>> ADIA: TONIGHT WE'RE JOINED BY A FAMILIAR FACE WITH A NEW BAND.

KATY VERNON IS A VETERAN OF THE TWIN CITIES MUSIC SCENE, KNOWN FOR HER CONFESSIONAL COMPOSITIONS ON UKULELE, BUT SHE'S HERE TONIGHT WITH A GROUP THAT'S DECIDEDLY MORE ROCK- AND MORE "FEMME-FORWARD," AS THEY DESCRIBE IT.

FAVOURITE GIRL HAS THEIR RELEASE PARTY NEXT FRIDAY AT THE PARKWAY THEATER FOR THEIR DEBUT ALBUM, AND WE DID SAY ALBUM.

IN ADDITION TO THE CD YOU SEE HERE, A VINYL IS ON ITS WAY.

WELCOME BACK, KATY VERNON.

>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

>> SO WHO'S HERE WITH YOU?

>> YEAH, NEW BAND.

A WHOLE BUNCH OF VERY TALENTED WOMEN.

SO WE HAVE ON LEAD GUITAR ALI PICALA.

WE HAVE ELISA EMMANUEL.

ON BASS, DAISY FORESTER, AND THEN THE ORIGINAL FAVORITE BOY, COLE HODEGARD ON TRUMPET.

>> SO YOU'VE MADE THE SWITCH AS WE SAID TO MORE ROCK, MORE NOISE, MORE SOUND.

TELL BUS THAT?

>> I THINK I KIND OF REACHED A POINT WHERE FELT LIKE I WAS GETTING OLDER, I FELT A LITTLE KIND OF UNHEARD.

YOU KNOW, YOU HEAR ABOUT WOMEN AS WE AGE, EFEELING KIND OF INVISIBLE, AND I WAS LIKE, NO, I WANT TO BECOME MORE VISIBLE.

I WANT TO GET LOUDER.

I HAVE THINGS TO SAY.

AND I JUST WANT TO GET BACK TO THAT SENSE OF FUN AND I THINK, YOU KNOW, POP ROCK IS FUN.

AND I WANTED TO LEAN INTO THAT AND HAVE MAYBE MORE SERIOUS MESSAGES IN THE SONGS BUT WITH, LIKE, A SPOONFUL OF SUGAR.

>> WOULD YOU SAY -- HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOURSELF AS A GIRL?

>> AS A GIRL, I WAS LOUD.

I WAS A SHOWOFF.

I TALKED A LOT.

I SANING A LOT.

DANCED N SOME TABLES.

WAS TOLD TO, YOU KNOW, KIND OF PULL BACK A FEW TIMES PULL BACK A FEW TIME TIMES.

AND I THINK THERE'S A POINT IN LIFE WHERE THE DAY-TO-DAY LIFE IS KIND OF HARD.

AND YOU SHOULD HAVE FUN DOING WHAT YOU LOVE DOING.

AND I LOVE SINGING.

I LOVE MAKING MUSIC.

I KNEW I WANTED TO BE SURROUNDED BY WOMEN ON STAGE AND JUST, YEAH, GET LOUD, TAKE UP SOME SPACE.

>> THAT'S BEAUTIFUL.

SPEAKING OF WOMEN, YOU HAD A POST ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT REBECCA SLOMENT.

HOW DO YOU WEAVE IN, LIKE, THESE THEMES OF WOMEN WANTING TO BE HEARD, NEEDING TO BE HEARD INTO YOUR NEW ALBUM?

>> YEAH, I THINK, YOU KNOW, I VERY MUCH UST FEEL LIKE IT CAN BE SCARY TO SPEAK YOUR TRUTH.

THAT SOUNDS REALLY HEAVY BUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU PUT IT TO A BEAT AND YOU ARE KIND OF LOUDLY JUST ENCOURAGING OTHER WOMEN TO STEP INTO THEIR OWN POWER AND ONE OF THE SONGS WE'LL SING TONIGHT IS CALLED "SHINE."

IT'S ABOUT LIFTING UP OTHER WOMEN AND I NEEDED TO LIFT MYSELF UP AND ONCE I STARTED LIFTING MYSELF UP AND THINKING THERE'S VALUE IN WHAT I HAVE TO SAY IN THE WORLD, WHICH, YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T ALWAYS FEEL, I WANTED TO SHINE THAT SPOTLIGHT ON OTHER WOMEN AND JUST ALL ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER, YOU KNOW?

WE DON'T EED TO COMPETE.

WE JUST NEED TO LIFT EACH OTHER UP AND HAVE FUN.

WE'RE GOING TO SING A SONG CALLED "CON FETE CALLED "CON FETFETTI ."

THE WAY THAT THE WORLD FEELS PRETTY HEAVY, BUT FIND THE SMALL THINGS TO CELEBRATE, WHETHER THAT'S HELPING A NEIGHBOR, YOU KNOW, JUST TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING.

AND JUST, YOU KNOW, ENJOYING A GOOD MEAL, ENJOYING BEING TOGETHER, ENJOYING SINGING, DO THAT, BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE WHOLE BIG PICTURE CAN BE STRESSFUL BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS FOCUS AND ENJOY HE LITTLE THINGS.

YES, AT THE PARKWAY WHICH IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE VENUES IN DO YOU DO YOTOWN.

SALLY FORTH IS ANOTHER BAND THAT DAISY IS IN AND SARAH MARZ WHO WAS RECENTLY ON YOUR SHOW.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

WITHOUT FURTHER IS WITHOUT FURTHER I ADO, FAVOURITE GIRL.
