Well, we haven’t officially announced it, but you may have guessed it from our absence around the usual Brooklyn haunts… We’ve been working creatively at a residency this summer in Europe - Berlin and Normandie specifically - thanks to a very special gift in support of our art from the President of the Explorer’s Club! But soon we’ll be back, and are set to screen Hummingbird and introduce the NY world further to bio-pop at these events: The Vartali Salon on September 15th, and at The Explorer’s Club on October 4th. And as this cute article from the Women Diver’s Hall of Fame says, we will join Emily’s mom the famous explorer Anne Doubilet at these biodiversity-focused events. See you soon! <3, Ashlynn & Emily

Another clear statement from the UN for its 2010 Year of Biodiversity. Honor our resources, make them last.

“Do you notice and recognize miracles?”  Oh you preach it boys! This vid has us considering converting to Juggalette-ism.

In alliance with our bio-pop project which started with “Hummingbird,” our buddy Ed Norton (and the whole UN too, by the by) send this important message:

“Many people remain unaware that the earth is losing an incredible array of plant and animal life at an unprecedented and alarming rate…We must confront the indiffe…rence and often ignorance to the importance of biodiversity. More than ever humanity needs to reconnect with nature.”

I’ll admit - it was a coincidence. We didn’t realize, when we launched our new “bio-pop” project with “Hummingbird” that the UN had declared 2010 to be the official International Year of Biodiversity, complete with this totally nifty biodiversity website featuring leaders and celebrities giving educational and inspirational insight, articles on success stories, and a wealth of resources to learn about and support biodiversity, with the motto: “Biodiversity is life. Biodiversity is our life.”

So, the universe is aligned. Every outlet - from the political to business to POP CULTURE AND ENTERTAINMENT - has come out to join, as the UN says “a celebration of life on earth and of the value of biodiversity for our lives. The world is invited to take action in 2010 to safeguard the variety of life on earth: biodiversity.”

Jump in.

Our “Hummingbird” music video, filmed by Bad Brilliance, is now a featured video on National Geographic online! From MTV to National Geographic… which do you think is the cooler place to be featured? [that was a self-serving rhetorical question.. NG duh!!! - Ed note]

Here’s what Nat Geo had to say about the video: 

“Hummingbird” is the first single from Suspicious Package, with co-production and music video by artist Bad Brilliance. “Hummingbird” heralds the arrival of “bio-pop,” a genre coined by the Suspicious Package girls that uses pop music and entertainment to focus on pressing themes of biodiversity.

Together, we can have an unsigned girl duo beat out the big names on MTV for one day!

We’re already at number 15, just under ULTIMATE SUMMER JAM Usher’s “OMG” and right above DJ Khaled’s “All I Do is Win.”
