An Intense Day

Hey bloggers! 


Firstly, thank you for such a great response to the Only Exception collab video we featured in last week. It's currently setting the world of YouTube ablaze so if you haven't yet seen it, it's worth a peak. The audio track isn't doing too bad on iTunes either which we're excited about :) 


Last week we discovered our 'Rolling In The Deep' cover had made it into the top 100 iTunes download chart in numerous countries across Europe. It was even at 14# in Italy and 75# in the UK at one stage which for us is just mind-blowing! 


I'm writing this blog on the eve of an important day in the working life of DaViglio. Since I've been pretty much glued to my essay for the past couple of weeks - and now that it's all done and dusted - we've set aside tomorrow as the day that we'll spend industriously on DaViglio business. 


2011 has already seen us collaborate with Harry & Alfie on 'Dog Days Are Over' and us star alongside some of the best YouTube artists in the world in the 'Only Exception'. But now we're about to release collab No. 3!


For years Micki and I have admired this man from afar as he was lead vocalist in one of our favourite rock bands Mad At Gravity. He now does loads of YouTube vlogging and acoustic stuff and happened to stumble across us about a year ago. So now we're best buddies with J Lynn Johnston :) And we're just applying the finishing touches to the video!


So tomorrow I will be recording my backing vocals, and we'll be editing the footage! 


Also on the to-do-list is a recording of an acoustic performance of our new single 'Wave Goodbye To Me', which will be released very soon!


We may even get a chart cover video done - you never know! Either way, it's going to be an intense day in the studio.


So that's our latest news! We'll let you know exactly what we managed to get done tomorrow and what you can expect to see released this week :) 


Best wishes,

Massive YouTube Collaboration :)

Hey guys!

Micki here. :)

Recently we got approached to be a part of a massive YouTube collaboration, which will be released very soon! I'm not sure on the exact date but it'll probably be on YouTube and iTunes on Thursday (27th) so keep watch out for that! ;) No doubt we'll keep you well informed anyway. :) The song is “The Only Exception” by Paramore, and we're going to be along side some very talented YouTubers - Kate M, Amy Colalella, Juliet Weybret, Madilyn Bailey, Ally Rhodes, Ebony Day & Laura Zocca! :)

A few of you might remember the collaboration project we did with 2 producers called “Atomic Beats” - we wrote the hook “Shadows” for them. Well, more recently we've worked with them again and created a hook called “Wave Goodbye To Me”. We loved the hook so much so we decided to made a full song out of “Wave Goodbye To Me” - it's a really fun tune with a bit of Motown influence but we'll talk more about that when it comes out February! :)

Right, I'm off to watch Super Mario Brothers with my lovely sister and friend Becky Owens! Yes, I know that Mario the film got HORRIFIC reviews, but it's a family favourite in our home and we it's a film our good friend Becky must watch. In fact, I recommend everyone watch it!

P.S The bad graphics are part of what makes Mario amazing.

Expanding Our Horizons

Welcome to our official Blog!

Once more we're branching out and expanding our horizons - this time with Blogging!

We've felt recently that despite us posting videos and the occasional tweet or Facebook status, you don't really get to see what we get up to day in - day out, what it is that drives us and what goes on behind the scenes.

So what we going to do is update you on Everything that happens in the world of DaViglio. Our hope is that you will get to know us both more on a personal level as we share with you the good and bad, the lovely and ugly!

Some blogs will be written by both of us; others will be individual posts signed Micki or Debs depending on who gets to the computer first ;) We'll be writing individually because this way you'll get to see both of our personalities. (We are like chalk and cheese as you'll soon find out by our different writing styles.)

We really hope that you'll enjoy our blogs and that you'll continue to support us as we begin another leg of our journey together. :)

Until our next blog...
