The band will be shooting part of their music video, "Don't Say Forever" as well as playing a few new songs and cuts from the upcoming album. The shoot will be free and open to the public, so TELL EVERYONE!!

In honor of my solo acoustic set tonight (yikes!) I'm in the process of updating some rough acoustic tracks for your listening/downloading pleasure.

Eventually, they'll be plenty originals ("Yesterday," "The Very Best Part of Me," etc.), as well as some neat covers ("Cry Me a River," "It's a Man's World," "Crazy," etc.), so be patient with me. :)

Hope to see you tonight!

Love & Luck,
Mia

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Mia Borders will take the stage on February 28th at The Howlin' Wolf in New Orleans!

**Be sure to email merch@miaborders.com for tickets. It's VERY important to pre-order for this show.**

Hey, MNSKP fans!!

After much deliberation (literally, it's been years...) we've mutually decided to perform under the more pronounceable, more self explanatory moniker "Mia Borders." In the end, it's just easier for everyone in terms of promotion and good old fashioned getting-the-word-out without any more of those "eme-what-ska who...?" debacles.

Of course, this means nothing more than a simple name change. We're the same sexy faces playing the same sexy tunes for the same sexy fans we know and love!!

With our studio-produced debut just around the corner, we figured it was best to get the word out about this as soon as possible.

And most importantly...

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!!!!

Love & Luck,
Us
