyes." both stars' reps say their singing careers won't affect their gossip girl status or conflict with shooting schedules. no word on whether singing will be incorporated into the show though.  

that's it kiddos. check twitter for some smaller stories.
