Well hey...someone had to do it.
Might as well have been me. :D
The Wreckers is the band featuring Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp. I have a feeling it will be very cool.
Discuss.
-
you are weird
end of discussion
-
eh, i'm not too excited about it. i'll have to hear their crap. i'm pissed off with the whole MBMB closing, etc.
:?
I am JiLLiAn AiMee on MBMB.
-
It's gonna suck
-
I'm not looking forward to it at all.
Scratch that.
I'm looking forward to Lay Me Down.
The end.
-
Im looking forward to it :D
Hmm who is Jessica Harp though? I will go and google her now.
-
She's Meech's best friend.
-
Im looking foward for whatever this is.
-
way to be positive and supportive, guys!
geez, you haven't even HEARD one song yet (and "good kind" live doesn't even count).
i bet people will go back to the new boards when they're up--even the people who are pissed off now. and i bet those same people are going to go to the shows and buy the record and maybe even like it.
i'd bet money...lots of it.... on it.

Hey! I was supportive! ;)
-
Just because I'm not looking forward to The Wreckers doesn't mean I'm not a Michelle Branch fan.
She's adding another person and straying away from her old musical style.
What if Vanessa and Stephan Jenkins dropped their own careers and started writing and performing country songs together???
Uh-huh.
And I haven't heard anything except The Good Kind, and regardless of if it counts I didn't like it that much... However, when this all goes down I might possibly love the whole album. I don't know yet. But as of right now, I'm not a Wreckers cheerleader.
-
Tricia I wasn't talking about you silly :P
Listen, of course you don't have to support everything that Michelle does. All I'm saying is that it'd be nice if people would give it a chance before they knock it or say they aren't looking forward to it. There's a lot of negativity on other boards especially and I don't understand it. If you are a supporter of someone, imho, you respect what they want to do with *their* career. I know that Michelle was totally burnt out and unhappy. The Wreckers idea has rejunvinated her and she is excited about music again. There is no doubt in my mind that had this band not started she may have quit music completely for awhile...
And their songs are definitely not country... just in case anyone thinks that...
-
Well you've also got to keep in mind that you've been priviledged enough to hear their stuff. Or at least hear elaborate descriptions of it.
And I have supported Michelle with all the things she's done; I never said anything about her marriage to Teddy, I thought it was awesome that she was on Maxim because she wanted to be, and she looked great. I love her music, I want her to be happy. But that doesn't mean I have to be looking forward to the Wreckers! And like I said before, maybe I WILL like their stuff. You say I can't base them on the Good Kind, but that happens to be all I've heard out of them.
-
Actually although I'm sure I will hear the record as soon as they're done w/ it, I haven't heard anything yet. I just support both Jess and Michelle and know that if they're confident in what they're doing it and are having fun doing it, then I'm going to support it. If the music sucks after I hear it, then I won't listen ;)
-
Tricia I wasn't talking about you silly :P
You should talk about me. I'm fairly interesting. MWAHAHAHAHAHA
-

Fairly being the operative word in that sentence :lol:
-
If I didn't like you so much (and you didn't live so far away), I'd threaten to kick your ass.
jk of course
<3
-
I'm so excited for this to happen. When is this going to happen? I'm so impatient :wink: I have to say I'm a little relieved to hear it's not country because that's the impression I got. I bet it's gonna be like folk/rock/punk.
-
Better be soon...they're killing me with the wait! :D
-
I definitely wouldn't say punk....
Looks like early next year.
There is a song on there (NOT "lay me down") that is just......... A M A Z I N G and that's all I can say.
It's just going to rock.

