The kind folks at Sound of Boston were on the scene to review our show at TT The Bears! See pics and read about it here: (by Becca Chairin)

As headliner Miss Geo set up their equipment for the performance, I watched Paz put down a flat board – painted with the blue, white, and red rectangles of the French flag – to lay her keyboard. “‘Ow you guys doing?” asks Paz in her thick French accent. The other half of this female electro-pop duo is guitarist, lead vocalist, and more local resident Abby Gutierrez.

After playing an electronic interlude, Miss Geo dives into a collection of catchy songs. Abby is a natural in front of the mic; whether she is playing on her guitar or not, she is clearly focused on her vocals, but always looks relaxed. Sometimes, instead of singing, Abby adds a bit of sass by speaking her lyrics. Like any good musical act, the live sound has a little extra something: the sound of the fuzzier guitar, prominent on tracks like “Hooked“.

Since WFNX shut down, Boston lost it’s only radio station for alternative music. Luckily Boston’s premier online radio station just launched. Check it out! We were lucky enough for “Waves” to be the first song played on their local show #Thisis617 and be on rotation. And honestly it’s our first radio airplay so we were squeeing and foolishly dancing around yo.

(To listen to us and other cool Boston bands you can stream the show at Vanyaland.com or download the “Tune In” app and search for Vanyaland radio.)

We’ve been nominated by The Deli Magazine for best emerging band of 2013! We feel humbled to even be named with other cool acts. Check out this article on the year end poll voted in by the locals:

We’re excited to be the featured artist for Taxi Music in February. Taxi is an independent A&R company that helped us get “Broken Wrists” placed on a tv show. Every little bit helps when you’re an independent band trying to break even haha. They help give you feedback on your songwriting too.

It’s been such a fun year of shows and we’re looking forward to the new year! At the moment, we’re recording the new EP we’re pretty damn excited about it to say the least. It should be out in just a few months. If you’ve been to our shows you’ve probably heard some new songs from it!

Thanks again to everyone who’s supported us and been a part of our creative vision. You’ve made this year really special. We just want to keep creating and sharing new songs. We’ll be starting up some blog posts to let you in how it’s all going. In the meantime hope you guys have a great holiday with lots of forbidden deserts. See ya soon!

-Abby & Paz
