Official Last Post of 2009

Here we are at our annual Christmas luncheon at Maggianos (they have great gluten free choices for Lisa) where we had wonderful service and yummy food!

Even as I write the title I am absolutely amazed! What a year Dangerous Curves had this year! A full-scale 90 minute show, numerous appearances at many local venues/casinos and even a show on the East coast! Our debut CD “Girl Talk” went live on Itunes and Amazon MP3 and Napster. Our repertoire has doubled and our sound has found its way to a warm, thrilling, harmonic place that winds and weaves around each song and really puts the “Dangerous Curves” stamp on it.

We have big plans for 2010. We are scheduled for another full-scale show at the Starbright Theatre in Summerlin in May, we are already working on a Christmas CD and just a few things that we are keeping under the curvy radar until they are closer to coming to fruition. The most important thing though, is that we simply want to thank each of you for your love and support! Our families, our husbands, our children and our friends definitely give their time and love and more to help us reach our goals. We could not do this without them and you!

The Curves wish you a very Happy New Year and may all your dreams and wishes come true this coming year and every year!

Second to the last post of the year!!! LOL!

The Curves ended their busiest week ever, in true Curvy style. We are a blessed trio of chicks and we try our best to give back to this community we love so much. Our final Christmas performance was at the fabulous Studio 8 Ten. Studio 8 Ten is a non-profit arts and crafts studio providing paid training and employment for adults with disabilities in Transition Services supported employment programs. Resident artists train in the design, production, and sales of over 50 different handmade products, all unique to our company, and learn the specifics of running their own business. Studio 8 Ten fosters pride, self-sufficiency, and self-esteem by providing positive interaction with the community and opportunities to show off their personal talents. All proceeds from sales in the gift shop go directly back into the program to purchase supplies, upkeep facilities, and pay the individuals for their efforts

It was our pleasure and privilege to support our great friend Angela Esler-Whelan, who runs the studio and who also happens to be VERY pregnant and on bed rest, but got permission to come out to the open house! It was a great success and a fabulous way to end the Curves 2009 Christmas season!

We hope you are enjoying the Holidays, whichever way you celebrate them! And, look to the 2010 Holiday CD from Dangerous Curves! We wish YOU the curviest season ever!

Dangerous Curves Christmas!

What a week the Curves had here in fabulous Las Vegas! On Wednesday, we had the absolute honor of performing at Nellis Air Force Base for the” Officer’s Spouses Club” Annual Holiday Luncheon. What a delightful group they were and very receptive. We are so grateful for our military and how they keep our great country safe!

Thursday, we were invited to sing at the Suncoast Hotel & Casino for “Hit Parade” at their lovely theatre. The hosts for the week were the fabulous Mark Giovi and the gorgeous Robin Berry! Both of these local entertainers are enormously talented and so welcoming. We did our new big band “Jingle Bells” and an a cappella number, “Star of Wonder”. As always, the Suncoast audience is wonderful and loving and we love singing for them!

What a weekend!

This was quite a Sunday for the Curves! First of all, up at the crack of dawn to sing not one, not two, but 3 services for New Song church. It was our first performance of “Star of Wonder” and really what better place to debut such a song but church! And, not just any church, but one that has supported our endeavors totally! And, it went really well. I mean seriously, singing at 8am? Yikes!!! Now, I said this was quite a Sunday and it was…..between services, we rehearsed our second-half-of-the day gig with Dennis and our other debuts of the season, which was the Bing Crosby/Andrews Sisters “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town” and a big band arrangement of “Jingle Bells”.

After the 3rd service, we packed it up and headed down to Flamingo Library Theatre for sound check and the annual Christmas show. This show is really fun, because its a conglomeration of many the performers from the past year. And, we all get to see each other and hear each other perform! A fab time was had by all, especially the audience. And, the big 16 page Jingle Bells we’ve been working on for a month? Well, it went smashingly! Three more Christmas shows to go! Wheeeeeee! Hope you are enjoying the holidays as much as we are! Be sure to check us out at dangerouscurveslasvegas.com or Facebook and follow us on Twitter.

Christmas, Projects and Charity Work

The Curves are rehearsing some gorgeous Christmas music for all our upcoming appearances! We are thrilled to be performing at our favorite Flamingo Library Theatre for their annual Christmas show, which features the performers who have performed this past year. We are thrilled to see who we’ll be singing with! We are doing a fabulous arrangement originally done by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters that our own Lisa is working out for us. My fabulous husband will be singing the Bing part! It’s gonna be so much fun! In addition, we are singing a big band arrangement of Jingle Bells that is not only musically challenging, but a truly exciting piece to sing! We’ll also be performing at Nellis Air Force Base, a special guest appearance at the Sun Coast Casino and downtown Las Vegas for a fantastic charity that supports the less fortunate, Studio 8 Ten!

