Check out the video we created for our Twilight: New Moon cupcakes! Who will you choose?

Last week Laura from Twilight Lexicon stopped by to talk to us about our Twilight cupcakes. She shot a little video interview with us and just posted it online. Thanks, Laura!

I know this isn’t cupcake-related, but we’ve been laughing about this video all weekend. Too funny.

We are so thrilled to share the first episode of Sweet Avenue TV! This video was filmed by Anthony Quintano of Quintano Media (www.quintanomedia.com) at St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital’s Cooking for Kids Event. The event was held on Monday, April 27, 2009 at The Venetian in Garfield, NJ. The video was also edited by Anthony.

We hope to have more videos soon! A million thanks to Anthony for the fantastic video!

Yeah, I’m still editing video from our One-Year Anniversary Show from this past August! What?! Editing’s hard…. it’s hard work!

The video above is one of the many amazing songs Kieran Hobler performed at our show. It’s a cover of one of my favorite Radiohead songs – Fake Plastic Trees. Kieran is a great friend of mine, and I think he is a great songwriter and performer! You can see the rest of his set online [Vimeo | YouTube | Facebook]

Anthony from Quintano Media just got us the footage from our One-Year Anniversary show at Lincoln Park in Rutherford, NJ! Danielle’s spent the last few days and nights getting everything edited together nicely, and we’ll be posting the videos over the next few days. First up is Right As Rain [MySpace | Facebook] from Long Island, who opened our show. The video above is their cover of Paula Abdul’s enduring classic, “Straight Up.” You can see the rest of their set online [Vimeo | YouTube | Facebook]

This show was a ton of fun and we’ll have lots more videos of the other bands shortly. And, of course, we can’t wait for the weather to warm up again so we can put on some more shows. If you’re in a band who’s interested in playing an awesome outdoor show or two next year, get in touch with us.

Check out the small clip of Sweet Avenue towards the middle of the video! Thanks to Anthony Quintano of Quintano Media for the great footage of Bergenfest 2008 presented by Bergen Health & Life Magazine.

And Then There Were Machines performed second at Cupcakefest. They are a five-piece pop punk band from NJ. Their set consisted of all original songs, which can be heard on their MySpace page. Amanda Hansult from The Aquarian had this to say about their set:

Next up was female-fronted punk/rock band, And Then There Were Machines, who just recently finished playing big festival shows such as the Warped Tour and Bamboozle. They rocked it with a set full of upbeat original songs and, though I hate to do it just because I’m sure they’re hearing it from everyone, their lead singer has some pipes on her and I couldn’t help but think of that cute little redhead that’s blasting through everyone’s speakers right now. I’m sure you all know who I’m talking about; I will, though, say that they do have their own unique sound and are definitive in their own style and presence and that the comparison is meant to be a compliment based purely on vocal ability, that’s all (myspace.com/andthenthereweremachines).

Unfortunately this is the only video we have of And Then There Were Machines at the moment, but if anything else becomes available, we’ll link to it here.

We’re finally getting around to posting some of the awesome video from Cupcakefest. First up is Brian Keith’s set. Brian’s set consisted of folksy, alt-country, singer-songwriter covers. Amanda Hansult from The Aquarian had this to say about Brian’s set:

First on stage was Brian Keith, a local musician that brought us a beautiful acoustic set of covers. Though he was onstage alone, he still managed to captivate the crowd and keep all eyes and ears where they should be-on him (myspace.com/brianlapierre).

Brian did a great job of kicking off our show, and we all loved his set. Videos from his set can be seen at your choice of these video sites:
