NEWS: **December 28, 2007** Wow, I really owe you some breaking news, huh? New Year's update covering past 13 months coming soon... **November 15, 2006** Check out new song demos for my upcoming Stubborn Belly Fat LP at my Average White Girl Records MySpace Page **September 15, 2006** GUESS WHO'S GETTING MARRIED? AND PLAYING NEW SONGS AT CB'S GALLERY ON MONDAY NIGHT? That's right! I caught the bouquet at my sister’s wedding last weekend, so it’s true, *I* am slated to be the next victim of love! And *you* are cordially invited to come celebrate my future nuptial bliss on Monday night at CB’s Gallery. We’ll reminisce about my days as a cynical singleton with songs of frustrated love. Plus, I’ll be debuting some brand new songs I gave birth to (out-of-wedlock!) this past summer at the BMI Professional Songwriters Workshop I participated in. I’m registered at Guitar Center. But, in lieu of gifts, please feel free to bring your single guy friends cause #1 on my list of wedding planning things-to-do is to, uh, find a husband. This is also my last performance at CB’s since they are officially closing at the end of September. Really, they mean it this time! See details for the show in the ONE-NIGHT STANDSsection. By the way, I'm sorry it's been sooooooo long since there's been any "breaking news". If you've been reading my myspace blogs, you know that I cancelled my shows this summer due to some health problems, namely Arthritis, Bursitis and Tendonitis. That's right, I'm rockin' THREE Itis's! So, this CB's Gallery show will also be my triumphant comeback show. Yeah! Hope you can make it. xo MP **December 11, 2005** GIRLS TEAM WON & CONSTANTINE SHOWED! Well, the Girls Team won for the 3rd time last Wednesday at the Girls vs. Boys: Battle of the Indie Rock Bands Part IV! The final score for 2005 is Girls 3, Boys 1. Thanks so much to all the bands who played, especially the Girls Team bands, Dayglow and the 777's...our sponsors Monsterland Studio, Kamikaze Dolls Clothing, HurryDate & K.E. Haas Salon...our fabulous judging panel...and our hilariously neurotic MC, Liam McEneaney...you all made it the Best Battle Ever! Or was it the Best Battle Ever because we got a bonified celebrity judge to come?! That's right, Constantine Maroulis, singer-actor-American-Idol-heartthrob, actually showed up. I think I was probably the most excited about him being there -- except for Sandy, my bass player, and those two girls & their Mom who were there videotaping him from across the room! You can see pix of me & C at my myspace page...www.myspace.com/averagewhitegirl Putting together these battles has been a lot of fun...and a lot of work too. So, I'm gonna take a few months off to focus on writing new songs with the band before I do the next battle. BUT I promise you that the next battle will be the BIGGEST, BADDEST BATTLE YET! xo MP **November 7, 2005** GO WEST, YOUNG WOMAN We're making our annual trip to the West coast this week. Sadly, we will not be hitting the Bay Area or LA this time. :( But we will be playing Seattle and Portland for the first time! The reason we’re heading to the the Pacific Northwest is because we’re going to hang out with Patti Smith, Bonnie Raitt and Ann Wilson at the ROCKRGRL Music Conference in Seattle! PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD to anyone you know in the Seattle or Portland area who would be interested in checking out some bratty Brooklyn-style punk-pop-rock!

MySpace.com/TheMariannePillsburys **July 12, 2005** The MP show: Too Hot For The Hamptons Brooklyn band, The Marianne Pillsburys, scandalized beachgoers in Westhampton this past Sunday with their live performance outside the Copsoque Beach Hut. The show included offensive lyrics such as "having sex on a regular basis" and naked Barbies being used to simulate the morally reprehensive act of "making out". The band was asked to leave the stage half-way through their set, and the promoter apologized profusely to the audience who did not appear to be offended at all. Read all about it at.... http://blog.myspace.com/themariannepillsburys **June 22, 2005** OK, so, the ROCKRGRL issue with The Marianne Pillsburys has finally actually hit the newstands.
