M2M’s Marit Larsen told fans on her official website she plans to enjoy the Easter weekend by taking a ski trip to the mountains. Larsen wrote, “I’ve just packed my bags and right now I’m getting ready for a weekend up in the mountains. I can’t wait to ski as it’s been almost five years since last time (argh… I’m sounding like an OLD woman!) Anyways, I’m going up there with family and friends and I simply can’t wait…”

M2M’s Marit Larsen wrote on her official website Tuesday about her love of performing after a fan sent her a picture from a Holland radio show performance back in 2000. Larsen wrote, “I remember how overwhelming it was, how proud it made me, and how much I realized that it must have been one of the best feelings I had ever felt. Performing is one of the best parts of being a musician. Being up there, playing your songs and struggling to play even a little bit better than last time. The audience makes you want to be the best that you can be.”

Bryan Reesman of Launch.com spoke with M2M, where vocalist and keyboardist Marion Raven mused about the mixed messages by her pop rivals. Raven said, “It feels weird when they’re [nearly] naked in pictures and saying they want to wait till after they’re married [to have sex], and they keep talking about sex all the time. It bugs me a little. We can talk about our songs and stand up for them–this is what we experienced and what we wrote about.” Read more.

M2M’s Marit Larsen thanked fans on her official site Thursday after the release of M2M’s new album ‘The Big Room’ on Tuesday. Larsen said from New York, “So I’m back in the city, spent the whole day at the record company. We did a performance for about every single person who works at Atlantic and it was a blast… it’s a great feeling when you can have a room full of people – and they’re all being quiet and paying attention to what you’re doing.”

In what might look like an unlikely pairing other than the fact that both are on Atlantic Records, M2M will open for Jewel on a U.S. concert tour that begins June 14 in Tampa and ends July 21 in Austin Texas. M2M’s sophomore album, ‘The Big Room,’ will be released Tuesday by Atlantic. The teen duo has been plagued by lack of airplay on MTV.
