Girls Can’t Catch Mini Tour Experiences
Jess Stickley of Girls Can’t Catch checked in with fans on the British girl group’s blog at MySpace on Monday (February 8), discussing their experiences on their current mini tour. Jess writes:
Last Friday we continued with our mini-tour, heading to Sheffield University to play at the Octagon. The show turned out to be loads of fun! When we got there we were introduced to Fearne Cotton who would be DJing all night and introducing us on stage! She was really bubbly and even more gorgeous in real life! After that, we bumped into Miss Frank from X-Factor – they were so lovely and we just hung out backstage taking pictures. We also met Lucie Jones from X-Factor who was really friendly and so pretty! We watched Miss Frank perform and they were so good – we all thought they should have got much further on X-Factor because they really do have such amazing, soulful voices!
When it was our turn to perform, the crowd were great and we saw some familiar faces, which always makes the gigs more exciting! :) It was really surreal to have Fearne Cotton behind us on stage with her decks (and some amazing crystal-covered headphones) and we were all buzzing when we came off stage! Bradley and Paul from S Club 7 performed after us, and we saw them as we were leaving the venue, which was so weird, especially for Phoebe and I because we used to LOVE S Club 7 and I remember going to see them on tour!

Gabriella Cilmi Meets Meatloaf
Gabriella Cilmi updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Monday (February 8), discussing her participation in the ITV show ‘Popstar To Operastar’ and the latest Jean Paul Gaultier collection. The Australian pop singer writes:
Over the weekend I watched The Notebook- maybe a bit too romantic for a Saturday afternoon- kissing in the rain a little bit much…but I guess it’s a bit of a guilty pleasure.
On Friday night I went to the live filming of “Pop star to opera star”! I sat right next to the judges and got to meet MEATLOAF.
I was very exciting considering I used to love dancing and singing along to “Paradise by the Dashboard light”…yet another guilty pleasure. I don’t care much for “Bat out of Hell version 5000″…but I do love the original. I got a picture with him YAY!

Nick Deturris’ Push Play Farewell Blog
Nick Deturris of Push Play checked in with fans on the pop rock group’s blog at MySpace on Sunday (February 7), the second of the four members to give a farewell speech as they head to college and put the band on ice, perhaps permanently. Nick writes:
To all of our fans:
These past four years have been the time of my life and I will never forget all the great memories and friends that were made along this crazy journey. When Push Play first began when we were all 15 and 16 years old, all we wanted to do was write music and play shows. I don’t think any of us could have anticipated how far we would come in a few short years. At the age of 20 I can honestly say that I feel accomplished in all that we have done. We lived the dream and we got to do what almost no other teenager could say they have done. How many people can say they got to tour the country, or play shows for a bunch of fans, or have a song on the radio? The list can go on forever, but unfortunately all great things must come to an end, or a least a pause. That is why we have decided to go back to school and attend college. We feel that it is the right time to go back. I will miss playing shows for all of you and hanging out after with everyone. You are the best fans any band could ever ask for and I am proud to call every single one of you my friend. Thank you for your continued support throughout the years and thank you all for being understanding of this hard decision. I hope Push Play will always be a part of your hearts, I know that you all will always be a part of mine.
Love, your friend
Nick
