A few weeks ago we were excited to be invited to the legendary MTV studios building to film a segment for LOGO TV, and here it is! Enjoy!

XOXO,

XELLE

Wow. 2012 is starting off right! As we hinted about in our Hologram fundraiser, we are bringing out a new single on February 14th called "Invincible." The song is a dance-pop anthem about empowerment and loving yourself in the face of adversity, and we can't wait for you to hear it.

But the really big news about this release is that we are partnering with the amazing GLSEN (Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network), a national non-profit organization that promotes safe schools and welcoming communities for all students, to create The Invincible Project. The Invincible Project’s mission is to use music to increase awareness about bullying and harassment, promote safe schools for LGBT students and encourage all young people to know that when they love themselves, they are invincible.

We will be releasing Invincible on iTunes and bringing you an awesome new music video to go along with it exclusively on www.XELLEmusic.com and blog.GLSEN.org on February 14th, and we're proud to tell you that proceeds from the sales of Invincible will go to GLSEN to help them in their noble mission.

Our New York Royalty should join us at a celebration to kickoff the start of the Invincible Project at Industry Bar (355 West 52nd St) in New York City on February 14th at 10pm. The event will be hosted by Season 4 RuPaul’s Drag Race Star Jiggly Caliente and Project Runway Season 9 runner up Joshua McKinley. An 11pm show will include the world premier of the Invincible music video and a performance by XELLE. A VIP meet & greet will follow the performance. A portion of drink sales will go to the Invincible Project, benefiting GLSEN.

So, this Valentines Day, XELLE and GLSEN invite you to love yourself and spread love to everyone around you. Together, we can create communities in which everyone can feel safe, accepted and welcome. On February 14th and every other day, treat others and yourself like the Royalty you are, and know that together, we are invincible!

XOXO,

XELLE

Hey Royalty! Thanks so much for your incredible support of our Hologram fund raiser! We're halfway to our goal with over two weeks left to go, and we are so grateful for you helping us make this happen. We can't tell you all the details of why this video will be amazing, but we can assure you that you're going to love it and be so excited to share it with all of your friends once it's out, so please make sure to continue to help us get to our $6k goal by February 10th. Thank you all so much!!

As usual, we have been crazy busy. Last week, we performed with Moses at his release party for his amazing video and single, "I'm Your Man," and then we closed the show at the 2011 Glammy Awards with a crazy performance of our song "Queen," which included a live python, hot boys fanning us with giant palm fronds, six drag queen backup dancers, and multiple blasts of confetti. Check out Rony and JC's post-show interview with Fierth.com above! Skip to the 4:52 mark to find us.

This week we are doing something top secret but super exciting that we will be able to tell you about in February or so.

We're also looking forward to releasing our second single, Hologram, this week, and working hard on the pre-production of the music video, which will knock your socks off. Get ready, Royalty! 2012 is gonna be the year of XELLE!

XOXO,

XELLE

Our friend and label mate, the fabulous new artist Moses, has just released the music video for his first single, "I'm Your Man," which features us! We had a great time filming this video a little while ago, and we're so excited it's out for you all to enjoy! Let us know what you think...

XOXO,

We had an awesome time on the last two stops of the latest leg of the Imperial Tour in St. Petersburg and San Jose. Here we are in San Jose cracking some jokes between songs...

 

 

...and knighting Stephen, one of our newest fans, during the show...

 

...and posing with more fans after the show at our meet and greet!

We loved meeting all of you in St. Petersburg and San Jose, and we hope to come back soon!

XOXO,

XELLE

We've been having an awesome time on the west coast leg of our Imperial Tour so far! Just wanted to fill you in on some of our latest adventures.

We loved Vegas, where we played a huge show at Krave and met Joan Rivers, who took the stage just before we did. She is gorgeous in person and so sweet! We also loved the weather, the city, and of course, the shopping! Tags is a super fun store to check out for awesome XELLE-style accessories next time you're in Vegas!

We've been in LA for the last few days, which has also been great. We've been getting a lot of work done out here, seeing the city, and yesterday we drove all the way out to the Mojave desert for our big photo shoot. The sun was bright, the wind was strong, the desert flies were out in full force, and our heels were so high we could barely balance on flat ground (let alone the shakey, uneven old-fashioned wagons we stood on), but our producer, Zach Adam, still got some really amazing shots that we can't wait to share with you!

Now we're about to leave for our show in St. Petersburg, Florida, then come right back to California for our show in San Jose, then it'll be back home to NYC to start working on our performance at the Glammy Awards and our new single release and music video!