Lay Me Down will be there, though, right?
-
haven't seen the final tracklist but i'm pretty sure they wanted to record "lay me down" -- i know it's a favorite of jessica's for sure.
-
It's a rock song!!! Right? Well, at least it sounds that way to me. 8)

Good because just 55 seconds of it are enough to make me crazy about it.
-
Havent heard of this befor................
Do they have a site?? I cant find it..........
-
Weiser...you're such a tease.
-
I know I'm a tease ;)
Their website is not up yet.
-
The new boards are up.
-
http://www.thewreckers.org
more stuff is coming soon ;)
-
I just got into Jessica, VERY talented voice she has!! I know her and Michelle will do very well!!!
-
The new boards are up.
That they are...and they kinda piss me off.......
-
You go there to? aren't they bad, damn there turning that place into MBMB AGAIN im sorry but i doubt i'll be going there much this time around.
-
Well, my thing is, yes, I am a fan of Michelle and Jess, but OMG I can not STAND all of the asskissing. It makes me want to hurl.
I hate to inform you, but everything celebrities do isn't great. *puke*
I've already noticed a bit of moderator double standard type stuff going on too, but we'll see if they're just a bit slow at modding, or if it's really a double standard.
I also don't see the harm in a general forum, but I guess Michelle and Jess don't want one, so there won't be one.
Whatever...all I know is that my head starts hurting when I think about it.
-
Oh my Lord I totally agree, Tricia.
Not having a general topic section is going to send that board to hell.
And the whole, this is Michelle's board, she can put whatever sections she wants on it bullshit really makes me angry. People aren't going to want to always talk about her and the Wreckers... She's also going to have to learn that she will be criticized.
I've got 20 posts there and I already want to throw my computer across the room.
-
I don't care what they do, but yeah i think you have to put some kind of all topic thread, i mean its not going stop people from talking about Jessica or Michelle. What its going to do is make people spam on the Michelle and Jessica board with mindless crap that doesn't need to be there. Once again its going back to everyone fighting like they did with the MBMB :roll:
Either way i go for the music not the drama bull.
-
Either way i go for the music not the drama bull.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
It'll be ok Natalie...at least we have each other! :D
-
lol at least... :D
-
:lol:
-
Well, my thing is, yes, I am a fan of Michelle and Jess, but OMG I can not STAND all of the asskissing. It makes me want to hurl.
LOL! Gee wonder who you're referring to. hhaa.
I don't mind the boards at all, but I'm not going to be there all that often cause I just am too busy and am usually on Jessica's mb anyway. A lot of people there annoy the shit out of me. And from what I understand Michelle and Jess did not want a general forum. If that's what they want, then I think people should respect that. Yeah people will be unhappy, but... not much we can do. I think that the boards will be way more interesting in 3-4 months when there is a lot more to talk about.
I dunno, though...
jessica, should be working.....
-
I don't care about General, I never posted there on the MBMB. I just think the mods are going to have a lot more work because there isn't one.
Out of curiosity, why did MB's site get shut down but not Harp's?
-
LOL! Gee wonder who you're referring to. hhaa.
:X ;)
-
Out of curiosity, why did MB's site get shut down but not Harp's?
You mean her web site or board?
-
Prolly because Jess Harp's site/board has the best webmistress ever...
MWAH
-
It depends. MBMB didn't have a mod that did there job RIGHT. They sat back while that place went to hell. Jessica's board probably had more stable enviroment!!
-
I LOVE the drama :wink:
-
oh man...I'm SUPER excited because I'm going to the Sac show on 3/7 and the SF show on 3/8.
I'm always up for giving new things a listen, and I think I'll like it. ;)
Anyone else going to any of the shows?
-
My friends, & I are gonna go to the LA show on March 9th. Can't wait.
-
I like The Good Kind. I cant decipher between Jess and Michelle :oops:
-
Well I got tickets today... floor level. If we get there early enough we're gonna try to get right infront of the stage.
-
Branchy's sprogged up bwahaha
-
Branchy's sprogged up bwahaha
ROFLMAO
Funniest slang ever.
-
Do they have a proper cd out yet?
Ive heard only one song of theirs and I really love it so I was just wondering 8)
-
nope not til like june or july
-
Aww ok thank you for that =)

I also have a feeling it will be very cool :razz:
-
I think they're great, i've always thought michelle branch was cool and I was right!
-
I'm loving all the live mp3s I've heard so far. Michelle and Jess are both fantabulous in their own right... so together it's amazing lol. I just have a feeling the album won't get released in the UK, it'll be an import jobby.
-
Wow I hate their forum.
-

