LIVE REVIEW:
"In live performance, Kimberly Freeman of One-Eyed Doll, combines the rock-star bravado of a Jack White (or Jack Black) with the visual impact of a Japanese Anime... a super heroine that's alternately fierce, outrageous, vulnerable and sweet. What are you waiting for?!"
Marsha Mann, INSITE MAGAZINE

IS PLAYING AT THE LONG CENTRE, 701 W. RIVERSIDE DRIVE, AUSTIN TEXAS WITH HER FULL BAND WITH OTHER WORLD CLASS TALENTED PERFORMERS FROM 7PM TILL 11 PM ON THE SATURDAY 30TH MAY, 2009 ( NEXT TO PLAMEREVENT CENTER)
YOU WILL REGRET MISSING THIS OUTSTANDING SHOW.... SOME OF THE GREATEST FEMALE RISING STARS YOU WILL HER IN THE WORLD..... AT THE 2009 M.A.L.I. WOMEN'S PERFORMANCE AND FILMS ARTS FESTIVAL IN AUSTIN TEXAS..
THIS YEARS THEME IS SUSTAINABILITY
rful tool. A great musician once told Michael, "If you can visualize your fingers playing the song, it is more effective than practicing hours and hours a day." The more we can imagine and visualize, the greater our accomplishments can be. As a visionary, Michael "sees" how she wants to be involved and ways she can connect and grow. The bigger the community you have, the more vision you can create!
As you know, we have been sharing in a greater mission by cultivating a mind state of sustainability, with our sisters in the arts, for the M.A.L.I. Festival. The festival catalyzed opportunities to connect with the Austin community. We've pulled together resources with the artists at GAGA, repurposed materials in a creative way, making our show attire from donations, got the kids involved with the process of being in a creative community, making band merchandise and learning music with Michael.
The GAGA GALA was a special event. Michael contributed her time and creativity to appreciative participants, who brought her vision into reality.. the construction of her performance materials with the talents of her fans.
This Thursday, May 21, South Congress St. Bridge, 7PM - We are having one final public appearance before the MALI Festival. We'll be hanging out together underneath the South Congress Bridge, with the Austin Bat Colony. Yes, real bats! They were kind enough to pose for our band poster. We'll be jamming, selling festival tickets, and painting together on the Creature Community Canvas! Come out and paint at sunset with the band. They might give you some cake.
And tomorrow, tune in to KOOP 91.7FM, at 11am to hear another local artist, Joanna Barbera and the director of the M.A.L.I Festival, P.O.W., do an in-studio interview on "What's a girl to do?"