XOXO,

XELLE

 

We are making our Las Vegas debut this Friday night, 10/21 at Krave Las Vegas! We'll probably go on around 1 or 2am, so get there early and we'll see you there!

XOXO,

XELLE

 

 

You know you've made it in pop music when people are writing Spanish homework assignments about you, and someone recently mentioned us in an essay for her Spanish class! You'll notice she got an A- on the assignment, and the teacher loves us, too, saying "Nice picture. Nice band." Our favorite part of the essay, though, is that the student says she loves XELLE "porque son inteligentes," which means she loves us "because we're intelligent." Now that's a new reason to love a girl group! We love our fans. Because they're intelligent! :)


XOXO,

XELLE

 

The glowing international press just keeps rolling in! This time, Guatemala's own NON Magazine did a feature article on us. It's a fun read for our Spanish-speaking fans, but be sure to check out NON Magazine even if you don't speak Spanish. It's gorgeous! Read it here. Our article starts on page 98.

XOXO,

XELLE

 


Come see us at Escuelita this Saturday night 10/1/11 at 1am! It's one of our last performances in New York until we leave for our west coast tour later this month...

XOXO,

XELLE

 

Thank you to Next Magazine for this lovely piece on our 9.15.11 Imperial Tour kickoff show!

We have been crazily busy putting together and performing our Imperial Tour show, which we debuted in New York City on 9.15.11 at Industry Bar.

We learned new dances, added a new song to our show, got new costumes made, created our set, and generally went all out to give our hometown the show of a lifetime.

On the night of the show, Industry Bar was packed with our fans, friends and family, and they went wild for us. We are so excited to finally be touring to the west coast next month after a few more NYC dates to be announced. Once we get on the road, we'll be performing in Las Vegas on 10/21, LA 10/24-10/26, St. Petersburg, Florida on 10/28 (we know it's not the west coast, but we just had to see our Florida fans!), and San Jose on 10/29.

Watch our live show schedule right here on XELLEmusic.com for updates, and bring your friends to our live shows all over the USA! We would love to meet you all. After all, our Royalty are company fit for 3 queens. :)

XOXO,

XELLE

Hey Royalty! We'll be kicking off our Imperial Tour with a full show at Industry Bar, 355 West 52nd Street, NYC, on Thursday, September 15th at 9pm.

We're hard at work making this show the best it can possibly be, and this is going to be a very special evening, so make sure you come out and bring your friends!

We'll be performing all of our new songs, including one that has never been performed before, so if you've been dying to hear all the new music we've been working on, this is your chance. We'll see you there!

XOXO,

XELLE

We are blessed to have a wonderful team of people working with us who are not only talented but also hilarious. One of these people is our tour booker, David, and we mess with him constantly. See what happens when David comes on tour with us!

XOXO,

Watch what happens when XELLE does five shows in one night, all over New York City!

XELLE presents: Episode 3 of My Princess Diaries with Rony G

 

New video from Rony G on how to get a FiFi-rocious, super-straight do!

Check out this fabulous new interview from RyanReporting with Mimi Imfurst to hear some inside info on the Party Girl video shoot as well as our upcoming album, Queens!

 

We always love to see behind-the-scenes footage of our favorite pop acts at work, so we thought we'd bring you a little more of that from us!

This is a video of one of the last rehearsals we did before we filmed the Party Girl music video. It's a great way to see what went on behind the camera while we were shooting. It took a whole lot of coordination to pull off that music video, and now you can see a bit more of how we did it!

XOXO,

XELLE

 

We love it when queens around the world perform Party Girl in their own special ways. Check out this awesome XELLE tribute performance! Which version of XELLE do you like better?

 

Hey Royalty,

We love giving you guys plenty of exclusive video content to enjoy, so we've decided to start making three video blogs for you to watch: one from each of the XELLE girls.

Mimi's Minute will guide you through the world of drag and fantasy using makeup and costuming tricks.

Out of the Closet is where JC will give you a sneak peak at fabulous XELLE fashions.

In addition to these video blogs, look out for plenty of new behind-the-scenes XELLE footage to come out over the next many weeks. Enjoy!

Hey Royalty, we thought we'd give you a double dose of newness on this fine Monday, so in addition to our brand new website, here's a new behind-the-scenes video of us rehearsing the Party Girl video lift sequence. Enjoy!

 



We never get tired of seeing positive press about us and our "Party Girl" video! Check out Popsessed's fab article about us right here. Thanks, Popsessed!

In case you missed our Chicago Pride show on June 25th, here's a great video from a fan of us doing "Party Girl." Enjoy!


