We call it FunkyPopSexyHouseRap...give us a ride sometime! It's supah fun, no nonsense, dance like crazy, no worries, rock-it music...What does it sound like?"The B-52s on a gallon of espresso!" Tony Kiss, Asheville Citizen Times

First CD ever purchased…

Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians- Shooting Rubberbands at the Stars

How did you become interested in becoming an artist?
I don’t think of myself as an “artist.” I feel like I was just born to be me, up front with 13 Stories, workin’ it, writin’ it and wailin’ it. When I hear the word “artist” I think of painters, photographers, sculptors and well, Prince.

What do you like best about being in a band?

I could answer this a thousand times…but the first few things that come to mind…1. Traveling to different cities and getting to rock 13 Stories songs. 2. The outrageousness, sexiness and comfort of the clothes and accessories that I get to wear. 3. Laughing loudly and often with Cat. 4. Feeling like I am exactly where I need to be and doing exactly what I am supposed to be doing.

Fill in the blank: I can't make it through the day without: singing .

Best advice you ever received?

Do you believe in psychics? Why or why not?

Yes, because I have an electronic fortune cookie that can accurately predict what the 13 Stories crowd will be like at each and every gig. ; p

What's the best concert you've been to and why?

I can’t decide between two:

Kiss, in my home town, Detroit Rock City …it was absolutely mind-blowing in so many ways.

The Indigo Girls with Atlanta Ballet…unbelievably moving and wonderful.

Tell us what CDs we would find on your car or home CD player right now?

Mindy Smith-One Moment More

Three things you would like to have if stranded on an island:

Lotion, scrabble and an ipod (and I would sneak a chapstick, too!)

What are your hobbies?

Music:

Well, I gotta tell ya...I really like 13 Stories' songs...it's just so damn fun, ya know!? You would never know it, by what 1-3 has got going but, I have a thing for chick singers, specifically folk music. I dig some old school pop, too...I guess my favorites are Lucinda Williams (have you heard the new one, WEST? Wow!), Mindy Smith, Tori Amos, Patti Griffin, Pat Benetar, Blondie, Shakira, Stevie Nicks, Indigo Girls, Aretha Franklin, Nikka Costa and Teri Nunn. I am currently listening to a bit of Cibo Matto, Neko Case, and Sarah Harmer. I la, la, LA Kid Rock and the Killers. I also can't get enough of good music in Spanish. Right now, I can't stop listening to Death Cab For Cutie...I love those lyrics! Feel free to let me know what you think I would like...turn me on to it!

Movies:

Anything with Saturday Night Live comics in it and anything intended to be scary...
