First things first…check out the stunning new promo photo of the Ultra Girls. Don’t they look lovely? The photo was styled by Kenny Ho who has worked with girl group royalty The Spice Girls and Girls Aloud (not to mention Lisa Scott-Lee and Rachel Stevens, according to MuuMuse). BRILLIANT!
Now on to business. I LOVE when good things happen to good pop stars. So when I learned that the Ultra Girls have the unbelievable honor of opening up for Kylie Minogue on the UK leg of her international tour – I was OVER THE MOON for them. What a big deal! The UK leg of the tour kicks off March 22nd in Dublin and concludes April 12th at London’s O2 Arena. The girls will be joining Kylie on ALL of her UK arena tour dates. Good for them! Check out a complete list of Kylie’s international dates HERE and take a gander at her recently announced North American tour dates HERE.
As if THIS wasn’t enough good news, I have more. The Ultra Girls have released a new FREE DOWNLOAD. Produced and recorded with the ever brilliant Steve Anderson – Amy, Lauren, Lucy and Laura have done a special MASHUP of P!nk‘s hit single “Get The Party Started” (2001) and Blur‘s “Song 2” (1997). AMAZING. Download it HERE and watch a fun little ‘Behind The Scenes‘ video of the girls below featuring the song. (The video also features the very moment the Ultra Girls found out they were supporting Kylie! Precious to see how excited they all are.
Oh, and if you haven’t seen the girls lovely live cover of British boy band The Wanted‘s new single “Lose My Mind” check that out HERE. 2011 is going to be a big year for the Ultra Girls and I can’t wait to hear what’s next for them.
