Annie Automatic
August 23, 2011
Annie Automatic isn't new to the music scene, but if you haven't heard of them, than they should be a new addition to your playlist!
Their tag line is "Annie Automatic is a colorful lunatic...She listens to her music loud, and takes her shoes off to dance. She's the strange little animal inside all of us." Annie Automatic appeals to a large fan base, and it's easy to see why.
Created in LA in 2009 by a man named French, they went right to work on their music and put out their debut EP within 90 days!
2010 brought us three singles by the band, even one featuring fellow Team True Beauty supporter, Kaley Cuoco which was to benefit the Humane Society.
Now, finally, today, Annie Automatic is releasing their much anticipated, first full-length album. It's been described as "powerful" and "insane!"
Annie Automatic has numerous musical influences and their official biography describes them as being "about beauty, chaos, and freedom"
Annie Automatic cares about and appreciates their fans so much!! Often responding to them personally on twitter! [Very soon, Team True Beauty will have some autographed Annie Automatic items up for auction that they're sending us to share! So make sure to check back!]
Annie Automatic is about embracing what you have and making it mean something. They are true and they are honest, they are what Team True Beauty strives for and we're so proud and honored to have their support!
Annie Automatic frontman: French, took some time out of his busy schedule to answer some questions for Team True Beauty, and his perspective on beauty is amazing! It's honest and inspiring: take a look.
TTB: Why did you decide to join Team True Beauty?
FRENCH: Well from what I can tell, you guys are showing girls what it means to be "beautiful", that it really just takes self-confidence and doesn't matter what other people think - I agree with that completely!!
TTB: What is one piece of advice you would give to people who are struggling to see THEIR true beauty?
FRENCH: Forget everything you've learned from TV and magazines. True Beauty comes from inside - how you feel about yourself. Find a way to Love yourself, and remember: There really is something beautiful about everyone. Find what your strong points are, that's where you start.
TTB: How do YOU describe Beauty? True Beauty? Is there a difference?
FRENCH: To me there is no difference. Beauty is always True. It's something Pure and Real. It's what we see and feel when we are confronted with what makes us feel Alive. It comes from Passion, Confidence, Compassion and Intelligence. It's where Inspiration and Imagination come from, it's Simple and Powerful, and it really is everywhere.
TTB: What is one thing that your fans/followers/TTB supporters would be surprised to find out about you?
FRENCH: When I allow myself to, I always doubt myself and question how I look. I'll trip out and get in my own way, and all of a sudden I'm ugly and worthless. But I just try and keep in mind that none of that stuff matters, I'm perfect as I am, and as long as I'm doing my best I'm all good.
TTB: If there is ONE thing that you can leave this spotlight with, concerning ANYTHING (funny or serious) what would it be?
FRENCH: Get a massage!!! :) Eat something Healthy AND Delicious!! Get a little exercise and then take a day off and do nothing but watch movies and eat cookies with your best friend!! Put on your favorite new soundtrack playlist, get COURAGEOUS and go talk to that person you think is adorable!! Go on a date, get laid, HAVE AN ADVENTURE!! Be an animal, and then do something nice for a total stranger. THIS IS IT, you're ALIVE, and you're Beautiful whether you (or anyone else) knows it or not - ENJOY IT
Take a moment to let that sink in...and then EMBRACE it and LIVE it!
