Come And Talk 2 Me

Would a rose by any another name smell as sweet? We think so, and we've been thinking about why the band chose all the different names associated with their songs, albums, and all sorts in between. Throwing on our detective hats, we've found the answer to that burning question...why wasn't the band called Flippity Flip and the Flippity Flops? We guess you'll have to listen to find out why...

Following our long overdue and amazing chat with Peter last week about their new song, Sincere Chroma, we got the gang together to discuss our thoughts.

IT'S HAPPENING!!! New music is dropping today and we are salivating at the thought of something new for our earballs.

What better way to end a year with a bang, than to re-explode the bang from the beginning of the year? That sentence made better sense in our heads but here we are! According to Spotify, this is our most played episode of the year, and we figured the new listeners should get a chance to hear it if they haven't already, and all those who have can hear it again.

Not only did we reach a milestone for the podcast recently (our 50th episode) but the band reached a small milestone too. Its exactly 4 years since they embarked on their first ever tour as a band. We decided to take a walk down memory lane and discuss those shows with some people who were there, and share our own memories with you too.

If there's something strange in your neighbourhood, who ya gonna call? That's right, Princess Goes!

Its a cruel, cruel world...or so they tell us. We don't think its all that bad when you have great songs like this out there for us to listen to.

We'll address some of the concerns, and we'll talk all those new fans through what to look for, listen to and watch in order to discover and fall in love with Princess Goes as much as we have.

This week we got the chance to talk with Amber and Stevie, the mother/daughter duo who are frequently seen on the front row of many Princess Goes shows.
