Back in September 2010, while “Hellcats” was airing, 78violet had a song titled “The Good, The Bad and The Boring” play during an episode. We never got to hear the song clearly….until now! Check it out:
What do you guys think of the new song? The song probably won’t be on the girls new album, considering it’s nearly 2 years old, but it’s great to hear!
Thanks to 78-violet.com for the heads up!
Here are the videos from the most recent 78violet Livechat. Big thanks to Oh-78violet.com!
Aly & AJ are both very busy on their music career according to the videos! Also, Aly mentioned that she will be guest on a tv show soon. Can’t wait to find out what show.
Also, we will be creating a 78violet section to the site within the next few weeks to support the girls music career and to gear up the fans for the new album. We are welcome to any suggestions for the section!
Hey Guys,
Sorry it’s been so long since we’ve blogged. Don’t worry we haven’t forgotten about you!! As you may already know, Hellcats has been cancelled, but we truly appreciate the support you gave us. We are very proud of the first season and it was an incredible experience! We have made lifelong friends, which is always a good thing! J We are fully focused on the next album. You all have been so patient and understanding. J We know alot of you have been with us from the beginning and it seems like just yesterday when we released Into The Rush. The music we have been making lately is such a progression from what we have done in the past, but without leaving behind who we are.
The weather has been beautiful here in California and we’ve been seeing so many dear friends lately. AJ is headed to London in June and will also be traveling through St. Tropez and Cannes. She can’t wait to meet our French fans. Of course, I’m a lil jealous since I won’t be joining her, but she is taking a special trip with a friend.
Also don’t forget to mark your calendars for Super 8 coming to theaters June 10th!!! We just got the new Ipad 2 and have been playing with the cool Super 8 app. We are so hooked Anyway, we will try and be more consistent with writing you! Send in questions that we can answer on our next blog and follow us on Twitter @78violet. We love you! Xo Aly and AJ

Now it’s your turn to show the girls that you love and support them. So follow this step: Continue reading 78violet Project
While Hellcats’ Executive Producer Kevin Murphy admits he is the least “cheerleader-y dude” you’ll meet, he’s a big reason why the show sounds like a rockin’ party playlist. In fact, the off-Broadway musical writer tells The Futon Critic that he likes the show’s jams so much that he wants to compile them into a soundtrack.
While you can grab tunes like the Shiny Toy Guns’s “Ghost Town” right now, the soundtrack Kevin Murphy has in mind will feature exclusive songs and covers by Aly Michalka, among others. The Hellcats theme song, which will be performed by Aly and sister AJ’s band 78violet, will debut in Episode 1.6. But music already plays a large part in the series.
“Episode 5 is about the Memphis music scene,” says Murphy. “And we get into the history of Alex Chilton, who is the lead singer of the Box Tops at age 16. And so we do a cover of the Box Tops’ ‘The Letter’ that Aly performs with Ben Norton.” A vocalist in a popular band as a teenager — sounds like Aly has a lot in common with the Memphis-born Big Star singer.
Murphy spills on a few more of the songs to be included. “Fefe Dobson recorded a version of a song called ‘Rockstar,’ which is exclusive to us,” says Murphy. The song appeared in Episode 1.1. Aly has also covered Sting’s “Brand New Day.”
“So we are building a library of material,” he continues. “Once we have enough, we’re gonna put it on iTunes and definitely do a soundtrack album.” Aly Michalka fans, keep your iPods at the ready.
Hey guys…so we know it’s been quiet in the 78violet camp but we want to first off thank you for sticking with us. We have some big news and wanted to make sure you hear it first.
Now that it’s official, we can tell you we’re no longer a part of Hollywood Records. What does that mean exactly??? Now we have the freedom to take 78violet in the direction we want. We’re writing and recording new music and are really excited on what’s next.
So…what is next? As for the album we recorded for Hollywood, honestly, we don’t foresee it ever being released. But…we are continuing to write and record new songs that we hope you’ll love as much as we do.
We’re going to be taking the Aly & AJ website down in the meantime which means the current message board will be removed and the accounts you created on the site will be put on hold. Yes…major bummer. But we’ll have a new message board and a new temporary site up in a few days that will serve as our main communication with you for the time being.
As always, you can get a hold of us on Twitter or Facebook.
We love you and are excited to share the new 78violet with you. Xoxo.
