DAY 90--a message from UHH

Well it's been 3 months of writing and we hit a wall today. We had to go out in the parking lot and play nerf football to let off some steam. The band next door started playing when they were on their cigarette break (smoking kills) and threw our ball up on the roof. It's down now. Our studio is super cute. We've been having a great time in here. Our dreams finally came true and we've been able to write together in the same room for more than 4 days at a time. Cam keeps the air conditioner at some artic setting and I have to bring layers of clothing to get through the day. She is also on some sort of cleanse so she's a real joy to be around. We have two death metal bands on either side of us as well so we have to get most of our work done before they arrive. We tried to record vocals one night when they were practicing but it sounded like someone was being tortured to death in the background. Even with crazy obstacles like these we can still get a song written, thats how deep our talent runs. We miss you terribly and promise to be more attentive to your needs. I think we're at the point where we can come out of our little hidy hole and let you know what we're up to. big kiss, UHH

GREY TO COLOR

It's slow season and UHH are on a much needed hiatus. I hope they are working on some new material for their next album. I've never seen these photos before, but their pretty cool. On another disturbing note: {Rihanna's bruised photos have been released. I posted the graphic pic on Da Net under media scandals. I posted it for a reason, to bring awareness that their are thousands of young girls out there Rihannas age and younger who are abused by their boyfriends daily-it's becoming almost an epidemic amongst our young ppl and it has to stop. Rihanna is young-she can come out of this easily--but there are soo many young women who are not soo lucky. Chris Brown needs to atone for his actions. He really has to redeem himself on the malicious act he inflicted one of my favorite artists...March 5th is his court date. Rihanna will break her silence once the legal proceedings are over...but she needs to heal from this....take all the time you need babygirl--we'll be waiting.}

CAMILA GREY OUT & ABOUT

Well everyone is on a little vacation right now and having fun being at home. Cam is chillin' at a party with many friends and acquaintances---I wonder where is Clea? Usually when you see Cam, Clea is not too far behind. Maybe she had to work or something. I grabbed these great photos of Cam just enjoying life.

HEY--IS THAT ONE OF THE GIRLS FROM TEGAN & SARA?

FAREWELL TO NETTWERK

Cam and Leisha are no longer with Nettwerk Music--so now the hunt begins for another record label to sign with. One problem....the girls have to have at least 70% autonomy of their record sales and royalties. That isn't easy to find. Read Cams post for more on the split from Nettwerk. Parting Ways

TANDUM MAGAZINE

Leisha doesn't think the Spinoff, (called The Farm) is going to fly with Showtime. Sho will air the pilot on their network in January, but who knows if it will be picked up. From what I have read on The L Word Online--it doesn't appear promising--but they thought the same thing about The L Word...and now we're going on 6yrs of success with the show. It won't matter to me either way, anything involving Leisha Hailey will have my full support. Check out the interview with UHH in Tandum Magazine as the girls explain their makeshift teepee to Leisha's hectic L Word schedule.

UHH IN LONDON

These are nice photos of the girls taken by Ashleigh from the discussion boards. The girls really love London and actually consider London one of their favorite places to visit. I don't know the European schedule for 09', but rest assure I'll make one of them.
Anyone care to join me? For more info on the UHH 09 Tour continued, please check their myspace page....UHH Myspace for more info or as always-check da blog. Well I'm off to China and I won't see you guys till Friday. Kaye is gonna hold it down 1x for a sista (as she always does). Love ya like a fat kid loves cake (NOW THAT'S A LOT OF LOVE)!!!....HOLLA!!! :)

P.S. (Is there anyone else having problems signing on to the Net?) Kaye can you help them out please...I'll be outta town.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAM!!!

It's been almost two years since this dark haired bassist joined our beloved L Word star to form the electro-pop phenomenon Uh Huh Her. Now she's transitioning from a struggling musician in her 20's--to a guitar wielding rocker woman in her 30's. I know Leisha, Nina, Clea, Kate, and Rose are gonna do her up right for her big three O. Here's wishing Cam the best in 09' and continued success throughout her career....WE LOVE U O MIGHTY DARK ONE!!!

UHH WEBSITE BY GREEN

Hey guys lets show our support for a very special person who has supported our blog faithfully and is a wiz at just about anything technical. Green has started an UHH website in honor of our girls. It's still in the baby stages, but like all newborns-it will grow. So let's show her some love and check it out.

UHH ON DA WEB

ALICIA WARRINGTON

Alicia Warrington I heard was a badass drummer that made up the trio of Uh Huh Her. As Leisha explains it, the [Her] in Uh Huh Her was synonymous to the group as a whole. It's an estrogenous band....At least they tried to keep it that way. But Alicia Warrington for whatever reason had to leave the group suddenly. But it's apparent that she is missed. By looking at the pics above, the threesome were close knit and very good friends. We don't hear about Alicia as much anymore since she left, which makes me wonder what the reason was for her departing the group in the first place. At any rate, I would have loved to meet this fantastic drummer...there's something about a woman with sticks that turns me on. If anyone has any idea on why Alicia left please share. Next time I speak with Leisha, I'll ask her about the original badass drummer of Uh Huh Her....Alicia Warrington.

THE MAGAZINE IS OUT!!!

THIS IS WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN HOUNDING ME ABOUT!!!!

MY INTERVIEW WITH LEISHA!!!

A lot of the interview was edited, but I think I posted the edited parts for you guys already a while back.

