dear friends and lovers,

plan b wants to play harvard's Springfest in the lovely mac quad on may 30^th.  superbadly.

in order to do so, YOU, that's right, YOU must help plan b!  four bands will be selected to play Springfest through a poll taking place next week on the harvard UC website.  (we'll update again when we know the exact days it will be up.)  unfortunately, you must be a harvardian to vote in it, butttt hopefully we'll get enough votes to play and then all our non-harvard friends can come watch the show.

so, pretty pretty please vote once the poll goes up.  only four bands get to play, and you know there's some pretty damn popular bands at harvard.  and if you vote for us we'll be your best friends.  promise.

la la la. plan b has some new shows planned and more on the way. keep an eye on the shows page. we've also got a new recording on our minds and some superhot new songs.

sweet.

- the grrls.

five quick things:

first, plan b loves you.

second, some slightly old news, but still very important: plan b for the type a's strongly condemns larry summers' recent suggestion that "innate" biological differences hold women back from successful careers in the sciences. in fact, we are writing a song about it! all you genius physics, math, bio and chem grrrls should email us (band@planBforthetypeAs.com) and suggest a verse!

third, we're planning new shows rightnow. promise.

fouth, amy + shirley are making a zine. email us supersoon if you want to contribute... we're planning on having it done in a week. also email if you want a copy, but less soon is ok.

fifth, happy groundhog day.

whoa! what's going on?

quote from the Seattle Weekly:

needless to say, the grrls are slightly excited.

hey kids, happy new year.

so, no huge news on our end. we're all on break right now, but working on some ohsosuperhot songs and mixing it up a bit (like in one new song, karima drums and shirley plays guitar and screams like a maniac!). we're also all headed back to cambridge really soon so the practices and shows will recommence in no time.

site has little updates here and there. new photos from the hillel show!and some of them are reeeeally sweet. and we just got on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/planbforthetypeas, so add us as your friend.

may the new year rock your socks off.

              <3 the grrls

just a quick update, hi, and happy thanksgiving from the grrls! we've been taking it easy after what felt like 4 million shows in a 30 days... and it feels sogood to be taking a break from obsessive-compulsively practicing our set. now we're taking some time to work out new songs, repair equipment, teach karima how to play drums, etc, etc. we don't think we're planning on playing any shows til the new year begins, but by then we'll have even more new material to rock the fuck out to. it'll be hot.

by the way, been to one of the grrls' shows lately? go talk about it on the message board!

ok: so many things to do and say. first off, webgrrl has updated show listings, and is in the process of adding lots of photos from our recent shows. if you took any photos at the Middle East or Lady*Fest East, we'd *love* to have them! please contact us at/send them to band@planBforthetypeAs.com.

next up: we have two gigs this week! both are smallish showcases of harvard bands, and right in Harvard Square, so if you're a harvard kid, you really have no excuse not to come. the Hillel's Gold Event is wednesday (the eve of veteran's day, so no worries about staying up on a school night), and the Seneca's S*HOP is at the Crimson on friday. more info, like always, on the shows page.

speaking of the Crimson, harvard's newspaper did a beautiful article on us! check it out-- "Grrl Power Propels Plan B to Type A Success." it has some pretty hot photos of us too...

and last but certainly not least, Lady*Fest, ahh ladyfest... it was such an incredibly fun time. just to think that we shared the stage with the Butchies is AMAZING, and that's only the beginning. we're all supercrazy for the bands we were introduced to at the event, are playing them all the time on our shows on WHRB's record hospital, and we really hope that we can organize some shows with them in the future. also, thanks to everyone who made it all the way to NY to watch us-- we really, really appreciate your love and support.

oh! and one more thing! we have pins and hand-made tee-shirts (and still have CDs) avaiable for your purchase and enjoyment-- pins at $1, tees at $6, CDs at $3. you can pick them up at any of our shows, or, if you actually know us, just get ahold of one of us and we'll figure something out. we're not yet sure how we're doing mail-order type buying, but we'll work out the details soon, and in the meantime, if you think you'll die without Plan B paraphernalia, email and tell us so, and we'll figure it out.

oh boy, gotta jet. come to the Hillel on wed!!
