Great to hear the CD's made it to Number 48!!! 25 Sep 98 from vu Digital 102.7 - Anniversary Bash Digital 102.7 4th Anniversary Party, Thursday October 1 at Planet Hollywood, Atlantic City The Party will feature national recording acts Stretch Princess, soon to be on tour with Third Eye Blind, and will also feature local faves and Digital 102.7 house rockers Mister Darkblue. The Party will be from 10 until 1 am, with an hour free buffet. 25 Sep 98 from Marni Bleckley There are 73 stations playing [ Stretch Princess's "Sorry" ] currently. Looking for more everyday. 20 Sep 98 from Nicole Stretch princess is playing at the 102.7 4 year birthday bash at planet hollywood in atlantic city (which is about 20 minutes from me) on Oct. 1st. I called the station so they could put me on the guest list, and the guy told me you have to be 21 or older to get in!!!! 17 Sep 98 from anonymous Sorry to inform you all that the Tinker Street show for tonight and the Valentines gig in Albany have been cancelled. Jo has taken ill and is recovering. I'll keep you all posted. The band sends their apologies to those planning a trip to the shows. 14 Sep 98 from Lauren Anyone who's planning on going to the Poughkeepsie show... good news! It's absolutely free! It's this annual arts festival at this park down by the Hudson River... 09 Sep 98 from vu According to the sticker on the self-debut album from Stretch Princess, the upcoming singles being released are "Free" and "Twisted" 06 Sep 98 from Lauren last night, I heard Stretch on the radio... sorta. I heard Sorry, nearly fell out of my chair, and then heard the Sam Goody's guy talking... so it was a Sam Goody's commercial... Still a step in the right direction I suppose :) 04 Sep 98 from Chrissy I just got one today and the "Jo Honeytrap" songs are pretty dang cool... as well as the rest of the tape. Whats neat about it is that "Sugar" is a bit different from the one on the CD and I believe longer, there are more and different words... and "Trying" is really nice too... Theres also a photo inside of Jo, just her, so by the photo I'm assuming Jo Honeytrap was just her without an official band just yet, eh? 03 Sep 98 from Chrissy I just got some info on the Poughkeepsie NY show [ 19 Sep 98 WRRV Festival ]... It's called Riverfest... starts at 11am ...ends at 5pm... Stretch Princess are the openers, for a bunch of bands I've never heard of... they're supposed to hit the stage at 11am... and ummm the radio station has no clue how to get tix nor do they know how much they cost, neat huh? its well organized apparently ;) hehe 02 Sep 98 from Stretch Princess Guestbook beastie_grrl posted 09-01-98 09:24 PM ET (US) i was just wondering if anybody else was listening to WBCN 104.1 last thursday [ 27 Aug 98 ] around noontime when bill abbate had stretch princess on??? it was great! they did a little bit of interviewing and then attempted to do an acoustic version of "sorry" but the string broke on the guitar so they had to do it again. the second one came out beautiful, and as it turns out, they did it one more time off the air so they could get it perfect. "shoes" was also great. 31 Aug 98 from Stretch Princess Guestbook marngrrl 08-30-98 08:13 PM ET (US) After playing for 40 minutes, they did an autograph session that lasted at least an hour. They must of signed about 200 or more autographs! And they were gracious and wonderful the entire time. Even if it was 95 degrees. It was nice to see so many new fans being made. Can't wait to see them again and again 30 Aug 98 from Marni Bleckley I just got back from seeing the Stretchies in Lexington. I drove five hours to see them from Atlanta. They played their first big festival and it was awesome. They played for about 40 minutes. I wish it was longer. The crowd was probably 5,000. All were into it. The crowd decided to mosh when Shoes got played. Utter hilarity. There were frisbees and bottles being thrown about the whole time. One frisbee almost clipped Jo as it flew over her head. All in all a very cool show! 29 Aug 98 from Stretch Princess Guestbook Bregani 8/28/98 9:23:35 PM I heard Bill Abbate interview Stretch Princess on WBCN yesterday and fell in love with their music instantly. *greenfield, nh* 28 Aug 98 from Chrissy's Guestbook Patricia Lo 28/Aug/1998:19:22:23 Hi, Your web page [ Chrissy's Stretch Princess ] is really cool. No