The Stimulist – “Harvard alumna-cum-Fun Fearless Rocker Mieka Pauley”
author: mieka
excerpt:
Mieka calls her music “soulful alt-pop/indie-rock.” We just call it good shit. Think (a grittier) Sarah McLachlan meets (a well-adjusted) Bjork. Plus brilliant lyrics.

at the live concert finale last friday, I was chosen as cosmopolitan’s “Fun Fearless Female Rockstar of the Year” !! yay. the band & I were treated like celebs, it was crazy : red (actually, blue) carpet & everything. cosmo has just been amazing in their support of independent artists. you can check out pics here, & here’s the video of me & the band playing our winning song (be sure to check out 5:08 when brian literally rips off his guitar, cueing the end of the song) ::

the other fun fearless females in the top three with me were beautiful and gave amazing performances – fortune 457 & alexa wilkinson – they were so fun to hang with, and I was so honored to perform with them.

last 2 days ! vote for me in cosmo … pls & thx
author: mieka
voting for Cosmo StarLaunch ends this Thursday night, 12/4, at midnight — I would be so grateful if you voted (and voted obsessively often for the next two days). this has been an amazing time, and your votes could help me get money, studio & stage time, publicity, love…
ps – as part of the competition, the 3 finalists (including me) will open for natasha bedingfield in NYC this friday night. even though we’re playing just one song each, I would LOVE to have you in the audience — the final decision is based in part on live text-msg-voting from the audience … your support would mean the world …
if you want tix to the show ($30), get them in person from the Mercury Lounge box office (217 E Houston) & say you’re part of the mieka pauley contingent — they’ll waive all the ticketmaster fees.