In addition, we sang the National Anthem and did the 5K (yes, acutally did it!) for the Alliance for Lupus Research, our current charity. We raised over $300!
Don’t forget you can follow us on twitter! You can also follow each curve-Lisa, Gret and Karen. Our fabulous CD is available at itunes! What a perfect gift for the holidays! Curvy blessings to all!

Fun with FRIENDS!

Gosh, it has been a while since I have written. Forgive me Curvy darlings and I promise to make it a fall filled with lots of exciting news! It was a long hot summer of rehearsals and shows and lots of work on our EPK and some well needed personal time!
First of all, we performed in the Den and Stu Show which was spectacular! Tons of great comedy and these boys do nothing but sing, sing, sing! Now, it is true that Den is my husband and Stu is our best friend, but still! There’s no bias-just truth and fact abound here!!! They plan on putting the show up again so stay tuned for more info on this great show.
Much of our rehearsals were taken up with work on our EPK, i.e., Electronic Press Kit. Lisa is our resident Photoshop goddess and thank god for her, because this thing looks awesome! Gret and I would put in our opines and 2 cents and Lisa would create it! It will be up on our webpage soon so take the time to download it and look it over!
And, hey! Please don’t forget to become a fan on our Facebook page, follow us on Twitter and if you wanna keep a smile on your face, download our debut CD “Girl Talk” on iTunes!

My cute hubby with me and Lisa. Swing City Dolls, Connie, Robin and Natalie
Two of us Curves went to check out the Swing City Dolls at the Cannery East, Las Vegas and there was nothing but cutie-pie-licious all around! These girls are adorable with their genre inspired hair and outfits and harmonies. You look at them and you think Andrews Sisters of today, you listen to them and you hear everything from Queen to KT Tunstall back to the Andrews Sisters. Very clever, very fun and we are proud to call them our friends. 🙂

The frontline vocals from Monday night!
The Curves are enjoying a short summer break and met up with friends on Monday night to check out the local band, Santa Fe and the Fat City Horns at the Palms in The Lounge. We were absolutely captivated by this stunning show of outstanding voices, musicians and performances. These guys have the exciting sound of Tower of Power, blended with the contemporary arrangements and vocal harmonies of today. The arrangement of the Beatles song, “Come Together” was positively thrilling! We feel so energized and inspired to work on some of our newest arrangements. Thanks, guys!!! The whole evening was made even more enjoyable by sharing it with some of our nearest and dearest friends, Jen and Todd Vigiletti, producers,Stargazer Productions, out of Orange County, CA and husbands all around. By the way, we are so proud that Gret’s husband, Michael, is a regular in the band! All in all, a perfect evening of stellar music and the ones we love! How could a hot summer night get any better?! Don’t forget to check out our page on facebook and become a fan! We’d love to hear from you!

>June Blooms With Curves and Hot Summer Nights

>

The Curves had a fantastic time as the Guest Artists for the Hot Summerlin Nights Guest Artist Series in Summerlin. The host of this event was Grace In the Desert and a great time was had by all, especially us!

The venue was lovely, with big open windows that allowed the sun to shine through and really bring a heavenly feel to the room. Talk about earthly inspiration!

This was a unique show for us as we had no band and only our tracks. In these economic times, we are learning to be extremely resourceful. While our preference, goal and desire is to have live music at all times, the fact of the matter is that in order to bring our music to as many people as possible, we have to remain open minded. It certainly does make us stay on our toes! Stay tuned for the release date (FINALLY) of our CD! And, do your best to stay cool and curvy in these hot summer months.

April Comes and Goes! What??!!!

I can’t believe it’s almost May!  This month flew by and really it’s no wonder. The Curves were beyond busy this month and a fabulous month we had!  I was trying to wait for the video to be finished ( editing, that is) and my husband is working like crazy on it-but it just takes time.  So, instead of waiting to write about our show, I will simply carry on and then post more at a later date.

We wrote and produced what is, without a doubt, our best show to date. We added new songs, had dresses made and made our first (real) lighting chart.  It was very exciting and a real success. Some of our new material included Jason Robert Brown‘s “Hear My Song”, Scott Alan’s “Let Love Begin” and even a comedy song, “Girl in 14G”!  Who knew the Curves can sing-dance and be funny!  I am so thrilled with our hard work and it is really paying off.  We are feeling some real momentum with our soon-to-be commercially released CD (just finishing up the licensing), new costumes and video.  

In addition, this weekend, we had the privilege of singing for some our country’s heros at the Veteran’s Home in Boulder City.  What a sweet and loving crowd!  These are the men and women who fought for our freedom and as they sang along with us to God Bless America, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.  It really makes you feel blessed to live in the United States and proud to be an American.  Pictured with us is the lovely Angela, who booked us for this job!  Thanks, Angela for the great food and treats!

Have a very curvalicious week and enjoy this beautiful weather-it seems to be from coast to coast gorgeous!
