Fireworks Bring Out The Bones

by

Alexandra Del Sole*This note was from a few weeks ago but never got the chance to post it.

I have been a busy bee as of lately. I have been hard at work with my band Precious Bones and we have a exciting gig tonight at Parkside Lounge in NYC.  It’s always a feeling of excitment and nerves playing in New York. The competition is fierce but as they say if you can make it there you can make it anywhere. I look forward to seeing the reaction of our audience and know we will kick ass. Most recently our EP has been played in clubs and we are being played in rotation on radios in the UK. Sweeeeet!

Happy 4th of July!!  Today is one of my favorite holidays.  I just love fireworks and all the BBQ’s.  It just seems like a day where people look forward to and get excited about going to parties, eat lots of food, hang by a pool, sport some red white and blue clothes, and just relax.  I took this moment to catch up on some things going on.  I filmed a commercial but haven’t gotten the footage yet but, here is a sneak peak behind the scenes picture.  Also, my band Precious Bones has been doing really well.  We have played a couple of great venues and are having a blast performing.  We recently did a halfway to Halloween show at Loop Lounge, played the historical Maxwell’s in Hoboken, NJ and The Studio at Webster Hal in NYC.  At the end of the month we play The City of Water Day Festival in Jersey City, NJ.  All these great gigs have inspired new music for us and are toying with the idea of making a second EP or release singles.  Keep ya posted.  Now go enjoy those fireworks!!alexalex3alex2

Betty Page Got Nothing On Us

Alexandra Del SoleHello Kitty Cats,

I made it through my first Burlesque show!  I’m alive, I didn’t fall, and most importantly I had a blast.  I truly had no idea what to expect going into this experience.  Would there be tassels?  People eating swords or fire?  How will I ever fit into this show?  Well, it was delightfully tame and cheeky.  All the girls in the show are adorable and extremely talented dancers and performers.  I used the term “are” rather than “were” because the venue we performed at loved the Va Va Va Venus show so much that they hired us back for more events.  I think my favorite part of the entire experience was peeking out from behind the curtain and seeing the silly grins on everyone’s faces.  From young men to grandmothers, every person beamed with excitement after every act.  At then end of the show I had the pleasure of interviewing our audience and getting their perspective.  You can see my personal performance video and below.

Year 2013 is Looking Sexy

by

Alexandra Del SoleHello New Year of 2013!  I just wanted to post a few things to keep all you tons and tons of readers out there updated with what’s shakin.  We had a great run of the show Taming of the Shrew and we received a couple great reviews.  “Not to be overlooked is Alexandra Poncelet Del Sole, as the supposedly demure Bianca. Though she plays the cry baby early on, Poncelet Del Sole’s Bianca becomes more than a foil for Katherina here. She rightly gains a haughty edge in Act 3, Scene 1, first flirting with Lucentio and then rejecting Hortensio. Bianca has three suitors on a string in this play, and Poncelet Del Sole deftly handles each would-be lover.”  I have never been personally pointed out before so this was quite fun for me to see.  Check out the whole article HERE.

In other news I also filmed a Holiday restaurant commercial which was fun with the guys at SituatioNormal Studios.  Take a look-see….

This new year has started out pretty rad and I vowed to keep myself open to things outside my comfort zone and go for the changes in life and not fear them.  That being said, I joined a Burlesque show called Va Va Va Venus where I will be singing and performing with these lovely dancers.  Talk about stepping outside of your own box.  Oh, and I cut my hair and got bangs.  ( If you’re a girl you understand it’s a big deal 🙂 )  Hope you all had a great season and raise a toast to this being a very lucky year.  xoxo