wonder Jo wrote back to you. I also work at Wind-Up. I can tell you Stretch Princess is really nice. I've never thought I would meet such a nice group of musicians. They are really nice and friendly. Jo doesn't just sing and play the bass good, she also cuts her own hair. And she did a really good job too. It looks good. Well, once again, good job on your web page. Later 28 Aug 98 from Chrissy's Guestbook Jo from Stretch Princess 26/Aug/1998:17:31:56 WOW!!!!!This is the coolest thing.We were so excited when we saw all this stuff!I've printed it all out so I can show my Mum when Iget back to England.We've just finished an 8 week promo tour of radio stations all over the country,we covered over 10,000miles Dave did most of the driving and James and I kept everyone entertained by playing songs out of the "500 songs to really annoy everyone in the van"book. Today is 'album day' Hooray!!We're going to Boston tomorrow for more radio,then we have that big show before we have a few weeks off.We'll be back sooner than soon though and hopefully will be straight out on tour,so come and see us!!Thank you for such a great site,I love the cartoon! Loads of love from,
Stretch Princess.
28 Aug 98 from Chrissy I just got the lovely tape from my friend in California. It's so cool... acoustic versions of Sorry and Shoes.... along with a very low low sounding 9 to 5...(Jo singing part of a slighty changed version of Dolly Partons song for the radio station 92.5, instead of saying "working 9 to 5, she says "listening to 9 to 5") you have to crank the stereo to hear it, I dunno why, must have been recorded on another channel or something.... I'm not into the tech so that's just a guess ;) But none the less, it's still a pretty cool thing to umm sorta hear ;) hehe ... Jo's voice is amazing, she could probably sing the theme to Sesame Street or something and still make it sound cool :} 27 Aug 98 from anonymous Last night Stretch played on a cruise boat in Boston. Our VP of Sales, Derek Graham reports: The boat trip was a total smash. There were about 75 people from retail in the Boston area. They played 5 songs: Sorry, Shoes, Free, Lost On Me and Twisted. Afterwards, everyone rushed up to meet the band to get cd's and posters signed. The band had a wonderful time playing to the audience and joking around. Many hearts were won. 27 Aug 98 from Stretch Princess New date August 29 - In-store appearance at Newbury Comics, Norwood, MA.

They're really happy that a little Stretch community has begun and if there's time tomorrow we'll see if Jo or James will take a moment to say hi to everyone. 24 Aug 98 from Chrissy I just noticed that the web site for 104.1 WBCN in Boston says Sorry is the Indie song of the week... WBCN'S INDIE SONG OF THE WEEK Stretch Princess: Sorry WBCN'S LOCAL SONG OF THE WEEK Amazing Royal Crowns: Do The Devil WBCN's MOST ANTICIPATED DISC OF THE WEEK Marilyn Manson: The Dope Show 21 Aug 98 from Chrissy My friend in Cali just emailed me about acoustic performance Stretch Princess did for the radio station, 92.5 She was able to get a copy of the performance for me...acoustic versions of "Sorry", "Shoes" and they did a cover of 9 to 5....get it, the station is 92.5. My friend says Jo only sang for about 30 sec. or so of the 9 to 5 song because it sounded like she got embarresed..hehe :) That should be pretty neato to hear eh? When she sends it to me, I'll share... anyone who wants a copy, just let me know... 20 Aug 98 from anonymous Here are the latest confirmed Stretch dates (also posted on the website) August 30 - Lexington, KY / Z103 Fest w/ Third Eye Blind, Eve 6 September 17 - Woodstock, NY / Tinker Street Cafe September 19 - Poughkeepsie, NY / WRRV Festival September 20 - Heinz Convention Center, Boston / WBCN Show September 26 - Burlington, VT / The Buzz Show October 3 - Hartford, CT / WMRQ Show October 11 - UC Irvine, CA w/ Third Eye Blind, Eve 6 October 13 - Portland, OR w/ Third Eye Blind, Eve 6 October 15 - Kenwick, WA w/ Third Eye Blind, Eve 6 October 17 - Spokane, WA w/ Third Eye Blind, Eve 6 October 18 - Boise, ID w/ Third Eye Blind, Eve 6 October 20 - San Diego, CA w/ Third Eye Blind, Eve 6 October 21 - Las Vegas, NV w/ Third Eye Blind, Eve 6 20 Aug 98 from Karen The Candyskins, as I've mentioned previously, have signed to a US label, Velvel, and will be releasing an album here soon.