Leisha Hailey is a walking array of eclectic talent: musician, singer, actress, songwriter, painter, and so much more. Even other artists have taken notice of her seemingly omni-presence. A few days before our interview with the quirky star of Showtime's lesbian themed drama series, The L Word, she was wrapping up the filming of its sixth and final season in Vancouver. Her character, Alice Pieszecki, is the animated nucleus of the shows core cast of women. The show has a huge cult following and, off camera, Hailey remains in tune with her character. She is also half of the electro-pop duo, Uh Huh Her, a band whose video has been featured on Kanye West's blog. "Yeah, we- ]UST heard that and I saw it. I was so honored and I don't have any idea how that happened." She laughs. "That was really very exciting for us." Although Hailey is familiar with West's music, she admits she only listens to it if it's on the radio. There is one hip hop artist in particular she would like to work with. "Missy Elliot is one of our favorites," says Hailey. "She's one of the people we would love to collaborate with. Cam has a really big background in that whole world." Hailey speaks adoringly of Camila Grey, [her dark haired other half of Uh Huh Her] often hailed "the mysterious one.'' Camila has worked with some big name hip hop artists, such as Busta Rhymes and Dr. Dre. Their album Common Reaction is practically screaming GRAMMY; it has become a favorite with a legion of fans across the globe. Call it divine intervention that Leisha Hailey and Camila Grey came together effortlessly and managed to produce it in a such a narrow space of time. "It wasn't rushed in the sense that we felt we would put anything out that we weren't proud of," says Hailey. Instead their focus was on doing it professionally and doing it better and cleaner while getting a really good sound." I asked Leisha, with the success of this debut, if she has thought about their sophomore project. "We've actually continued writing. Our focus right now is to promote and tour this record," says Hailey, "but we definitely have new material already. We're still going!" She has gained a musical following with UHH and the prior 90's alternative rock group, The Murmurs.

At 37, Life after The L Word holds no boundaries. Leisha is at the prime of her career. So how does she feel about this last curtain call? "We're all ready to move on, but there is sadness because you're coming to a close and you're not going to see these people everyday; we've all become a family. As cliche' as that sounds, it really does happen, and it's bittersweet. I think it's all hitting us right now; there's only about three weeks left," comments Hailey. Hailey has her career under control. Some even think she's a workaholic, but don't tell her that. Hailey admits, "I have called myself that before, but I feel it has a negative spin to it. I don't know, I'm doing two things that I absolutely enjoy doing. When it come to work, I don't feel resentful or tired because I really enjoy it."
The execs at Showtime want to keep the shows momentum going. They have signed Leisha Hailey to do a spin-off to which she will be the focal character. It is rumored that it will pick up right where The L Word left off, but who knows? I asked Leisha about the much anticipated follow-up, but she remains tight-lipped about it. "Oh I can tell you, I'm not allowed to say," she says shyly. She did divulge that filming for the pilot will begin in December.

With every opportunity that falls at her feet, it's a wonder how she fits in a personal life. Leisha guards her relationship with longtime girlfriend and fashion designer Nina Garduno. She's reluctant to discuss her private life. She yearns to be home more often and it's apparent as her voice softens. "I was just telling someone that it's my home life that I miss, my personal life that I need to prioritize more. That's really what's hard, is that you're not home as much as you would like to be," admits Hailey.
As the year comes to a close, there's no doubt that Leisha Hailey will dive head first into the ocean of opportunities waiting for her. With a hit cable series, a rising musical career, and an impending spin-off in the works, it's safe to say that she wouldn't demand anything but to be happy. "So far everything that I've done, I've done with people I really enjoy working with. I have made a lot of fantastic friends."

AGAIN I WANT TO THANK VIKKI FOR BEING AHEAD OF THE GAME. THESE MAY BE RECENT-NOTICE LEISHA'S HAIR IS BRUNETTE ONCE AGAIN. :)

A very belated thank you from our girls: -Hellooo Lovelies. We're writing to tell everyone thank you so much for coming out and supporting us on the road. We had such an amazing tour, and thanks to all of you we had a very successful one. We couldn't have done it without you! So muchas gracias, merci,ありがとう, Grazie, Danke, Obrigado and all the other ways to say thank you. We really do. As for right now, we're writing material for records and Ep's to come at our new studio "Funworld". We named our tourbus "funworld" so we thought we'd follow suit with our new studio. It's like an alternate universe, and we dig it. We might even make an acoustic record because we hear you guys like those kinds of things? We're always listening...so watch out! We wish all of you happy holidays(daze) and see you in the new year. KISSES/UHH-

Leisha and her TeePee...hmmmmmm

Alice Clark talks with the girls.....about teepees?

"The creativity isn’t just in the music; the band is also creative when it comes to building things to be creative in.
“There’s a story behind pre-production, where Leisha, who’s really creative, said” – Grey puts on a nasal, high-pitched voice – “‘Cam! Let’s…’ I’m sorry, I always make the high voice when I talk as her. She’s like, ‘We need to make a vocal booth to work in, to cut all the vocals.’ I always cut everything before we take it to the producer, just to get ideas down. And Leisha ended up building a tepee! This really bizarre tepee that was really hard to get in and out of, so once I was in I couldn’t leave. I had to have a telephone in there and a drink and some food, just because I never got out. And Al Clay, the guy that actually produced the record, came over and he saw our set up. He said, ‘I’m sorry girls, you’re not going to do vocals in a tepee.’
“He totally shut down our tepee idea and we had to go into a real studio and cut all the vocals. We were really bummed out. But you should’ve seen that thing, it was pretty rad.”

I'm sorry Al Clay didn't like the teepee idea...I totally would have made it work..lolol