Hey Royalty! These days, we're spiffing up our web presence to keep it exciting for you, our fabulous fans, as well as adding new material to our stage show!  Watch the Live Shows page for new tour dates, and we can't wait to see you in the club and on the road!

Thanks to Climax Mag from Philadelphia, PA, for this fab new article on XELLE!  They'll be documenting XELLE's journey over the next many months, and we'll bring you all their coverage on us right here on the website!


This past weekend, we played our most fun show to date at Chicago Pride. First of all, Chicago is a stunningly gorgeous city, and we all fell in love with it as soon as we arrived. If we weren't all die-hard New Yorkers, we might be die-hard Chicagoans. It's worth it.

When we arrived at the venue to do the show, the first thing we did was meet Mya, who opened for us!


Then it was time to get prepared for the show in our dressing trailer, and before we knew it, our intro music was playing and the moment had come to get on stage. We burst out of the trailer and strode onto the stage in front of around 2,000 screaming fans, and it felt incredible. Then we did our best show to date, thanks to the strict discipline of our choreographer, Mila Jam, who has been whipping us into shape for the last two months. We had a blast doing the show for our Chicago fans and we can't wait to be back. Thanks Chicago! We love you!

Playing Milwaukee pride was so much fun! We just got back and we wish the trip hadn't ended. This trip was extra fun because we had our videographer, Abeni Garrett, and the designer of the dresses we wore in the Party Girl video, Geoffrey Mac, with us. Our creative team is full of such amazingly hilarious and sweet people, and Abeni and Geoffrey are particularly wonderful to hang out with. We couldn't stop laughing on the plane ride to Milwaukee as Geoffrey spoke unabashedly in a very loud voice about his crazy life while scandalized Midwestern businessmen looked on in shock. Geoffrey is such a character and we love him to bits.

We loved being in Milwaukee, and it was so exciting to get to the festival on the first night and hear the roars of the enormous crowd as we were preparing to take the stage. We did a short set in front of over 2,000 people on Friday night, then on Saturday night,  we opened for Salt n Pepa in front of over 6,000 people, our largest crowd to date. Can't wait to be doing shows like that every week!

After Saturday night's show, we got to meet Mo'Nique, who was headlining at the festival, and she was really sweet.


Then, it was back to the hotel to celebrate with the team and get into various kinds of mischief. We had a great time hanging out with The August Infinity, who were also in town for Pridefest, at a speakeasy until the wee hours of the morning. We love the touring life!

We just got back from playing at Hudson Valley Pride and Albany, New York and we had a total blast. We can't wait to be on a non-stop, two year world tour!

On the first night, we got to open for one of our favorite groups from the 90's, C&C Music Factory. It was so great to see their show and meet Freedom Williams, the man who rapped on all the C&C Music Factory hits, like "Gonna Make You Sweat."

The next day, we played at Hudson Valley Pride, and the fans were really excited to see our show and meet us afterward. We took lots of pictures with them and signed lots of autographs, and then it was time to head over to a club to do an evening performance, which went great. The crowd loved us and danced and sang along to "Party Girl," which we always love to see.

We can't wait to come back to the Albany/Poughkeepsie/New Paltz area!

We just got written up in the UK's So So Gay! Thanks, So So Gay! 

We've got some exciting news for our fans in Albany, Milwaukee and Chicago! We're coming to see you live this June! We'll be in Albany, Poughkeepsie and New Paltz, New York, to perform at Hudson Valley Pride June 4th and 5th, then in Milwaukee for Pridefest Milwaukee on June 10 and 11, then in Chicago to headline Chicago Pride with Mya and Crystal Waters on June 25th! We're so thrilled to have the chance to get to play for our fans outside New York, and we can't wait to meet you all.

With all this touring ahead of us, we've begun to put together a complete show of all of our new material. We held choreographer auditions a few days ago (which were SO much fun!) and have decided to hire the fabulous Mila Jam. We can't wait to start working with her and see what kinds of moves she'll create to go with our songs.


See you on the road!

 

 

Here's a screenshot of us on the TV show New Now Next Pop Lab, because our music video for Party Girl just debuted on LOGO TV last night! This is a huge dream come true. Watch LOGO to see us on TV in between Britney Spears and Wynter Gordon! Thanks LOGO!!

 

 

Our friend, DJ Kevin Graves, made this awesome remix of Party Girl! Take a listen and enjoy. Thanks Kevin!

 

 

Recently, we got to perform at the RuPaul's Drag Race Finale Party, which was awesome. The crowd went wild for us, and we had a great time performing for them.

We also got to meet Adam Lambert, who was there supporting his friend and RPDR contestant/Season 3 winner, Raja.