Center Wilkes Barre, PA 18702i know that you wouldnt know if they actually played your requests, but i listen to this radio show every sunday nite at work..... 16 Aug 98 from Chrissy Searching the web out of boredom and looking for stuff to add to update my Stretch page with, I found some radio station charts with Stretch Princess's song "Sorry" in the rotation...
- 93X - St. Louis, Missouri -
number 12 on the chart
-KLZR Lawrence, KS - 105.9 The Lazer - listed as being in "cool" rotation
(old listing though, they havent updated)
Also came across another website with a mention of the Stretchies... The Fly . I have no idea really what the page is all about but this is what it said about them back in Oct of 97: "Stretch Princess - A band that we just can't get enough of down here, this sparkling three piece have just had a receptive little jaunt to the States which will hopefully start things kicking for them over here a bit more. Watch this space as they say in Clichéville." 17 Aug 98 from the Black Squirrel and Rotator Q. > I gather that no one knows why the stretchies changed their name from Jo Honeytrap. A. It's because the line up of the band changed and they wanted a clean break as they were really a different band. 17 Aug 98 from anonymous The Viper Room gig went really well in LA. Some key industry people were on hand and were very impressed with the quality of their live performance. We'll have more details later, and check the website for upcoming gigs. There are tentative plans for a "Sorry" video--nothing is confirmed yet. The band will be back in New York a week from today. 16 Aug 98 from Interzone Stretch Princess tour dates during their radio promo tour. The headline dates will begin in September and we will put the dates as soon as they are set up. 14 Aug 98 from Chrissy I emailed one of my friend's coworkers, a newer DJ (or as they like to be called, air personality, hehe) at Y100 about Stretch Princess last night since she was online at the time and I met her and stuff before.... anyhow, i told her she should check them out because I thought she'd dig them and this is what she wrote back: --------------------------------------- i remember you and i actually have heard strech princess live already! they came to the station and played for us in the conference room in july!! i loved them!! i had a long conversation woth the drummer about tanya donelly...hee hee thanks though!!! casey 13 Aug 98 from Black Squirrel If you want to ask the Stretchies management anything about what they are up to etc, then you can post to the rotatorTALK mailing list just send an e-mail to ail to rotatortalk@makelist.com 13 Aug 98 from Robyn I'm beginning to think that "Sorry" is becoming K-Rock's new theme song or something! LOL...Twice in one day. Wowee! Anyway, the DJ who played it the last time was making fun of the band's name, saying that it sounds like a command for a dog or something - "Stretch, Princess. Princess, stretch!" 12 Aug 98 from Black Squirrel The Stretchies used to be called Jo Honeytrap and released a few songs on the rotator promo, have a look at the Interzone releases page for more info www.rotator.co.uk/interzone/stretch/ 12 Aug 98 from Robyn I just heard "Sorry" on the radio...again! This is the third time I've heard it on the radio - Woohoo! his name's Justin Pierce and he said, "Every once in awhile I find myself singing along to that song. It's very catchy! Brand new from this band called Stretch Princess...I bet you'll be hearing more from them soon..." It's 94.9 K-Rock, and is broadcasted out of Syracuse and Utica, NY.