For effeing real!!
The Wreckers kick ass.
I didn't think I'd like it at all.
But shiza
Every time I hear The Good Kind
(you can buy it on iTunes)
I cry.
Jessica Harp has AN AMAZING VOICE.
If you want any of her music,
Feel free to email me at morningsting3@yahoo.com,
Or send me a private message or something,
And I'll send you some of her stuff.
Don't be so quick to judge!!
-
Wow I hate their forum.
So do I.
Which is why I don't post there anymore.
And it's not cause of my fallout with Sam.
Honest.
-
What's wrong with their forum? I've never been on it... :?:
-
They have A LOT of rude ass people there.
It's quite unnecessary,
And frankly,
I was sick of people b!tching at me all the time for my opinion!!
I mean,
It's got a nice layout and all,
It's just some of the people there aren't the greatest...
-
Michelle Branch & Jessica Harp ''The Wreckers'' will perform I'm Feelin' you
with the legendary Carlos Santana this FRIDAY 10/28 on CBS Early Show !!
I'm Feelin you is the first song off All That I Am, which will be
in-stores November 1st.
Michelle was on one of those late night shows last night with Carlos. It was past my bedtime so I missed it. Was Jessica not there or did they just not use her name?
-
Ugh. They never send those newsletters out in time! I got mine this morning when I was at work--too late. :(
-
There is a video message from Jess and Michelle on Myspace. Michelle says the first single is going to be "Leave the Pieces" and Jess confirms that the album is coming out in May.
They said the single is going to be released through country radio. To me, "Leave the Pieces" is the most Michelle sounding song on the album (or at least that's what it sounded like live). So I guess it makes sense that that's the first single. It's probably the most marketable song, and not that "Leave the Pieces" is bad, because it's not, but I wouldn't have even rated it in the top half of the songs they played in Chicago.
I think they are really going to catch on and do well in the country market and this is going to be the perfect platform for Jess to jump off of into her first big label solo album.
The only thing I worry about is what will happen if the country audience gets wind of Michelle's political views for some reason. They don't seem to react to kindly to liberals in their genre *cough*Dixie Chicks*cough*.
-
i don't care for leave the pieces.
but whatever i'm still excited :mrgreen:
-
"Leave the Pieces" is the most Michelle sounding song on the album (or at least that's what it sounded like live).
:lol: Yep, it's so Michelle-sounding that the label strongly encouraged them not only to put the song onto their album but to use it as their debut single in lieu of their own material. :wink:
-
Where can I hear Wreckers' music?
-
Where can I hear Wreckers' music?
Even though their album has been done for a long time now, Maverick shelved it because they didn't want Michelle doing promo when she was pregnant. Not because they were concerned for her health-wise, but because they didn't want that "image" of her during the promo.
Therefore, the only way you can hear them is by getting a hold of someone's bootleg from a short tour they did almost a year ago.
I have a copy of the show they did in Chicago (not the greatest fidelity, but not the worst either) that I got from TWMB, but that place is shut down now.
I'd be happy to share it with you, but I've never done that before and you'd have to explain how I would go about getting it to you.
-
Wonderful! :D I'll send you a PM when I get back from lunch and we'll discuss the details.

No problem. I'm not exactly a whiz on the computer, but I'm also not completely lacking of technilogical know-how, so I should be able to help you.
:)
-
Not because they were concerned for her health-wise, but because they didn't want that "image" of her during the promo.
How do you know it wasn't for concern for her health? If she were to miscarriage because of the stress of promoting the album, that wouldn't be good for anyone. And given that there may be a genetic predisposition involved with premature births, it'd be best to error on the side of caution in Michelle's case. Michelle herself acknowledged that she couldn't fly during her third trimester. She expressed unhappiness touring during March because of the discomfort the pregnancy caused. So in light of all this, I'd like to know just when and how this album was supposed to be promoted?