 


It was so fun being backstage with Adam and all the Drag Race girls. We felt like rock stars!

We've been getting some sweet press coverage lately for the Party Girl video. Click the publication titles below to read some fabulous articles about us! Thank you so much to:

We are floored. Just 20 hours after we posted the Party Girl video, Perez Hilton himself posted it on PerezHilton.com! Like many of you, we read Perez constantly and were shocked and overjoyed to see ourselves on the blog. So glad he loved the video. Thanks Perez!

 

 

Here it is! We just had a huge music video release party at Therapy in NYC last night, where we debuted the Party Girl video for all of our friends and fans. It was so much fun to finally get the video out to everyone and see their reaction to it.

Zach Adam, our producer, also made an awesome behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of the music video. Check it out below so you can see all the fun we had and all the hard work we put in for yourself:


 

 

 

 

Party Girl fever is spreading all over the world! Check out the video above to see footage of our song playing in Human, one of the most popular clubs in Buenos Aires, Argentina!

Wow. Wow, wow, wow! We just finished shooting the Party Girl video last night, and we are exhausted, delighted, relieved, excited and in awe of what we were able to accomplish with the incredible help of all our friends in the cast and crew. Filming this video was a total thrill and the most fun we've had together so far. We had so many lucky breaks while filming this video, from being able to get a crew to come and film on a subway at one in the morning, to safely getting the huge camera on and off the subway, to not being shut down by the MTA or the police, to everyone remembering exactly what to do and getting out of there with awesome footage intact.

We are so lucky to work with such an amazing creative team and to have such great friends who volunteer their time to help us make our dreams come true.

Sit tight and we'll have the video out for you in a few weeks!

We're currently in the middle of planning and rehearsing for our debut music video for Party Girl. We decided to go with the idea of throwing a spontaneous party on a real, moving NYC subway train, so right now we're scheduling rehearsals, learning choreography, rounding up forty people to be in the video with us, and planning a midnight video shoot for later this month that is going to be totally insane.

Dancing well on a moving train in heels with confetti exploding everywhere is going to be a challenge, so wish us luck!

 

We've been having so much fun touring around New York City clubs promoting Party Girl. We've now performed for a combined total of thousands of people and we even opened for Lil' Kim!

We had some awesome shows at Escuelita, Club 57, Rockit at Quo, Barracuda and Therapy, just to name a few, and we even performed on top of the bar at The Cock, which was both fun and dangerous. Our amazing videographer, Abeni Garrett, got it all on film, so we'll be bringing you plenty of video footage of all of our adventures soon!

In the mean time, check us out on the red carpet with Johnny Weir at his release party for his new book, where we also got to meet one of the original Village People!

 

 

 

We also made a little behind-the-scenes video for you on the making of the very first set of custom-made XELLE dresses, in which we work with Brooklyn-based designer JJ Japanime. Check it out!

 

 

Our debut single, Party Girl (written by Zach Adam and Jennifer Logue and produced by Zach Adam), is now available around the world on iTunes, Amazon, and wherever particularly fabulous mp3's are sold! We're so excited that you all will finally get to hear it, have it, and play it at parties, at the gym, in the car, and wherever you go!

Now it's time to make the video for it and get out and promote it. We'll be doing some promotional appearances and performances at clubs all around New York City in the coming weeks, so check out our tour calendar so you can see us live. We can't wait to meet you!

We're excited to announce that our first single, Party Girl, will be released around the world on January 1, 2011 at midnight! We thought 1.1.11 was a great date to release our first song. We can't wait for you all to hear it.

We're currently in the process of planning our first music video for Party Girl, and it should be pretty epic. We've got some great ideas floating around and we're talking to some amazing potential directors, choreographers and costume designers. Right now, we're trying to decide between a Coyote Ugly homage-themed video, or maybe something inspired by the outlaw parties that happened a lot in New York City in the nineties. It would be really fun to bring an XELLE party to a police precinct, or a senior citizens home, or an airplane. We'll see what happens...

 

Our first performance was so much fun! We were nervous, but as soon as the lights went down and our song came on, we couldn't wait to hit the stage and share the explosive show we'd prepared with the crowd. The performance was great and ended with a bang (and a confetti canon), and the audience loved us. Everybody wants to know where to get our song and when we're playing next, but we're going to keep them on their toes for a bit...

We are excited to announce that our very first performance ever as a group will happen on Sunday, October 17th at the Glammy Awards! This will be a huge event and we'll be performing in front of most of the NYC nightlife community.

We've been hard at work rehearsing with our dancers and choreographer and designing our stage outfits, and we can't wait to debut XELLE to the world! Wish us luck!
