<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color:black">Just one of them would be enough energy to light up Los Angeles. But even better, there’s two. Teenage sisters
<b>Jewel & Blaire Restaneo</b>, front-women of <b>Pixikill</b>, will release their first EP
<b><i>The Luring </i></b>on <b>June 21<sup>st</sup>.</b> The 5 song EP, which was executive produced by award winning multi-platinum songwriter/producer
<b>PJ Bianco</b> (Jonas Brothers, Metro Station), was written entirely by Jewel and Blaire and features their explosive first single
<b>“Chameleon.”</b> Check out the video for “Chameleon” <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grskY2IMyec">
HERE</a>, which the girls </span></span>produced, directed, and edited themselves. Before being able to truly appreciate the music though, you must know the origin of their namesake which the band credits to an unlikely source.<span style="color:black">
<i>“People often mistake Pixies for Fairies… In original folklore, Pixies are actually evil creatures. In our own sort of way ‘Pixikill’ is like fighting evil; it’s the superhero in us,”
</i>says the sisters. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color:black">Pixikill is music with a message. The lead single and album opener “Chameleon” jumps at you with its
</span></span><span style="color:black">fast-paced melody, boldly declaring to be your own person while the dark and tempestuous
<b>“Vampire”</b> isn’t so obvious says the sisters, <span class="apple-style-span">
<i>“We want to go beyond what’s typically being written about. A typical song is a love song or a party song. ‘Vampire’ is about depression, and lyrically it could be about a person suffering from depression, or it could be about the object that is pulling
them into depression. We like taking it to that level, and then leaving some gray area for the listener to think for themselves.”</i> Other notable songs include,
<b>“Your Highness”</b> which screams of empowerment and the beat heavy <b>“Riddle,”
</b>an anthem for being self confident.<b> </b></span></span><span class="apple-style-span"><b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color:black">Long before they were killing pixies, Jewel and Blaire were little country firecrackers growing up in a haunted old Stagecoach Inn outside of Pittsburgh,
PA. During many days spent alternately goofing off to the Spice Girls CDs, selling their own albums and donating the money to children’s hospitals, two things became clear: they were talented, and they had heart. This made them perfect fits for the national
touring company of<b><i> Annie</i></b>. After rocking the hard knock life, they adopted New York City as home while starring on Broadway in
<b><i>Annie Get Your Gun</i></b> and <b><i>A Christmas Carol</i></b>, along with making several appearances in kid roles on
<b><i>Saturday Night Live</i></b>. After four years in New York, Jewel and Blaire headed for Los Angeles, where they started playing guitar, writing original songs, and walking the road that led them to Pixikill.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="color:black">The crackling energy from the band is made up of Jewel and Blaire who handle the songwriting and arranging duties along with guitars, vocals, and synth,
while <b>Mike Kimchi</b> plays drums and <b>Victor Trevino</b> and <b>Chris Norwood
</b>multi-task with bass, guitar, keyboards, and synth. The bands collision of personality, experience, and feeling has marked Pixikill as ones to watch.<b><o:p></o:p></b></span></span></p>
