VV Brown updated fans on her blog at MySpace on Thursday (January 15) after attending the last show at the Astoria in London before the iconic venue will be demolished to pave way for the new Crossrail project. VV tells readers:
Fu**ing tipsy and happy. Drew from the Babyshambles and I were the last standing on the stage singing together, Bob Marley. THE LAST PEOPLE PERFORMING AT THE ASTORIA, OMG! Before the finale we were the second on stage and it was very festival like, line checks…. so our sound was atrocious !! But we got through it and by the 2nd song we were cool. The crowd was fairly packed and even the emos at the front who usually frown on us and crave the mosh pit, swinged danced with us! LOL, gotcha. My sisters and brother are in a new metal band and and are absolute emo’s so I know I know.. trust me I know ! So it was amazing and King Of blues were sick… ! Absolutley briliant! Had a nice chat with journalist from NME in the changing room, nice dude and got tipsy with some guy that works at FLY mag, hot guy! Sat on the Mystery Jets, tech’s moped, awesome purple thing. They were brilliant! Exchanged numbers and will soon go for a ride together racing.

VV Brown On ’50s Inspiration, Songwriting As A Tot
VV Brown was profiled in a BBC News segment, where the British pop singer talked about being inspired by ’50s pop music and having a “complete feeling of exhileration” writing a 3-note song on her piano when she was 5 years old. The interview at del.interoute.com has since been removed.
VV Brown Missing The Studio, Reads Up On Japanoise
VV Brown checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Friday (December 26) after celebrating an “amazing” Christmas with her family. The British singer songwriter tells readers:
So I’ve been a little bored amongst the festive love… etc. I wrote two songs today which I’m dying lay down… omg… I’m missing the studio so badly. I hate not working gigging… grhhhh. The first song is quite epic sounding and the second one is like White Stripes meets Billie Holiday. Pain and Pain and then first one I spoke about is Pain and Pain. These songs are alot darker than the rest and lyrically more darker. I have a huge unrequited crush on someone so there’s lots to pour out on the one string.
Becoming obsessed with Japanoise music. Being readin up on it and listening to alot of the music. It’s really interesting. I really wanna train my ears to unusual sounds this new year and get my heads space in a different world. It makes u more creative and more honed into a new experience and reflecting in a new reproduction of sound and fusion.

VV Brown Protective Of Her Flat-Top Hairstyle Secret
John Earls of News of the World chose VV Brown as the #1 artist to watch in 2009, talking to the singer about her musician ex boyfriend, how her songs were too personal for others to sing, and modeling for Naomi Campbell in September at a charity event after she met the supermodel’s agent on a plane. “I was worried Naomi was going to copy my hairstyle,” joked VV, who sports a ’50s-style flat-top haircut. “She asked me all about it. As soon as she left the room, I told my hairdresser ‘Don’t you dare tell her how it’s done, I don’t want Naomi Campbell copying my look.’ Well, everyone would think I’d nicked it from her, not the other way round!” Read more.
Meanwhile, perhaps in response to the News of the World interview or another, VV sounded off on being victim of a fabricated remark. She writes on her MySpace blog:
I’m quite new to the whole interview game and am such a chatter box I generally pour it all out… but now im getting a bit weary cause I read something today that was completely made up. I’m might close up a bit. Don’t always believe what you read. They really do make things up sometimes…. x Like out of nowhere! Not all journalists but some…. and it’s crazy cause people will genuinely believe that what u said is true. Sometimes it looks real bitchy or big headed and they have worded it differently to how you said it or completely made it up..! From absolutely nowhere! So please…. don’t always believe what u read xx

Amazing clothes and photographer! Lovely people and really creative shoot! Always wanted to do a shoot like this. Also been in the studio writing away and have written 5 new songs.

VV Brown: I’m Not A Fake Record Company Puppet
VV Brown checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Friday (November 21). The British singer tells readers:It hurts sometimes when people assume that I'm some fake puppet by a record company and that my story is fake and made up. What is credibility? I really take to heart what people say and I hate that part of my personality.
I put my sweat and tears into this record and when people don't know where you've come from and they say it's fake it makes me real angry, especially when you go through a whole lot of sh**.... I just wanna make music and I know you can't please everyone but it pisses me off. People just see a video or an article.... I'll stop moaning but I'm so stuck on wanted to keep my artist credibility... and it hurts when people question it..... : (
Sometimes I feel like people want you to bleed before they recognize honesty and I can see why artists can get fu**ed up....
