Just for you: My Substack Writings

Hello Darlings.

Today I have something special to share especially with you.
For the last few years, I’ve been working on gathering my personal writings, essays, and poems I’ve written in hopes of finding a home for them.
So I am trying out the Substack platform, and I have uploaded nine various writings, touching on topics from touring to aging to trolling to creativity.


And I'm so excited to let you (our Patreon family) have first peak!

Venom slowed down anyone? (+ a few updates!)

Hi loves,

Venom sped up was such a blast, so this week we’ve got Venom slowed down for you! If the sped up version was made for your workout, maybe this one’s perfect for… a nap? 😉

We’ve passed along your requests for other sped-up versions (Diseased! Panic Attacks!) to our partners at Kartel (our distribution company), and we can’t wait to share those as soon as they’re ready.

And for some really great news...we’re back in the studio with Mi...

The Venom version you didn't know you needed

Check this out: We have a special early release just for patrons: Venom sped up! We will be sharing this to our official youtube channel shortly but we wanted you to have it FIRST. This version sounds like ariel stuffed her cheeks with a bunch of marshmallows and sang the song like a chipmunk. It's pretty great!

It's almost got us wondering if we need a slowed down venom version too....? Or any other of our songs?? Comment your suggestions below and we'll do those next....

New video: my vocal warmup routine

Hi friends! Here’s a special video about what I do to warm up my vocals before every show. Whether you’re a singer or just singing-curious, there is so much beautiful territory to explore with our voices!

I hope you enjoy the breakdown of my singing routine as well my current mental approach. It’s all about finding the yumminess! As evidenced by my very fuzzy slippers 😁

Wanna sing some songs with us next week?

Hiiiii!

I hope you are having a fun and magical and healing summer. Or, if you are just barely hanging in there… That’s OK too.

Either way we can’t wait to get to hang out with you next week for our August acoustic show live stream! Shawn took song requests last time… We’ll see how many of them make it in the set list ;-) I’m personally hoping for some deep cuts 🔥.

Making my Squad Deck

Hey friends! I felt inspired this morning to finally make my SISTER SQUAD DECK (currently accepting better name suggestions 😆 ) and wanted to share it with you!

The idea behind this is to make a more tangible representation of the inspiring humans that I want to call to mind. If you are looking for a way to bring more sparkle and strength into your every day life, give this fun exercise a try! Love, Ariel

Unreleased Demo: Push it away

IAHQ- we are so excited to share one of our recently recovered demos from our early days as a band! Shawn Jump produced this track, around 2009. It starts out with a haunting acoustic guitar and then bursts into full band complete with harmonies, then leaves as quick as it came.

The first verse has some lyrics I still really love- "To hold yourself together is a science, not an art, you tell the body what to think, then synchronize the heart..."

We're so grateful for our patreon ...

YCKU REJECT Photoshoot look👀

In 2016, newly released from our record contract, we did a DIY photoshoot to promote out upcoming kickstarter campaign. We've shared every single look with you except this one...until now.

So....what are we doing here? What's up with the white blocks and the torn sweater vibe? I don't really know. We used the attached photo of Die Antwoord as wardrobe inspo and it didn't quite go how we'd planned. So we scrapped this look and vowed no one would ever see them. Ha!

Scripted Reject: One Million Ways 2008 Demo

AGH we can't wait to share this with you!! Presenting.....One Million Ways Demo-from 2008! I played it once on The REL Show (here) and it was a big hit.

THIS DEMO, however, has live guitars and drums dramatically busting in halfway through, just how we like it;)

What do you think?? Should we have included it on Scripted?? Either way, you get to enjoy it now, 17 years later...
