As it happens, this was only phase one of the kids songwriting extravaganza. 826LA has teamed up with Origami to ask bands to record the songs the kids wrote for a charity record and concert. The record will be a Vinyl/Digital release with the vinyl being limited to a 500 count pressing. Confirmed participants include Cold War Kids, Fiona Apple, Zooey Deschanel, and now, Summer Darling! That's right. We spent the better part of 4 hours last night working on our adaptation of a song called "Mexican Food." As you can imagine by the below video, it was certainly an entertaining challenge, but we're pretty sure we got a kick ass song out of it. Look forward to a Summer Darling song like you've never heard us released on this amazing compilation where all proceeds go to benefit 826LA sometime later this year!

New Music Tuesday: Kissing Cousins and Summer Darling Team Up With 826LA
Recently, Heather was invited along with other local songwriters to participate at an 826LA function in Echo Park where she was teamed up with three neighborhood kids and a fellow volunteer to help the kids write a song. Below is a performance of their song "So Sleepy (The Bells)." Pretty priceless stuff.
