- Hello
Everyone! I'm sorry it's been so long since I've written but
things have been crazy! Nevertheless, I have FINALLY finished
my 3rd CD "Outta Here". I'm putting some tracks
up online so you can get a little taste. I wrote and produced
the CD with my friend John Keller and it was mixed by the
great Ryan Freeland. Anyway, enjoy and I'll let cha know when
it is going to be released! :-)

- Go
and see the movie "SAVED"! "Little Piece of Heaven" is performed
by Mandy Moore. She sings it in a scene in the movie. It is
actually a really good movie that points a finger at some
of the hypocracy of fundamentalism. Everyone I know who has
seen it has loved it. Enjoy and let me know what you think!
9/22/03 - Come
visit me in the midwest next weekend. I'll be visiting my
friends in Madison and in Chicago and will make some new friends
in Oshkosh, WI. Check out times and dates on the shows
page....
7/04/03 - I
have a week of dates at the beginning of August in California
so if you are around, please come visit. Keep checking my
website because I am almost done booking my national tour
for the fall!!! I should have the dates posted this week or
next!!!
7/04/03 - Hey people, I am playing
some shows in July and August. Check out the shows
page. I will also be touring in the fall and I will display
dates as they get confirmed. I've been writing a lot this
summer so look forward to some new songs.
Love Kim
6/12/03 - Greetings from back home in Los
Angeles. Sorry, I haven't
written in so long. I came down with a bad case of road exhaustion
(I never really recovered from the freezing week in Iowa),
got back to Los Angeles and practically collapsed. I am happy
to report that I have been reading, writing, relaxing and
doing lots of photography ever since. I really enjoyed being
on the road, however, and am looking forward to another jaunt
in the fall. My friend Celeste who accompanied me on stage
was an endless source of fun, support and intellectual stimulation.
I won't go on forever about the tour but some of the highlights
included the following: Seeing so many old friends at my New
York City show (especially Boz), staying with my long lost
cousin Phyllis Fox in Philadelphia (Phyllis Fox worked for
the Foreign Service for most of her life and has lived all
over the world she is fascinating!), hanging with Jimmy at
the Hi Fi Club in Cleveland because he treated us to endless
Martini's, was totally cool and he suggested a great vintage
clothing store in which we totally went broke, and experiencing
Pittsburgh which as far as I am concerned, is the most visibly
beautiful city I have seen in the U.S. Thanks to Justin for
his inspirational entrepreneurial spirit and for showing us
around. I also want to mention the great Doo-Wop revival show
I did in Philadelphia with my father (Norman Fox and the Rob
Roys). Every time I did a "Doo-wopism" I got a standing ovation.
Now, if only my fans would react that way!!! I am planning
another tour for the fall so let me know if you have any ideas
or suggestions. I am up for doing house parties on this one!!
Love Kim
4/6/03 - Greetings from the road.
We are in lovely Madison, WI, staying with my friends Jon
and Stephanie who own Motherfools Coffeehouse (THE BEST COFFEE
THIS SIDE OF THE ROCKIES).... Stephanie Rearick opened the
show last night and she was wonderful. Thanks to Jon for modeling
my Pink Jersey T-shirt. I tried to get him to model my disco
shorts but he was self-conscious that his legs were too pale
because of winter. He promises to send a photo once he can
lay out for a couple of days. You can check out Stephanie
and The Coma Savants at www.thecomasavants.com.
Our first stop on this leg of the tour was
with Cindy Lee Berryhill at this amazing club in San Diego
called Dizzy's. AAAAH....it was so inspiring to see Cindy
Lee again. She played a song called "The Bombing of Baghdad"
that she had written over a decade ago during Gulf War I -
unbelievable how relevant it is today. Stay posted for a web
link. Also, thanks to Irwin for giving Celeste a shaker lesson.
Then we took our long trip out Minneapolis.
Along the way, we stopped in Salina, UT and had the local
delicacy of fried scones and were sitting next to a a guy
at the counter with "Love and Hate" tattooed on his knuckles.
I was freaked out until Celeste assured me that it was standard
psychopath accessorizing. Then we stayed in Denver with my
friend Marcy Baruch who is a young, creative singer/songwriter
and has a the coziest house I have ever slept in and I have
never seen so much cheese in a refrigerator in my life. It
was 70 degrees in Duffy, NE where we had yummy chinese food
and an observation by the non-English speaking waiter that
Celeste an I look like a mis-matched pair.
The show in Minneapolis was one of the funnest shows I have
ever played. The Bryant Lake Bowl Theater has the most incredible
vibe and a beautiful piano to play. I loved my hecklers sitting
in the front row who really helped make the show a lot of
fun. Thank God for midwest audience participation. Sorry L.A.
but you people are just too cool for your own good. It was
nice to be heckled by regular people as opposed to the president
of my record label (Linus of Hollywood). Dan Wilson from Semisonic
joined me on a handful of songs and really brought a great
energy to the set. He gave me a copy of his new solo record
and it is beautiful. (It's not out yet but I have one....Ha,
ha...).
Driving on to fabulous ROCKchester, MN.
We didn't know what to expect and a raucous crowd seemed daunting
but by the end of the show I felt very loved and the gals
went crazy for my cami's and disco shorts. The men will be
thankful for the new trend in ROCKchester. The Love Ugly Cabaret
opened in October and it is wonderful to see pockets of creativity
flourishing in what seems to be a very conservative area.
I mean, it's one thing to be progressive in a progressive
environment, but I have utmost respect for the people who
go against the grain and follow their own inspiration with
very little outside guidance. It was great hanging out with
all you guys. By the way, the sound person was one of the
best we've ever worked with - (And thanks for letting us sleep
on your floor, Mark).
After we do our laundry today, we will cruise on over to Milwaukee
where Celeste is anxious to try the local delicacy of Cheese
curd. I myself, am on a diet. Even though we brought out yoga
mats, they lie unused.
Love Kim
