The Owl Mag Reviews Got A Girl’s L.A. Tour Stop

Posted on Written by Jessica 1 Comment on The Owl Mag Reviews Got A Girl’s L.A. Tour Stop

Mary (and her band) ended their tour this past week, and The Owl Mag was there and gave them a great review. Here’s what they had to say:

After years of on-and-off collaboration, Got A Girl, the duo of producer Dan The Automator Nakamura and actress/vocalist Mary Elizabeth Winstead, hit the road in support of their debut LP, I Love You But I Must Drive Off This Cliff Now. They ended their week-long tour with a sold out show at LA’s intimate Largo at the Coronet.

Winstead is a powerful vocalist, able to fill the venue with the sultry lows of “I’ll Never Hold You Back” and the angelic highs of “Everywhere I Go.” Winstead was captivating, laying down vintage dance moves during instrumental breaks.

Decked out in vintage clothes, and with a hint of danger about them, Got A Girl oozed cool. Winstead and Nakamura have such a natural chemistry onstage, we hope they decide to continue this project and play more live dates.

Amazon Prime Nabs Deal with CBS for ‘BrainDead’

Posted on Written by Jessica Comments Off on Amazon Prime Nabs Deal with CBS for ‘BrainDead’

CBS has announced that the company has inked a new multi-year, multi-series agreement to make Prime Video the exclusive subscription streaming home for three new CBS summer series through 2018. The first new CBS series included in this deal will be next summer’s highly anticipated comic-thriller BrainDead, which Prime members in the U.S. will be able to stream just four days after broadcast at no additional charge to their membership.

“We’re thrilled to build on our relationship with Amazon with new original summer series and more programming from CBS and SHOWTIME,” said Scott Koondel, Chief Corporate Licensing Officer, CBS Corporation. “With a truly original, genre-bending concept from outstanding creative auspices, BrainDead will be one of the most talked-about shows next summer by CBS viewers and Prime members.”

BrainDead is a comic thriller from Robert and Michelle King, acclaimed producers of The Good Wife. Set in the world of D.C. politics, the series follows a young fresh-faced Hill staffer (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) getting her first job in Washington, D.C. and discovering two things: the government has stopped working, and alien spawn have come to Earth and eaten the brains of a growing number of congressmen and Hill staffers.

The series will be distributed domestically by CBS Television Distribution and worldwide by CBS Studios International.

BrainDead will air in summer 2016.

New Photos of Mary Performing in San Francisco

Posted on Written by Jessica Comments Off on New Photos of Mary Performing in San Francisco

AvidBlogs caught up with hip-hop producer Dan the Automator to talk Got A Girl, the band he created with Mary. Check out some highlights below and head to the gallery to check out the pics. They’ll be performing at Joe’s Pub in NYC tonight, tomorrow and then in Los Angeles. If you want to buy tickets for the NY performance, click HERE. Los Angeles–click HERE.


Anthony Gordon: How did you end up working with Mary?

Dan: In 2008, Radiohead was playing the Outside Lands festival here in San Francisco and [Radiohead guitarist] Ed [O’Brien] called me up to have dinner with him and Nigel Godrich and a bunch of other people. We were hanging out and these guys I hadn’t met before, Edgar Wright and Bryan Lee O’Malley, and Edgar asked me to do some music for a film they were making called Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and I was like “Yes! Of course!” Mary, who was starring in the movie, was at the dinner as well. She told me she was a fan and wanted to do some music together. We stayed in touch and a year or two later we were like “you know what? We should just try something and see what happens.” It ended up being cool and we had good chemistry together so we kept making songs and just took it from there.

AG: How did you two go about making this record? What’s your songwriting process like?

Dan: I make the music, and sometimes I’d send her tracks here and there, but mostly we’d sit together in the studio and she’d come up with melodies and we’d work out lyrics together.

AG: What are your plans for touring with the record now?

Dan: We just did two shows on the West Coast, then we have a few more coming up in New York and LA. I’m feeling pretty good about it. The band is well rehearsed and the shows have been going well. Right now we’re just dipping our feet into the water to show people we can play live.

Pret-A-Porter Interviews Mary During NYFW

Posted on Written by Jessica Comments Off on Pret-A-Porter Interviews Mary During NYFW

The Hollywood Reporter’s Pret-a-porter caught up with Mary during Jenny Packham’s New York fashion show earlier this week and asked her how she felt about attending NYFW:

“It’s been so much fun. When I first got here, I think it took me a little getting used to the chaotic energy of the whole thing because I’m so used to laid back L.A. so I was kind of thrown into that,” Winstead told Pret-a-Reporter before sitting front row with Arrow‘s Katie Cassidy and Shameless‘ Emma Greenwell at Packham’s show. “It took me a day or so to adjust. Once I got with the wavelength, it’s been really great and exciting and fun and totally different than anything I’ve experienced,” added the first-time frow-er, who also attended the Zimmermann, Pamella Roland and Monique Lhuillier shows. “It’s so different than any event in L.A. It’s very specific to New York and feels like a very special thing to be a part of.”

She was also asked who she was rooting for on Sunday’s Emmys:

“My best friend, Amanda Crew, on Silicon Valley [nominated for best comedy series] — I’m so excited for her show. I’ve seen what she’s wearing, which I won’t spoil what it is. And I don’t know her very well but she’s sort of a friend of a friend, and I feel like I know her, but I’m rooting for [Orphan Black actress] Tatiana Maslany [nominated for lead actress in a drama series] as well.”
