When my band broke up last spring it left me and my homie Shanna feeling pretty bitter. Why is it so hard to find awesome females these days that aren't flaky? I worked so hard to be original and promote shows and just well to have a good time! It was not meant to be something to win a freaking popularity contest or try to sound a certain style or way. I feel that with the Impatients we created our own style and originality at least with the songs that me and Shanna wrote. To put so much creativity and effort into something and then to have people who you think are your friends just mysteriously get up and walk away, because they "aren't happy or having fun"...fucking blows. Anyhow, I'm over it(besides the occasional shitty feeling lol). I can't help but feel like it's for the best afterall I'm in a better place in my life now, and with that being my first band I have learned that there needs to be a certain chemistry between people you want to be in a band with. If you just jump into a band with someone you don't know and assume shit will work out..you are dead wrong. You might end up wanting to kill them lol. As far as plans for the future I have a few tricks up my sleave, and this time I'm not just going to jump into the shit. We had started a band called Doll Fangs with a couple friends, but sadly I couldn't commit to it at that point in time. I was feeling a bit overwhelmed once I found out I was pregnant! HAha! So, I put all that on hold. At the current time I'm learning to become a better bass player and will be merging that with singing. Chris will play drums and Shanna on guitar. My dream for an all girl punk band will go on the back burner for now, because I realize what matters more is being able to function and create as a band with people that you enjoy being with and working with and well that you can flow with. This band will be punk as hell and I am super psyched. I don't feel that being a mother will hold me back on this. It might be hard at first when baby is little, but I plan on taking my time with this one and being able rock the fuck out when we are ready :) Anyhow here is a video of something I tried to strive towards an awesome all girl band called the Chin Chins and for memory's sake I will post an Impatients vid or two. Also, our old myspace is still up and there are tons of pix on there :) www.myspace.com/theImpatients5