I'm just going by what Michelle said.
Direct quote from Michelle on TWMB: "The record wasn't released because Maverick didn't want me promoting an album pregnant. they thought it would look bad to my young fans...bull.”
I guess she could be an outright lier but, knowing how greedy and cuthroat the music industry can be, I choose to believe her.
I agree with you that her health could and should have been a concern but, according to Michelle, this wasn't Maverick's main reasoning.
-

There is a difference between drawing your own conclusion and lying. We don't know they actually said something like that to Michelle. And even if they did, it doesn't mean they weren't concerned for her health as your statement implied. I'm not defending Maverick. They've made mistakes, but I don't think they're that callous.
-

I do.
And, unfortuantely, I bet they're even more callous than my cynical ass thinks.
-
There is a difference between drawing your own conclusion and lying.
Michelle's pregnancy and the release of her next album are pretty much as important as it gets for her. I would think she had plenty of dialogue with Maverick on these issues and wasn't simply drawing her own conclusion. Granted, that's just speculation on my part, but it wouldn't make sense that she wouldn't be VERY involved in the communications regarding these topics.
-
You don't seem to be conceding the fact that she never said that they weren't concerned for her health.
All she was doing was venting in anger in that post and maybe getting some things off her chest. I'm not sure how much of it you should treat as gospel.

This is all very true but, like I said, I'm cynical by nature. Also, if record labels had any compassion for their artists as people instead of just viewing them as cash registers, the music industry would be completely different.
Your view on this is less biased and perhaps even more rational than mine but, as Vanessa would say, I've seen how the Vampires on these record labels eat the Unicorn artists, and that is what has led to my fairly radical cynicism regarding topics like this.
-
Jessica Harp has an album coming soon. I'll probably look into that.
I'm very excited about The Wreckers.
-
Sorry, but Jessica's album won't be out for a long time. She delayed recording and is concentrating on Wreckers material at the moment. On the message board at jessicaharp.net we have four new live tracks, though.
Also The Wreckers single "Leave the Peices" is up on iTunes as of today. Check it out!

Whoa, this is a total shock to me! 8O What was she doing during the later months while Michelle was with child?

From Rolling Stone:
>Over a late-night chili dog at a Grammy after-party in Los Angeles, singer-songwriter Michelle Branch told Rolling Stone about the Wreckers' forthcoming debut, Stand Still, Look Pretty, due in May. "It's a country record," she said of her album with fellow Wrecker Jessica Harp. The first single, "Leave the Pieces," will hit radio soon. "We just shot the video. It was really fun."
The duo will be hitting the road for a promotional tour this Sunday in Nashville -- with Branch and bassist Teddy Landau's six-month-old daughter, Owen Isabel, in tow. Said Branch, "We're doing it all by bus since we can't fly with [Owen]."
The twenty-two-year-old's last release was 2003's Hotel Paper, which peaked at Number Two on the chart.
As for the chili dog, which came from famed L.A. institution Pink's, Branch figured it was all or nothing. "I've been on a diet," she said, "and if I'm going for it, I gotta go for it."
>
If she wants to feel more thin without sacrificing good food she should come up here to Wisconsin. She could eat ten chili dogs a day and she'd still be considered skinny compared to most of the girls up here!! :lol:
jk :lol:

Jess announced that the release date for SSLP got moved up to May 23!

-
They are coming to Indianapolis on 4/2 to play a free concert downtown. Details on that and their new video will be up tomorrow on jessicaharp.net!
-
oh crap...now I have to buy 2 albums on 5/23 and they're both country.
What's this world coming to?
o_O
Love you Weiser

I think I am still partially in denial that I like some country music.
-
I can't wait for the Wreckers album, also really looking forward to hearing Jess's new album!
Really hope they get their butts to the UK to showcase the album!!! If not I will be paying good money to fly Stateside to see them that's for sure :D

I LOVE THE WRECKERS.

I am definitely excited about the Wreckers stuff :D.

Loving the album version of Lay Me DOwn :D

Has LEAVE THE PIECES entered the Billboard charts yet?????

