TWILIGHT MUSIC MONTH: THE TWILIGHT MUSIC GIRLS (DAY ONE)
It’s the first day in another week of our Twilight Music Month, and we’re happy to announce our third featured band: the Twilight Music Girls! If you haven’t heard this great Twilight-inspired band before, it’s made up of 5 lovely ladies with a passion for music and Twilight. Over the next few days, we’ll be giving you exclusive features so you can get to know the band and their music a little better. And who better to introduce the Twilight Music Girls but themselves? Check out the video below for an exclusive hello from TMG to all you TAers out there:
Who are the Twilight Music Girls? With all the Harry Potter and Twilight “fan bands” around, its easy for one to get lost in the shuffle. But the Twilight Music Girls are something different. While the girls are fans, they are not really a band at all. The group was actually a side project that got a little bigger than expected. Born from a love of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga, the Twilight Music Girls consists of five highly accomplished Los Angeles-based singer/songwriters: Kris Angelis, Lauren Harding, Laura Serafine, Lyndzie Taylor, and Mallory Trunnell.
Originally friends from drama school, the girls shared a passion for music, often playing shows together at various clubs in town. The girls were all playing at the same venue one night and discovered that they had each been musically inspired by the golden-eyed vampire and his sweetheart. All of their sets included a ‘Twi-song’ about the star-crossed pair. The ladies realized their passion for Meyer’s characters was great inspiration, and they wanted to share their music with Twilighters everywhere. A few weeks and lots of Twilight-gushing later, the Twilight Music Girls was born.
The group is made up of five very different artists with styles ranging from pop to folk to rock, with sprinklings of punk and jazz. Their lyrics are poignant yet subtle, connecting with fans of the book while still utilizing universal themes that any listener can identify with.
The response to the project has been incredible, and the Twilight Music Girls are having fun playing music and making new Twilight-loving friends. The girls look forward to the release of their first collection of songs, The Twilight Music Girls: a Compilation, this September. In the meantime, each of the five songwriters continues to write, perform and promote their own original music independently.
