CASS-A-NOVA




Got a secret to share. Hype n´ shite.

Extreme autumn on the roll. Life force-feeds you with darkness. 
Then, suddenly,
a rush of trust and eagerness runs through your skull.
Slowly you begin to remember how to smile. 
Hold your breath, brighten the corners once dim. 
Get rid of your purity ring. 
Enough of this radio silence. We are back.  

More than happy to announce the releasing of a new Lady Escape - achievement.
A cassette format - collection of leftovers along the way. Stuffy, impulsive blasts
from the past, now presented here as some kind of a cross section of our career so far.
A couple of of these tunes are familiar to some of you from live performances,
as the others are available for the first time,ever, for you to enjoy.

That's it for now. See you 2013. Back to the future.Take care.

This Is Penis Envy @ Luomustudio


.



















Guys from Luomustudio shot a live video with us two weeks ago. Despite our collective hangover after the night at Kallio Block Party, this acoustic version of "This Is Penis Envy" turned out to be pretty cool.

*Feat. Jussi Hurskainen on saxophone.<3

Check out the whole story with pictures at www.luomustudio.fi (in finnish tho)

Also added few live pictures to our Facebook page

Summer shows etc.

Being "active", forgot the whole bloggin' thing. Had super fun in the Baltics (see pic on the left)! Thanks for everyone, again. Had a nice show in Semifinal, Helsinki last weekend too. Our set is in good shape at the moment. It's been pleasure to play older songs in the set too (for example Spitsea, The Day She Came Back & Marry Me In Cuba) It is recommended to check us out before we run out of shows again, haha!

Still few festivals coming up this summer!
On saturday 28th (tomorrow it is) we will play in KARMAROCK, Harjavalta. Joose Keskitalo & Kolmas maailmanpalo, Maj Karma, Von Hertzen Brothers, Regina, Olavi Uusivirta etc playing there too. Our showtime is pretty early, 14.15. Hope to see you there!


KALLIO BLOCK PARTY coming up next week at Vaasankatu. Should be very cool. Lots of good bands there also: Tundramatiks, Ritual Smoker, Jontti & Shaka & Jodarok, Kanerva, Jaakko Eino Kalevi & Long-Sam, Black Lizard, Dxxxa D, Juha Pekka Tapani Heikkinen to name few. We will play at Vaasanaukio (piritori) somewhere around 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon. More info on our Facebook page hopefully soon.

Our festival season so far will end on 25th of August at KORKKIFEST.

We have all sorts of crazy plans for autumn. Let's see how they turn out. Hopefully we can announce more upcoming concerts soon also. Remember kids: we still wanna play in your livingroom.

 ----------------------------------------

Easter is here,praise the miracle.We shall go on a hunger strike with a newborn album in our sleeve.
Wanna buy one,stranger? Meet us down the alley.
Here and there,a glimpse of moonlight reveals our battle scars,our need to stay pure to our rhythm,to stay true to our melodies. Is it too popular-like ?
Who cares about the aggro-culture.We recorded this in a fucking submarine.
There's plenty of alpha-bands around,I guess we are the backward cousin,incessantly repeating Townes van Zandt tunes with a worn out electric guitar.Long,black,squished hair
bending under the laws and forces of nature.
 
We believe in true feelings,we count on everlasting friendships.
As a unit we stand against the temporary trends and we flag in honor of conceptual arts and crafts.


























support us tonight at 6.linja ! We love you all. We love sunshine and fine dining.
2300 hours, sharp. Records for sale, questions to answer. Friends to hug and kiss.


xoxo,

Ladies ( love cool james, too. )

FEBPLURALISM

A toast for the sake of our father's sins !

You may now enjoy the second taster from our forthcoming album,Festive Hearts. Single with the same name is a dreadful story about passion that turns into a lifelong seizure. If you close your eyes, you may see yourself running.running.running.




The album is now in print and will be released in the beginning of April, as we celebrate together at 6.linja . More information,track lists and other useful boasting coming soon.

Keep them bribes coming, this starving slacker-pack isn't feeding itself.


A small list for February :
--------------------------

- Wilco - The whole love (LP)

- blizzards , more inspirational than romantic. Both? why not.

- being foul

- Anton Tšehov 

- Canned Heat - Hallelujah (LP)

- crafts

- Love Liza (movie)



------------------------------


xoxo, Ladies

FESTIVE HEARTS
















LISTEN AND DOWNLOAD HERE


FESTIVE HEARTS
----------------------------
Rabies,rule our country
Rabies,rule our souls
Take this advisement with you
and maybe someday you'll
know like I know
when I get to you
my heart will glow

Rabies spreads like crazy
apartments full of foam
Take this advisement with you
and maybe someday you'll
know like I know
what it did to you
my heart's about to explode

There goes that heart
and it is still dark
There goes that heart
it giggles uh-huh
There goes that heart
you just have to wait
for it to grow back
into it's place and it's yours.

THE DEATH OF THE INTERNET


Welcome , friends.

Our earlier database, ladyescape.net is now officially down and out. Blogspot absolutely rules from now on. Some cheerful listing,cute animal-videos and annual supertour-reports not forbidden but demanded and done.

Nothing special going on, thirsty for playing live, basically anywhere. Let's do it ? Regarding to our forthcoming second album (working-title is Festive Hearts) , we've had some graphic plans and some paradoxical issues with the mixing. But, if anything goes as planned, it'll hit the stores by April.
Stay tuned.

You guys can enjoy the first taster from the album, a real feel-good anti-hit called Still life,still (despite the title,it's not a laud for the band with the same name) .

Soul candy : SOUNDCLOUD

Heart candy :


A short list for January :


- Another year (Film by Mike Leigh)
- Sidney Lumet (director)
- Diana F (camera)
- drawing mess (hobby)
- The Bleeder Group (band)
- Burning star core (band)
- confusion ( whereabouts)





Soon.


xoxo, T.LE..
