Vancouver's BIF NAKED has posted the following blog:
"Naaaaaamaste! Divinity to all you Beautiful, Beautiful People. The Inner-Child in me, sees The Inner-Child in you. :)Yup. That’s Yours Truly (moi) in the photo. Not 'pre-verbal' (was there EVER a Quiet Biffy?) But I was probably two. It is how I felt, inside, at my FIRST REHEARSAL YESTERDAY! Like a child. Like a small, shy kid. Hahahaha!
It was INCREDIBLE. The noise was deafening and completely thrilling, like Returning Home. I was so happy! And petrified. And I must tell you, like all of us, it's how I always feel when I’m self-concious. But that feeling left as the set (no I can’t tell you) was underway, and it was like I never had time off! Like always, nervous energy gave way to losing myself in THE ROCK. Forgetting myself and simply GIVIN’ ER! Hahahaha!
I had sooooooooooo much fun! It was kinda squeaky, and my voice kinda felt like I was swallowing rocks/gravel/sand the rest of the night, but that’s always the way it is with Rock-singin’. Always was-always will be. That’s why there are not very many Rockgrrrrrl singers. Our vocal cords are kinda skinny compared to, say, the guys in The Ripcords or the guys in Blood For Blood, y’know?
Today is another rehearsal and then... tomorrow is rehearsal AND A VIDEO SHOOT! Goodnessgracious! I’m pretty nervous (see photo for referance, again) But I’m pretty fuuuuuuuuuuckin (yay!swearing!) Stoked! What an excitingexciting time.
I’m very grateful and very happy+open. Om Shanti. I feel energetic and Awake. I think about all of you, when we rehearse, and the shows BEING BOOKED AS WE SPEAK, and I’m pretty goshdarn (-thats instead of swearing or sayin 'fuckin') thrilled. I get to see you all very soon. (Happy dance!)
I encourage you all to acknowledge and embrace your Inner Child, even if just for a moment. We must honor those feelings and use them to push us towards our individual True Selves. :)
I hope everyone has an incredible week filled with Positivity and Bliss.
Om Nama Shivaya.
Rock-n-Roll is Forevahevah.
Love,
Biffy"
As previously reported, Bif Naked's new album, The Promise, will be released May 5th.
