Lovesick – Leah Haywood (HR 78violet song)
Written by on June 29th, 2011

In case you haven’t heard this version of the song already here it is. As you probably know there is no full HQ Version of Lovesick since 78violet decided not to release any of the songs from the Hollywood Records album. This is the closest we have to the actual song. I think it’s pretty good.


Hellcats Worldwide Fan Project Video

Aly and AJ answer some fan questions
Written by on June 23rd, 2011

Aly- what’s your favorite Hellcats moment?
My favorite Aly moment on Hellcats was when I fell asleep during a set up. Ashley and I were both on set and had been working an 18 hour day. I was all cozy on my dorm bed and literally fell asleep while the crew started to set up for our last shot of the night. The director started to call action and suddenly I hear Ashley go “um guys, I think Aly’s asleep”. It was a classic moment on the Hellcats set.

What’s your favorite song?
Our personal favorite 78violet song from our previous records would have to be “Closure” and “Flattery”. Those two songs meant so much to us at the time we wrote them, and they still carry the same weight emotionally. Right now we’re really loving a song we just wrote called 8 Hours.

Which song have you gals recorded that you relate to the most?
The song we most relate to right now is from our unreleased record. It’s a song called “Freak”. I think we can all feel different and forgotten in this world, but its important to know that we all have these feelings as humans….and we can get past those moments with good friends.

Who would you like to collaborate with musically?
I think the band we would most love to collaborate with would be U2. AJ and I would be so honored if we ever had the chance to work with them. They are true artists who have continued to inspire people with their music and philanthropy.

78violet Update (5-23-11)
Written by on May 24th, 2011

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

Hellcats Season 2 – What If?
Written by on May 19th, 2011

A few weeks ago, Zap2it attended a press junket with the cast and Kevin Murphy, the creator of “Hellcats,” who let us in on a few of his Season 2 plans. At the time, Murphy expressed confidence in a Season 2 pickup, telling reporters that the network and studio were supportive of extending the series.

Now that the show has been axed, here’s a bit of what you would have seen had the series lived on.

The return of the love triangle! The Marti/Dan/Savannah situation wasn’t explored much in the second half of the season, but it certainly wasn’t over.
Murphy confirms that they pulled back from that story with the intention of returning to it in Season 2.

Dan in real life. Now that Dan Patch was accepted to Lancer University, he was set to have some more central storylines next season. “He’s always either been the boyfriend of Savannah or the friend of Marti. I really wanted to be able to give him more points of access to Alice and Lewis and Vanessa and everyone else.”

Which brings us to… Dan as a cheerleader? “We almost got there in the finale, but we had to cut it for length because it was running so long,” says Murphy. “We went as far as we had him in a Hellcats uniform. We never shot it, but we’ll get there.”

More A.J. Michalka. Murphy planned for AJ to recur, “but in my heart, she’s a regular,” he adds. He intended to continue AJ’s character into next season despite the blow up at the end of the episode.

More concept episodes, like the Zombie movie episode. “We want to go back to the genre well,” Murphy says. “We could do aliens, maybe post-apocalyptic cheerleaders, a Western.” “Cheerleaders in the hood,” added series star Robbie Jones.

Returning guest stars. In addition to A.J., Murphy mentioned that he hoped to have Ciara return to the show. When we spoke with the pop star, she was on board for a return.

Directed by Tom Welling. During Season 1, executive producer Tom Welling had to dedicate most of his time to starring in the final season of ”Smallville” — and directing a few episodes. He’s very proud of “Hellcats” and was looking forward to directing episodes of Season 2.
