Sounds Like
Lots of people say we sound like Hole meets L7. If Gwen Stefani (not her new stuff, but the punkiest early No Doubt stuff,) & Dave Grohl had a kid, it could be Shut Up Marie.
SHUT UP MARIE is on an indefinite hiatus until further notice. Annie, however, made a huge and very good move to Austin, TX ("The Live Music Capitol of the World") and now plays in a new band called NAKED ROSE and you can find out more at www.myspace.com.annetmarie, where NAKED ROSE is in the Top Friends. Annie is still playing solo-acoustic shows all over Texas, and wants to hear from you - so please send a FRIEND REQUEST AND A MESSAGE... too many friend requests makes it hard to keep up and we're doing our best so if you send a message too that will help! THANKS SO MUCH to Rob & Big for having Annie on the show even though things did not quite work out - sales for SHUT UP MARIE CDs piled up on iTunes, so please go there and visit, listen to some FREE songclips, and buy the CD ro your favorite songs!!!!!!!! Results PLEASE CLICK ON THE "RESULTS" link above to see the ACTUAL RESULTS!!!!!
You can now check out & purchase SHUT UP MARIE songs & CDs at CDBaby and at iTunes! For direct links:
About S.U.M.: We like to have fun. That's what it's all about. Loud guitars, loud people, crazy people, hell, even quiet and subdued people. We don't care! As long as you know how to have fun. That's all that really matters!!!!!!!! NOTHING ELSE MAKES A DAMN BIT OF DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD! Just enjoy every day & live every day to the fullest! And crank up the guitars!!!!!!!!
Fun info: I was on "Rob and Big" on MTV and it was great fun. Please check out my blog!

marie
so i dont think u got my message because, i checked out sent messages and it wasnt in there but, How was reality TV is it all planned out? Or do you do what you wanted?? And everytime the show airs do you get any percentage? Lol that would be rad.
ya ya... Rob, idk.. he could be a keeper... how tall is he? i hear he is short??? i also hear he weighs like 135 pounds or somethin insane like that. anyway... i think that worked out in your favor becuase now everybody has heard of the band Shut Up Marie so thats a definite plus. anyway, thanks for the great music!

All i have to say is that I dont know one girl who isnt hot that plays music. Ive worked with 4 beautiful girls from Hollywood before and i know plenty more in ur area. I like what u got going and much luck
I saw the vote buttons during that episode...but didn't vote because I hadn't watched it all. But now that I have...I am off to vote. I'm sure you didn't want his scrawny ass anyway. Gotta love that dog though!

Dear Annie B., yea, i did see you on the R&B show and that was totally wrong what happened. You should take a trip over here, age (almost) dosnt matter to me lol. Texas is a "rock'n" state, i may see you here? Rock on! l8rs
