Since ASA's inception in 2007, from time to time, we have reached out to labels, management companies, booking agencies and artist management companies, but hadn’t found a company that really fit into what we are looking for as a DIY artist and a group that wants to firmly maintain control of our artistic integrity and overall future. ASA is currently in a state of personnel reorganization and revamping, but our musical direction and passion--as well as our key songwriters are together and stronger than ever before. By the time our newest material comes out, we will be ready to resume playing regionally and hopefully, nationally.” Alice Sweet Alice is currently regrouping and writing new material, with the core members of Scott and Ali Kat being still firmly at the helm. ASA’s fan base is loyal and rabid--partly due to the accessibility of band members and their commitment to the fans. As Scott Martinez puts it, “It is our #1 priority, outside of our music, to communicate with our fans and make them feel like they are members of a family--our family.” Some things are just meant to be--not unlike Mrs. Harris’s reunion with her beloved “Fly Boy”. It’s called “destiny”. I suppose it could be said that Alice Sweet Alice falls in that category, based on how we became acquainted. And judging by what I’ve heard, I also think it’s safe to say that Alice Sweet Alice is realizing their own DESTINY—possessed with the same enduring spirit that also drove Peggy Harris’s heart to persevere…undaunted.
