Mandi Perkins posted a video offering a look inside the singer songwriter’s debut album ‘Alice In No Man’s Land’, out Tuesday (August 5) via Sony BMG. “A lot of my stuff is pretty dark and a lot of people say, ‘I don’t understand how your personality is pretty happy, and your music comes out and it’s dark.’ When I’m mad I usually don’t show it to people, I usually go and write it down.” Watch the EPK at Bing.
Mandi Perkins is out with the music video to her new single ‘Who I Am’, the first release from the Canadian pop rock artist’s debut album ‘Alice In No Man’s Land’, out August 5th on Sony BMG. Watch it below.
The following artists sent out MySpace bulletins wishing fans a happy Easter:
Mandi Perkins: “For all of you who celebrate easter, I hope you have a great day:) Now seriously go outside and play!!!”
A Fine Frenzy (Alison Sudol): “I hope you’re having a sweet sweet Easter, filled with chocolate, family, kisses and colored eggs.”
Stevie Brock: “Hope everyone has a great Easter!! Thank you for all the support!”
Mandi Perkins checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Thursday (February 21) with the following message:
Hey Guys:
This Saturday, we are doing the video for my first single! So damn excited. It’s being brought to you by the same team that did the ‘Who I am’, video (which you haven’t yet seen ?) But I promise you will soon. The set is being built as I write this… think Tim Burton meets Baz Luhrmann.
Since I want it to be a surprise, I’ll just say that the video involves a crazy wedding scene, special gnarled trees, an amber sky and thousands of leaves… Definitely late autumn gone wrong.
I’ll have some behind the scenes footage and a bunch of new pictures up by early next week. And I think the video should probably be released in April or May. We’re hoping this one goes all around the world. Global baby global!!
Thanks so much for all your support. I wont be able to answer much mail until next week, but please throw me a comment when you can.
Have a great weekend

Mandi Perkins checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Wednesday (January 23). She writes:
Hey Guys:
Yesterday I had my acoustic BMI show at the Sundance Film Festival…
While it was really fun out here in beautiful Park City for most of the day, the whole night was tempered with the very sad news about Heath Ledger.
A lot of actors/directors/writers and crew here were friends with him (and they all said he was a really kind guy) so it became a pretty sobering atmosphere at a lot of venues.
Such a young & talented life; so much loss.

Mandi Perkins, recently signed to Sony BMG, weighed in on the latest troubles happening with Britney Spears in her blog at MySpace on Friday (January 4). Perkins writes:
Is it just me, or is the whole Britney Spears debacle really upsetting? I actually really feel terrible for her. It doesn’t matter who you are or what you have accomplished in this life… to see anybody have so many personal problems is absolutely crushing.
Not a day goes by that there isn’t something on the front of Yahoo or in the pages of a magazine chronicling the dark spiral that has become Britney. I’ve tried my best to ignore it, but it’s really hard to not watch. It’s that sudden jerk reaction when you see a car accident or a scary as hell movie – you want to turn away, but are compelled by some unknown instinct to keep watching. You don’t want to see, don’t want to watch what happens next, but you look anyway.
There are a million opinions on Britney: She’s a good parent given a bad rap/she’s a bad parent getting her due/she’s a lip synching performer showing her true lack of talent/she’s a brilliant performer using all the attention as a platform to stage a huge comeback… Whatever. The thing is, once you’ve seen a 1000 accidents or 1000 movies, you stop feeling the same urgency; it becomes part of the ordinary and therefore, really unspectacular. & that is the saddest part of all.
