Update: July 27, 2007 Connie Kis Andersen G'day
from W.A! I hope that this update finds you all well and
happy … winter here in Western Australia has been fraught with ‘flu and colds
for my family but fortunately they are not the sort of bugs that can be
transmitted via e-mail! Wanted to write and let those friends who have
been making noises about coming down to see us at the Kardy that our three
and a half year residency is coming to an end this Saturday July 28. Brad and I have enjoyed our time there immensely
and would sincerely like to thank Con, George and the staff for the pleasure
– it has been a great experience! That’s not to say we won’t be back at the Kardinya
soon … we are already booked for September 29 and have been invited back for
a couple of spots in October, which I am afraid we are unable to do. Reason being? I am heading back to the USA on October
1st until early November. A radio
promotion tour in support of my US radio release; Wicked Game is being
organized for me by Nashville based, Airplay Specialists. The track is doing very well there … at last
count there were over 64 stations
in the US (that I am aware of) playing it - some as many as 37 spins a week! Fingers crossed that the response to it
will be exponential. While in Nashville I will be taking part in a
NSAI songwriting workshop with the masters and look forward to that very
much. Now add a few gigs to the trip (some to be
confirmed … others confirmed but the actual dates to be tidied up) and I suspect
that I will have little time to be homesick!
As the gig dates become ‘concrete’ and more information falls into
place, I will let you know with an updated gig guide. In other news, we finished the video for Wicked
Game just over a week ago. The
clip was directed by Derek Hobbs, who is known around Perth for filming
Nitenews, documentaries and the recent independent film, The Bouncer starring John Waters.
For those interested in a special pre-view of it,
a link to the webcast version is posted here for you …. just CLICK HERE I have had quite a few wide-ranging comments about
and reactions to the clip from industry folk … so feel free to let me know
what you think as well. Given the positive interest the track has received
in the US, I have decided to release Wicked
Game in Australia as well. It will
be out to radio here on August 13, so if you feel inclined, do contact your
local country music station and request it! And so … In support of the new release, I head
over to Sydney for a few shows again in September. I look forward to that trip very much … With the help of RUM Entertainment,
the new album, ONCE AGAIN continues
to get some wonderful attention through radio and print media and so my
sincerest thanks go to those who have been supporting the album and the first single from it; Mere
Male which is still climbing the Top 100 Country Hits Charts. Please know that I am finding it increasingly
difficult to get around personally and thank all of you for your support but I
would like to express my sincerest appreciation to everyone as always. That’s my update for now and so until next time, stay well, be happy and make (or listen to) great music! Warmest wishes from Connie Kis www.myspace.com/conniekisandersen PS: Couldn’t help but include the happy snap
below … with Tom Pick and some of his awards.
Tom produced both Gone Wishin’ and Once
Again.
