Tres Chicas update

Bookmark and Share

The latest on the Tres Chicas' DVD project (which they filmed last November at the Pour House) is that it has mutated a bit in the post-production stage. The tentative plan now is for it to be more of a live record with "video extras" rather than a full-on DVD.

"Once we sort out how to make it happen, it actually will make itself because what happened that night was pretty great and we know the audio won't require a lot of tweaking," reports Caitlin Cary. "Lynn (Blakey) and I are arguing about vinyl versus CD. I'm for the vinyl, but she brings up a good point about the inconvenience of hauling records around the country in a van. It's our hope that our fans, who are probably getting impatient, will feel this was worth the wait."

The Chicas play Friday night at Raleigh's Pour House -- an acoustic set followed by a rock set.

"We'll hit all those 'guilty pleasure' covers people have been missing while we were in our serious phase," Cary promises.