Leave The Pieces is at 32 on the Billboard Chart this week.
And for those of you who want to preview the entire album you can here:
http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/wreckers2/1238357/album.jhtml
Just make sure your firewall doesn't try to deny you from listening to it like mine did! :evil: :spank:
-
I loved each and every song in the album! I was afraid it would be overproduced, but it is just perfect. I loved how some songs are very stripped down
-
Will someone please define "overproduced" for me? What exactly makes a song "overproduced"?
-
Will someone please define "overproduced" for me? What exactly makes a song "overproduced"?
like most things you hear on the radio, too much done to the song (in terms of arrangements,style,etc...) to the point it looses its singer/songwriter rawness.do you know what I mean?
-
The album is pretty good. I like most of the tracks. I never would have known they were a country group from their name. OMFG! I was thinking the songs sounded very Michelle Branch not having read the first pages of the thread and just discovered she was in the group. LMAO
-
Apparently, there's a version of the album with a bonus dvd that comes out for like 19 bucks.
I think I might get that! :)
-
i haven't listened. i'm not going to until may 23rd.
-
Does anyone know how long the DVD is? Hmmmm...
-
I'm trying to resist listening, but know I'll have to wait about 3 weeks for amazon to deliver so am tempted.
To listen, or not to listen!.... that! is the question.
-
They cover Patty Griffin's "One More Girl," and, while I will always like Patty's version better, that's fuckin sweet.
-
i haven't listened. i'm not going to until may 23rd.
i almost gave in last night. i was about to click play and natalie miraculously called me and stopped me. lol.

-
yay go you!
I'm obviously not very self disciplined as promised myself I wouldn't, but have listened to it a good few times now.
Enjoy the album! I gotta wait until approx June 29 for amazon to deliver mine and that so isn't good enough lol

i am SO excited now :D

The Wreckers will be performing on Leno tonight for anyone interested. :)

I just saw a commercial for Leno and they didn't even mention them.
Very excited to see that they are going to be on The View on the 31st.

Is no one gonna say anything about the album?!?!
It's great. But we knew that already, I guess. :lol:
-
^except for the song Rain, I love everything(which I feel guilty about, since Meech wrote that song by herself). Way back home is my favorite.
I think they were a little nervous on Leno. But I loved listening to LTP live.Thanx steve!
-
omg.. rain is amazing! except for the 'sun comes out' bridge part. i hate HOW they did that..
the rest of the album is really good. i listened 3 times yesterday, but i shouldn't have, because i was in a bad mood. i'll listen again on my way home..hopefully i'll be in a better mood. lol.

I LOVE "Rain" too! My initial favorites are "Cigarettes," "Lay Me Down," & "Stand Still, Look Pretty." I dunno, the whole thing is great!
And, although I'm still not a big fan of "Crazy People," "My Oh My" has totally won me over, despite the fact that it's SO country. (I'm just not usually a country lover.)
Does anyone know what "Hard To Love You" is about?
-
I too wasn't crazy about Rain and My, Oh My. I really like Crazy People. My favorites are The Good Kind, SSLP, Lay Me Down, and Leave the Pieces
-
faves are Rain, Crazy People, My Oh My.
-
Sometimes I really don't think I should be a blue state-er (but then again maybe I'm where I'm supposed to be.) My, Oh My may be my favorite; I also like Stand Still, Look Pretty, and Crazy People.
I know it's SUPPOSED to be crossover but I wish some had crossed a little closer to country. That said, I like it better than Michelle's solo stuff.
:)
-
my favourite are: Tennessee, Hard to Love You, Crazy People, Cigarettes :)
-
I really hope someone else here captured them last night on the Late Late Show because my cable went black for 10 seconds during the song. If nobody else did I can upload what I was able to get but it will have a missing gap.
-
I ordered the cd/dvd edition and I should get it in about 10 days!
I wonder what's on the dvd though...

Plus you get an acoustic version of Tennessee on the CD :D.

Hey guys,
We get a lot of media and stuff on Harp's board, so check that out if you're interested. They have quite a few media appearances coming up!

^thx, I'll check it out :)
I should really post sometime there, I've registered a million times and always end up forgeting my login and never posting on the boards. :oops:
-
Here's the appearance on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson although my cable went out halfway during the song. It has a fun interview.

