In the World of Aly & AJ Michalka…

Written by Jill-Renay on Friday, 27 of June , 2008 at 7:39 am

It’s been a while since we’ve had anything to read or say on singing sister duo Aly & AJ Michalka, but last night proved a wealth of tiny tidbits that amount to a big headline. Not only has their new official website been re-launched (great layout!) but it seems that the sisters have picked up a stalker and a design deal along the way.

The Associated Press, Columbia Dispatch, as well as many other small town newspapers reported as of yesterday that Rex Mettler, 42, was arrested for stalking the girls. Mettler is accused of stalking and making violent threats to the singing sisters and police investigators collected unspecified evidence from his home. He is scheduled to be arraigned tomorrow in Fairfield County Municipal Court.

And when you think of designing and sisters/siblings together, you normally think clothes, no? Well, in this case not so much. Instead of mimicking The Sprouse Twins or the Olsens and creating their own line of tween-teen clothing (which, btw, would be awesome), the Michalka sisters are designing and launching their own video game accessories this fall. Weird, right? What are those?

Well, for all of us non gamers, this means guitar controllers for right now. This is the first product that will launch in September and be available for the Wii and PS2 Versions of Guitar Hero.

“We wanted to do something that really speaks to the girls who are fans of these games,” said Aly, the older of the two sisters. “We love the idea of being able to bring them into our music by playing one of our guitars.”

Aly & AJ talk about next album

Written by Chay on Wednesday, 7 of May , 2008 at 11:58 am

Aly and AJ chats with a paparazzo about their next album while they try to get back to their car. Watch as Aly mentioned to AJ how the paparazzo, with the cam, is the same one from her day of shopping with Vanessa Hudgens back in March.


Good to see the paparazzi not crowding them too much - which lead them to be more chatty..

Like Woah….I’m actually enjoying this one

Written by Jill-Renay on Saturday, 22 of December , 2007 at 7:21 pm

Okay, so Like Woah, this is good. Like Woah, I like it.

It was announced this week that the second single and video to be released from teen sensations Aly&AJ’s sophomore album, Insomniac, is Like Woah

So, Like Woah, it’s actually not that bad. Of course, don’t take my word for it that you’re going to like it because I just started to listen to them and don’t know anything really about their music, other than Like Woah, this song is catchy. I mean, the only thing I ever heard from them, besides the ‘Breakup Song’ was ‘Joy to the World’ and that was good, but anything else, I wouldn’t be able to tell you if it was good or not.

So, VABN Readers, is it really Like Woah?

Bop to the top of the charts…

Written by Chay on Wednesday, 25 of July , 2007 at 8:42 pm

Not quite… but still impressive - the first song released from High School Musical, What Time Is it? reached the number #3 spot in Billboard’s Hot Single Sales. What’s even impressive is, the soundtrack to the original movie sold more copies moving from #102 to #80 in the Top 200 charts.Miley Cyrus’ double CD is still going strong on it’s 3rd week on the charts, taking the #3 spot.

Meanwhile, the gorgeous sisters Aly & Aj’s latest from Hollywood records, Imsomniatic, made a mark debuting at #15.

so Vanashbrenique!
