Aoede-Lis, Dave, John at Aroma Roasters, Santa Rosa July 2009 Aoede-POP ROCK-News From the Muse- AUGUST 2009

".....as I find myself being whisked away by the sounds of Aoede I need a copy of Push and Pull in the house, in the vehicle, in the studio and in my head all the time. I've added this gem to my own personal favorite collection, but then you will too once you've treated your ears to this masterpiece! Just remember....A-E-D!" (KRIM Radio) liz caruana photography

Inspired, compelling stories of love, loss and longing spill out and take you, shake you, and wake you-emotionally evocative, intelligent, vocal driven *pop rock*... Greetings: I can't believe it is AUGUST already! We had some fun back-to-back Sat-Sun shows in July up in Santa Rosa and then Sunday Streets in the Mission in San Francisco-Thanks to all who came and supported us as well to Wayne for having us and Humphrey's Ice cream for supplying power-they made our Cool Stuff list this month!! We'd LikeTo Get to know you better brunch...or get re-acquainted! Save the date: Sep 19th for September's "I'm Glad I Got-to-Know-You!" Saturday brunch in San Francisco for our San Francisco Bay Area friends and fans! Please email me if you are interested in attending and I will give you more details! As always, I welcome email telling me more about you and what drew you to us. Cool Stuff-check it out (sidebar) and let me know if you have stuff to include next time! I Lost You Win Video-we're back to it! After a long hiatus, thanks to Jason at Purebred Pro we shot additional footage for the video for I Lost, You Win-don't want to spoil anything so I'll just say the setting is very cool and we look forward to seeing edited footage! SHOWS This month, we will be playing some fun and community supported shows- For you San Francisco lovers, Sunday Streets is your opportunity to be car-free and enjoy biking, walking, and generally enjoying all the City has to offer...the next Sunday Streets in San Francisco will be at Ocean Beach on Sunday August 9th-and Aoede will be providing entertainment! If you are in the North Bay and missed us in July, we will be returning to Aroma Roasters in Santa Rosa on Sat. August 29th. A very warm and supportive place to relax and listen to tunes! -AND this month on WomenROCK: It's that time of the month again...join Aoede, Vanessa and many special WR guests for some soulful originals while you sit in a cozy cafe sipping hot drinks. A special not-to-be-missed show starring many WR artists for one night only...And are you a female artist and want to play at Bazaar Cafe on a future Wednesday?? Email me! Stories Behind Push and Pull: the seeds for Don't ...as usual, these stories are just for you-thank you for making a connection! Don't was inspired by a friend and written back in 2003-but its message is still alive and well-it is sort of a "you-can't-have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too" anthem directed at those guys who don't think that one woman is enough for them...a Pixies vibe on guitars thanks to Alex Karweit! You can hear it on the album-Track 10.  Huge thanks as always to YOU for reading and supporting and please write and update me! We couldn't do this without you!