-
thank you!!! :D They seemed a lot more relaxed and energetic than on leno.
I'd seen those videos at youtube (http://www.youtube.com/results?search=wreckers+craig&search_type=search_videos) but I really wanted to download them.
-
The Wreckers on The View - Yay!!
I always watch but kinda slept in today. I totally forgot they were going to be on. I woke up, turned on the tv. There was commercial on but when it came back on, they were introduced. They even spoke with them for a few. They talked about how they got their name, came about and how they promised if they ever made it would get boob jobs.
I think they hit a few bad notes but it was cool.
-
Boob jobs. Ugh. And umm...hasn't Michelle already "made it" ??
Hopefully someone taped this & can upload it. :D
-
Boob jobs. Ugh. And umm...hasn't Michelle already "made it" ??
I guess I didn't explain that very well. This was way back when they first met like 6 years ago. They agreed that if one of them ever made it they would get boob jobs. They were both laughing and said they never followed through. Michelle said she had a baby so she didn't need it anymore and JH said, obviously she never did it.
-
lol, oh I see.
Well, I just HAVE to throw my 2 cents in for good measure: Boob jobs are stupid.
-

Nobody ever answered my question, so I'll ask again...
What exactly is "Hard To Love You" about?
-

not sure exactly, I think there was some discussion about this on the jh.net boards...
i'm guessing it's about her parents and husband Teddy :?

in one of their last interviews, meech talks about how only jess and jess's parents were supportive of her and teddy :lol: . her parents, her label,pretty much everybody was against their relationship.her parents didn't like the idea of her dating a musician.So I think the song is about that. Meech's version of who's to say lol
-
Hmm, interesting. Thanks for the replies!
-
i kind of looked at it as being about the music industry.. "took a mistake to really show me exactly what they were like" i kind of take that to mean that everything was fine, until she started doing things differently (maxim, teddy, country, the post she made on the message board) and then people didn't like that so much and turned on her. "why do i try to make them happy"..same thing.
i dunno. that was my take on it... i could just be crazy. and it would make sense if it was about teddy and her parents and stuff.
-
yeah. it could be about either, or both.
-
Woohoo! I'm going to be seeing them at the Canyon Club in Agoura Hills (like 15 minutes from my house) on July 18. I'm so excited! TicketMaster has the dates wrong so I had to call the venue to get tickets.

Thanks Steve!
I definitely appreciate it :)
-
thank you so much!!!!! :D:D
-
tennessee is so perfect, almost too perfect, amazing.And I love when they play my oh my, looks like they have so much fun. How come they don't sing that well on tv shows? these internet accoustic performances are always better than the tv ones. I guess they get nervous on tv.
-
Jessica seems to get really nervous. I guess it's understandable since she doesn't have the exposure Michelle has so she's not accustomed to being on TV with millions of people watching.
-
Nice work Steve!
Thanks a bunch! :)

When their songs are as vague as this and could be interpreted many different ways, I always assume it's about the music industry because their songs about boys and whatnot are much more straight forward.
I think HTLY is about Michelle's problems with her stereotypical fan that only knows her market image and flips out whenever she does something that doesn't fit that image along with being about the music industry...
...but, as Sammy pointed out, the lyrics are too vague to really know for sure.

It's just that we're both hard-headed so when we do disagree it's more blown up. :argue:

Leave the pieces is still movin up on the Billboard charts!! its no.63 on the hot 100, was no.67 last week...and its no.16 on country singles..was no.20 last week.. it also has "AIRPOWER".. So i think the second single s gonna be late..and i hope it is Tennessee!!!
-
Nope, the next single is "My Oh My" and will not be out for a few months. I am pushing for "Tennessee" as the next one after that, but I'm not the one who gets to make those decisions. Ha!
Jess had a marathon chat session w/ her board members over at jessicaharp.net last night! If you aren't already a member there you should join! It's amazing that she took a few hours on her day off to chat on her boards! :)
-
I can't believe I missed that :cry:. All I was doing was sitting here being bored wanting something to do! :cry: lol.

