What is the most AWESOME…

Song you’ve ever written?

Shae – Too hard to pick one.
Kate – The Sophie Melon Rap.  It’s about Sophia.
Sophia – “You Dumped Me”
Shelby – “Don’t Let Me Go”
Katie – I wrote a song about a relationship that ended sort of badly. The guy intentionally tried to hurt me afterwards, and he succeeded. At least I got a good song out of it. Warning: Break my heart, the next one will be about you.

Recipe you know by heart?

Shae – Peanut butter and jelly
Kate – Iced Coffee…Ice + Coffee – DELICIOUSNESS.  Yum.
Sophia – Milk, cereal.
Shelby – Sautéed tofu and vegetables

Concert you’ve ever been to?

Shae – Flyleaf, Sick Puppies, and Resident Hero all on one bill at the House of Blues!
Kate – Paramore when they opened for No Doubt. It was RAD.

Date you’ve ever been on?

Shae – Still waiting for an awesome date
Kate – Friday, September 4, 2009.
Sophia –  The first time he said I love you.
Shelby – We were supposed to go to the movies, but isntead we went to Wal-Mart and it was actually really fun.  Then, we sat in his car in the parking lot listening to music.
Katie – I think simple, romantic dates are the best, with someone you really care about. Doing silly things where you can just be yourself and have a good laugh. This guy took me to the top of the highest hill in his town once. We sat, watched the sunset, just talked and laughed. Then we got frozen yogurt. It was fun because I really enjoyed his company.

The girls have been gearing up for the release of their debut album while on tour with Mitchel Musso. Haven’t been able to catch a show? Tune in to a live broadcast of their NYC concert on September 12th at 1:30pm EST.  Fans can join in on the fun from anywhere in the country by texting “MMKSM” to 30303 to vote for how they want Mitchel and KSM to open and close the show. Both artists will stream the concert live from their Facebook pages (www.facebook.com/ksmofficial and www.facebook.com/mitchelmusso) and stick around afterwards to give a recap.

After tuning in to the show, sign up to “KSMALERT” (at 30303) to get a personal call from the girls on September 15th for the announcement of some very big news!

When it comes to making music, Shelby (lead vocals & guitar), Katie (guitar & vocals), Shae (lead guitar), Sophia (bass) and Kate (drums), are a wrecking crew unto themselves. They sing of the world they know — boys, dating, texting, playing and partying — yet they also bring a surprising measure of depth to their songs.

Says lead singer Shelby, “Being all girl, all teen, were usually pre-judged. People dont expect that much, but we usually convince the audience that were a legit rock band, not just a chick band.  KSM…5 girls taking music into their own hands and ready to show their generation what girl power is all about.

Before heading out on tour with Demi Lovato, KSM covered Cheap Trick’s “I Want You To Want Me” for the new 10 Things I Hate About You TV series.  Check out the rocking video here and be sure to pick up their new “I Want You To Want Me” EP available on iTunes today!  Keep an eye out for KSM’s debut album due out later this year.
