Bye Bye Love. And other news.

First of all... we have to say farewell to our beloved drummer Vishal Goklani who will not be a part of Feral Kizzy any longer.. for he is venturing off to new lands. Although we will miss the living shit out of him... we cannot dispute a good solid adventure. Vishal is moving to Alaska.. all this time we never knew how much he loved fishing and Polar Bears. Peace be with you chiiild. I love you so much. You brightened my Mondays.


Second of all:

WE HAVE A NAME!!!!!!!!!!!!

F E R A L K I Z Z Y.
(Brenda likes that spacing effect) xoxo heheh!

November 1, 2010 Johnny and I were at Alex's Bar in Long Beach with some great pals when we first stumbled across the name.

Two member's of The Commotions; Marianne (singer), and Reuben (guitar, backup vocals), along with two of Long Beach's finest poets Anna Badua-Margrave and Clint Margrave were largely responsible for the discovery.. Drinks may or may not have been involved. The topic of pornstar name selection may or may not have been reviewed. Synonyms for "Ferocious," "Fierce," ect may or may not have been discussed. The time Anna, Marianne, and I threw lawn chairs in the air, and each other on the ground then ran at my college graduation party could have been touched upon.. I may or may not have been seeing a dude who I referred to as Tom Cat at the time, which sparked the whole "Feral Era" convo in the first place..

It was the first band name we fell hardest for.. Plus Kizzy is the name of my first cat..

Since then 2.5 months have past, several other names have been tossed around for safety sake, our rock n' roll family has grown, shrunk, grown, and shrunk... but we are still alive. Its the Neo-Family.. and these moments, and songs are our bebes... and this blog is the neo-scrapbook!

"Welcome to tha FUTAH" yes as quoted by Pauly Shore in Bio Dome, and yes... tis' a guilty pleasure. If you are nomadic at all... you're bound to get lonely.. these types of movies lighten things up a bit.. that's all. Heeyuck! ;P

Basically bottom line- its been a long time coming... and we've finally come to a consensus. HAIL HAIL!!

Two conclusions here: FERAL KIZZY & your friends are your barometers!

November 1, 2010; night of the naming!!
AND The Graduation party.. a break before we threw more lawn chairs!

One More Cup of Coffee cover



http://www.limarts.com/candice/onemorecoffee.mp3

This is a Bob Dylan original. Johnny and I covered it in my Highland Park livingroom ala Caja Rojas. Legend suggests Wyatt Earp lived in this very house! Yeehaaw! The photo is Anjelica Huston and Jack Nicholson in the prime of their on and off again 20 year relationship. True Loves! Harvey Milk once stated "You will have many loves in your lifetime. But sometimes it is only till you grow older, when you know who were just great friends, and your true lovers.

Duckie


http://www.limarts.com/candice/duckie.mp3

This song is inspired by the 80's cult classic- Pretty in Pink. In my opinion Andie lost her god damned mind for choosing Blaine and not Duckie. What the hell? So I pretended that I stole him from her, and then I tell her she's lame.. I wrote it during a harsh bout of post traveler blues/ cabin fever. So its got that icy bite to it! hehe

Sally and The Emcee



http://www.limarts.com/candice/sally.mp3

This one is about my best friend from High School who is now referred to as Mss Vee the Emcee extraordinaire ala Supper Club San Francisco. A beautiful, mezmorizing performer with a gentle, silly, sweet soul! Its about growing up together as performers, and what it means to be an 'escape artist.' Our bond grew rapidly through the mutual desire to want to hide behind a performance. Something or someone told us it was not okay to be ourselves- so we instinctively channeled our senses through a 24 hour show. My older sister reffered to us as Frick and Frack. I've moved 3 times since Mss Vee and I lived in the same town.. Pictures of Mss Vee and I adorn my refrigerator, and bedroom wall still. We grew together.. and I continue to be inspired.

Life Associates



http://www.limarts.com/candice/sessions/_old/lifeassociates10-10-10.mp3

This song is written for all Life Associates. Again Jack and Anjelica.. It is song written for timeless bonds. Once lover, now great friend Adam.. he and I came up with the term 'Life Associates." Basically saying I'll crack a shovel over anyone's head if they hurt you, and you for me... hehe!! LAF!

22 A Month



http://www.limarts.com/candice/sessions/_old/22amonth8-9-10.mp3

About the justice of a friend... a story of epic proportions. As Warren Zevon sang 'Bring Lawyers Guns and Money.. The shit has hit the fan."

Patti


http://www.limarts.com/candice/sessions/_old/patti8-2-10.mp3

About my number one idol, muse, and inspiration.. Patti Smith. Thank you for your brilliance! She has dedicated her life to legacy by creation, peace by understanding, and a bad ass repertoire of punk, ballads, folk, ect.. I highly recommend reading her book 'Just Kids'... it will inspire you to fill in all that blank space in your gut and in your heart.



For an HBO Media Influence project for Stars (Stars is short for starving artist).

Bee Charmer



http://www.limarts.com/candice/sessions/_old/beecharmer7-29-10.mp3

BeeCharmer; insired by the qoute "Edgie Thurgood you ain't nuthin but a bee charmer." From the movie Fried Green Tomatos after Edgie sticks her bare hand in a bee hive to get a honey comb for her friend. Its a song about reckless abandon, fearlessness, living in the moment, getting and giving what you want.

Eggshells




http://www.limarts.com/candice/sessions/_old/eggshells7-29-10.mp3

Aye!! This song is about people who almost have it all together. Its just that they're lacking one essential quality I require in a person- a decent fackin' attitude. Its basically a song about putting jerkoffs in their place- and it feels really good to perform.
