Salem Falls News and Pre-order
Written by on January 28th, 2012

Allie MacDonald, one of AJ’s fellow cast members on Salem Falls, recently tweeted a picture of some of the cast doing promotion for the film.

@notreallyallie – Remember us? #SALEMFALLS has some good news coming…. Stay tuned

Wonder what the good news could be. Maybe @notreallypeter has already given us a hint to what it could be. Rumour has it that it will be shown on Showcase on the 5th of Feburary for worldwide fans!

@notreallypeter – 3 witchy witches from Salem Falls ! Watch for them on Showcase next weekend.

I also found on Jodi Picoult Facebook what AJ had to say about her character, Jodi and the movie.

   From AJ Michalka, who plays Gillian “Jodi has continued to bring to life compelling stories full of heart, pain and suspense. Her work in Salem Falls shows her talents yet again. My experience filming Salem Falls was incredible. I learned so much as an actress playing the role of Gillian. Young women are being abused every day by family members, friends, acquaintances and complete strangers. I have the biggest heart for these victims. Jodi has given girls like Gillian a voice and hope for recovery. One of the most amazing scenes I was able to shoot was the confession of Addie’s torture and the ability Gillian finally gets to escape her father’s grip on her. It takes everything in her to leave him. I know the audience will find this movie extremely compelling. I am honored to be a part of Salem Falls.” Xo AJ Michalka

Remember you can now pre-order Salems Falls on Amazon for $17.99. It comes out on DVD on April 17th.

Violet House Productions and Prospect Park acquire “Wither”
Written by on December 13th, 2011

This must be the news Aly & AJ where talking about a while back to do with a book.

Lauren DeStefano’s dystopian sci-fi fantasy “Wither” is headed for the bigscreen, as Prospect Park and Violet House Prods. have acquired feature rights to the first book in a planned trilogy.

Producers are Jeff Kwatinetz and Rob Carliner through their Prospect Park banner and Aly and AJ Michalka via their Violet House shingle.

“Wither,” the first of three novels in first-time writer DeStefano’s “The Chemical Garden” trilogy, was released in March by Simon & Shuster and topped the Barnes & Noble and Publishers Weekly’s young adult bestseller lists.

Story is set in a future where the world’s in a state of panic due to a failed effort to create a perfect race that’s left women with a lifespan of 20 years while men die at 25.

The book series follows a kidnapped girl and her attempt to escape from a forced polygamous marriage designed to keep the population from dying out. The second book, “Fever,” is due out next year.

Prospect Park was a producer with Scott Free on “Unstoppable.”

DeStefano is repped by APA and the Irene Goodman Literary Agency.

Interested to see how this pans out and whether they will just produce the movie or actually be in it as well. Only time will tell.


New digital song release “Grace” *FAKE*
Written by on November 24th, 2011

A new 78violet song has digitally released. It is called “Grace“, a unmixed electronic dubstep song with the length of 1:16.  The song is produced by JetZRecordZ. The credits show that the label is Half Hearts Music (familiar from the Into the Rush era).

 

Right now the song cannot be heard in full (only a 30-second snippet).

The song will be released on November 25, 2011 (tomorrow) on Amazon.com (no sign yet of iTunes)!
Listen to the different previews on different websites:
- on Record Union
- on JetZRecordZ tumblr
- on Amazon.com.

 

What do you think of the girls new sound? Could this be the beginning of the new album?

This song is a fake! It is a amateur remix of “Amazing Grace”, when they sang it at the burial of their squirrel Little Jack (2009).

Sorry for the mix-up! Thanks to Albert for the info!


Album News along with other projects
Written by on November 20th, 2011

Celebuzz was in attendance and took in the holiday festivities — chatting with celebs and enjoying the fake snow (we don’t get that here in LA!) The event was filled with yummy holiday snacks, sleds and a snuggle shack where the stars gathered together to celebrate the Fall/Winter 2011 campaign.

When we got a chance to talk with Aly about the brand and what’s next for her, the lovely Hellcats star said:

“I’ve gotten to represent the brand for the past year and I think it’s a huge honor. The brand is really cool and really fresh. This is a perfect event! I wish it would snow in LA! This is awesome.

As for her career, she told us:

“Basically, I’ve been working on music right now. In March we’re going to be doing the album and recording that in New York, so I’m going to be kind of busy for a couple months just doing music. Right now, I’m just in LA finishing up the writing, anything that’s just loose ends on the album. And next year I’m going to be in a movie that’s coming out called The Light of Mine.”

Also here is a video from a while back where Aly talks about the new album and its sound!

Aly & AJ on Pet Life Radio
Written by on September 5th, 2011

I just found this interview Aly & AJ did with Megan Blake on Pet Life Radio about their pets. I don’t know exactly when it was recorded but my guess is just after AJ got back from her UK and France Trip (so not too long ago)! Also I’ve added a picture to the gallery of the girls with Megan Blake back when they were releasing their Squirrel Malcolm back into the wild.
