PRINCESS KATIE & RACER STEVE'S CONCERT TODAY WAS PAAAAAAACKED!

Dear Diary:

Today's show was PACKED! I could not believe my eyes. There was just rows and rows of kids and parents smushed up against one another, kids climbing on parent's shoulders, other kids trying to climb on those kids, parents climbing over kids...you get the idea...it was nuts!

We promise to make the next concert at Chelsea Market in the back near the 10th Avenue entrance. It was 24 degrees in NYC this morning and to have such a turnout was just remarkable...how did you all get out of your cozy beds to make a concert at 10:30 am? Pray tell!

We had an amazing concert with you all and hope you had fun!

On another note, I've posted another blog at Hilltown Families giving a little insight into life in the Kingdom. Click the title of this post to read it!

Thank thee kindly for attending and check the "shows" section of our site for upcoming shows!

Feisty, I remain,

PRINCESS KATIE & RACER STEVE'S SNEAKERS CONCERT

Dear Darlin' Diary!

Today was fantastic. We had a packed house for our CD Release Concert for Fast & Feisty and I must say that between the racing flags, glow sticks, costumes, flashing lights, signs and PKRS Wheel of Rock, there was so much to do and see. It was a great show and so much fun to perform the new music!

This coming Sunday (January 20th) we're going to be at the Chelsea Market for a free show! We're having a sneakers concert to celebrate our new song, Sneakers!

The show starts...well, I just tell ya everything....

Sunday, January 20th
10:30 am
PKRS SNEAKERS CONCERT
Chelsea Market
75 9th Avenue
(15th & 16th Streets)
NYC

We're really excited because we've been getting really nice reviews about our CD, Fast & Feisty! Check out what Cool Mom Picks had to say:

Royally Rocking
Right now, with writers striking and award shows canceling, we're in need of some good entertaining. Thank goodness for Princess Katie & Racer Steve stepping in to save the day by pre-releasing Fast & Feisty, a fast (and feisty) tribute to all that's great about kids music.

The album features ten songs and four skits of pure musical goodness. Songs like Holidays swing, Sneakers rocks, The Pillow cha cha chas, while Go Go Go! uh, goes. And all the while, lead singer Princess Katie (nee Kathleen O'Sullivan) sings her big heart out with her perfected Natalie Merchant sound sprinkled with swirlies of Diana Krall, Edie Brickell and The Sundays. Yeah, that's right. I said The Sundays.

Don't let the cartoon character concept scare you. This is a seriously great band. Plus, I hear they are fantastic live performers. Fantastic live performers who are currently allowed to perform without crossing a picket line. -Laura, Cool Mom Picks!

PRINCESS KATIE & RACER STEVE GET TO ROCK SPARE THE ROCK!

Dear Diary:

Oh, excuse me while I take off my cool radio headset! Yes, you heard right...my RADIO headset!

Bill, Ella & Liam of Spare The Rock, Spoil The Child, have asked Racer Steve and I to guest DJ on their ultra-cool kids' music radio station (Valley Free Radio • 8 to 10 am Saturdays • Northampton, Mass. • 103.3 FM).

The show is online now and we're really excited because it was so much fun to do and a huge honor. If you don't know about Spare The Rock, I suggest you click the title of this post and get hip...QUICK!

Being that we're usually so busy either writing, recording or performing our own music, it's not often that we get the opportunity to listen to other kids' musicians out there. It was great to listen around and come up with a playlist.

Big thanks to the Childs' family for letting us host and be sure to listen in!

Mixin' and scratchin', I remain,

Princess Katie, Princess, Singer, Songwriter, Moat Cleaner, DJ*

*I always wanted two capital letters after my name and if it isn't going to be MD, I'll take DJ any day!

PRINCESS KATIE SAYS: I LOVE HALLOWEEN!

Dear Diary:

First of all, today's concert was incredible. What a surprise...blindfolded I entered the packed theatre, we sang, hit a pinata until neon glow sticks fell out for all the kids, we watched me open some pretty crazy presents from the band, danced, laughed and screamed "Hooray!" whenever Racer Steve held up the giant sign. Things got crazy when they rolled in the gigantic soccer ball I found from our song, "It's Not Mine."

The kids in the peanut gallery of the theatre got pom poms in all different colors, tattoos and gorgeous autographed pictures of all the band members. Hint Water supplied the delicious fruity water and between all the balloons, confetti, streamers and favors for the kids, I'm thinking everyone was pretty worn out after all was said and done. Hey, if you were at the concert, please send me pictures and I'll be sure to post them!

Halloween is coming and I'm excited. This month we're doing a lot of shows, so check the site for updates.

I remain,

Princess Katie

Hint Water Rocks at Princess Katie & Racer Steve Concerts!

Hey! It's Racer Steve taking over Princess Katie's Diary!

We're so royally psyched because the ultra-cool essence water, Hint Water, is sponsoring our Helen Mills Theatre Concert Series. The first of which is on September 29th for Princess Katie's Surprise Birthday Bash Concert (tickets: www.princessracer.com)!

What does this mean to the tot rockers attending the concert? Well, it means they'll each be receiving a refreshing, cold bottle of Hint Water which won Health Magazine's Best Flavored Water Award for 2007! The greatest thing about Hint Water is the fact that it doesn't contain sugar, preservatives or calories! After all, who wants to be giving these cute little kids sugar to drink?

I think I'll go for the Mango Grapefruit and I think Princess Katie will probably want to give the Pear a try!

Mango Grapefruit - Pomegranite Tangerine - Lime - Raspberry Lime - Peppermint - Pear - Tropical Punch - Cucumber -Kiwi-Strawberry

So, we'll see you at the concert! Drink Hint. Check out their website by clicking the title of the post above.

RACER STEVE

Saturday, September 29th @ 11 am
Helen Mills Theatre
139 West 26th Street (6 & 7th Aves)
Tickets are available: www.princessracer.com

This is going to be an outrageously cool concert! You'll help us shout out "SURPRISE" to Princess Katie, get a cool PKRS tattoo, watch her open up some ridiculous gifts from the band and dance ye little shoes off. Plus, the concert is sponsored by Hint Water, Health Magazine's Winner for Best Flavored Water 2007, so you'll get to drink your "waah waah" with some added flavor!

Yee-Haw! New "Sid The Bully" Video on YouTube!

Dearest Diary:

Well, our latest new live video is up on YouTube! It's a video from our June 30th Central Park show where we're playing "Sid The Bully." It was hot, hot, hot and many of the fans were sitting along the sides in the shade, but many were still out front square dancin'. Click the title above to see it!

Lots of concerts coming up in August and September, click shows to see 'em.

Ya'll come back now!

Brushin' mah horse,

NEW RACER STEVE "FAST" T-SHIRT!

Dear Diary:

Alright! Racer Steve's special T-shirt has been made and is now ready for sale! It's so cool. It's American Apparel's navy, 100% cotton tee and it's got Racer Steve rockin' out on the front with the word "Fast" underneath and the Princess Katie & Racer Steve logo in white on the back. Very cool for the little racers out there. You can order t-shirts by clicking the title above.

Thanks to the crowd who braved the muggy, New York humidity yesterday to enjoy our Bubble Concert in Union Square. It was great seeing some faces from Central Park and Bleecker Park. It's also nice to see the kids singing along to the songs! If you have any great pictures from the show, make sure to send them to me and I'll post them on our Myspace page!