I love tennessee but I had been hoping my oh my would be a single, I think its as country as it gets, and the girls look like they have sooo much fun when they perform that song! :D

Oh Did she really?!! Thats so cool of her! I love My Oh My too....
-
so i guess there's no way they're ever going to promote on non-country radio? because leave the pieces has been played on non-country, but there's no way my oh my would be.
-
Guess who just found out she got a front row ticket to see the Wreckers with one of her best pals?
Hint: Me!
-
The show last night was great! Even though we had to drive to the middle of nowhere (Oroville, CA), it was well worth the drive. Michelle and Jess sounded fantastic, and they sing so well together, that you have to watch them in person to see who is singing which lines of each song. They were in great spirits, and seemed to have a blast on stage together. They only sang for about an hour, but the hour was filled with great music sung by fabulous singers/songwriters. After the show, the girls spent time on stage signing lots of autographs for everyone, and they were super sweet. We can't wait to see them again, and we highly recommend that everyone go and catch one of The Wreckers' shows!!!! :D :D
-
I've never actually heard them. What other artists do they sound like? Michelle's very talented.
-
Michelle and Jess harmonize so beautifully together, I guess maybe you could compare them to the Dixie Chicks, but honestly, The Wreckers sound much better than the Dixie Chicks. Go onto thewreckers.com, and you can hear several of their songs. On their myspace, you can also see a video or two. They are amazing together, and everyone should check them out!
-
My friend and I driving and he turned on the country station and I heard LTP. I was like "8O" and he was like "This is a country song" and I was like "I didn't think they played it" and he said they play it somewhat often, he's heard it a couple times. :D
-
I can't drive yet. Cars bother me. Still haven't heard it, though.

I'm quite aware that what you said was supposed to be sarcastic. Regardless, I chose to meander off for one post, whereas plenty of other posts have gone further than that. Try the Coach bag thread. Either way, why do you think that I don't know who Afterglow is? =)

Don't worry! If you're in an accident, who are you gonna call? A wrecker, of course! Now, we're back on topic! :wink:

i heard some of patty griffin's one more girl, and though i love patty, the wreckers version is sooooo much better.

Stand Still, Look Pretty (the song) is too good to be as short as it is!!
that is all.

You should do stand up.

i just think that the harmonies make that song.

Okay so I went to see The Wreckers last night at the Canyon Club and it was a really great show but there were some problems.
First of all when I get there I find out that I didn't have tickets waiting for me at will call because the credit card didn't go through yet my reservations for dinner was there. WTF? So I didn't have any hard tickets for the show and I collect my concert tickets.
Then they didn't have any merchandise for sale there so I couldn't buy a program or keychain which I also collect.
I eat dinner and the food was really good but then I see some girls that didn't eat there sitting in front of the stage of the dance floor and realize that if they stand I won't be able to see the show so I'm eating and worrying that I won't see the show. Luckily when I was through eating there was still a spot in the front of the stage slightly off center but right below where Michelle would be standing.
The actual show was awesome. They sang a 15 song set with a couple of new songs like Damn That Radio. Jessica sang a song by Lori McKenna called Drinking Problem for her solo and Michelle sang All You Wanted completely different from the single version. It was really good. They sounded great and didn't seem nervous like they do on their TV appearances. Michelle said she was glad to be in "her hood" and jokingly invited everyone there to a party at her house. Apparently she lives near Agoura Hills. I actually did get a setlist from the show so that was awesome. Unfortunately I didn't get to meet them or get a picture with them because I didn't know how they do that kind of thing at the venue and the security guy said you needed a special pass to go into the back.
The worst part of the night was that I thought I had gotten video from the show because they allowed digital cameras at the venue but when you have someone technologically challenged using the digital camera because you can't you end up with pictures instead of video and only 2 of the pictures turned out good.
All in all it was a good night and hopefully I'll get to see them again soon. Here are my pictures:

Hi, I love the Wreckers too. I was a Michelle Branch fanbefore I was a Nessaholic. I recall seeing them do a live show in Canada. Does anyone, by chance, have the full concert to download? Youtube have some but it's not the full extent. I would like to save it.
Thanks

They have if you're still in Milwaukee. They just did a free show in Madison a little while ago and they played at a festival up north earlier in the summer.
And the One Tree Hill Tour came through Chicago, but that was a year and a half ago.

90 miles away is only close if you can drive, which I can't :cry: lol.
