Katrina And The Waves

We have Kimberly Rue with an EP called Stomping All Over the World.

That is Kimberly Rue of Katrina and the Waves.

Kimberly Rue was like the guitar player, I think.

And The Method Actors released This Is It, and they were an Athens band.

I love that song, and I can't believe that I got a brain freeze 'cause I absolutely know who sings this song.

It's Katrina and the Waves.

And no one's picked that.

In three seasons, no one's picked that, so kudos to you 'cause that actually makes me super happy as well.

It'll be the Yolanda Sanders leadership playlist.

You started with "Dear Mama" by Tupac, followed by "Starfish and Coffee" by our beloved Prince.

Then we went to "Ain't No Stopping Us Now", McFadden and Whitehead, "Stronger" by Kelly Clarkson, and "I Got That", Anthony Brown and Group Therapy, and our bonus song is "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves.

Yolanda Sanders, thank you for sharing your wisdom, sharing your story, sharing your pearls of just how you've actually been able to power through challenges and find joy.

Yeah.

And you know, we won with Katrina and the Waves in 1997.

I mean, that was obviously [laughs] quite a long time ago now.

[laughs] It's nearly, nearly 30 years.

I mean, there's royalties that when your song gets played, or if a, something you wrote gets played in a commercial.

I never will forget reading in Q Magazine once, the song c- Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves.

There was a guy that wrote that in the band, the guitarist, named Kimberly Rew.

It was a guy named Kimberly, and he gets, like, 500,000 pounds a year, every year, because Walking in Sunshine gets used in so many things.

Casey and the Sunshine Band, is that right?

No. Katrina and the Waves.

Katrina and the Waves.

Oh my God.

[laughs]

Um, I actually saw somebody describe it as genteel psychedelia.

[laughs] Um, you've got these shimmering layered guitars, uh, which I believe is Kimberley Rew from the Soft Boys, also from famously of, uh, Katrina and the Waves.

It seems to be, uh, you know, another meditation on desire, anxiety, and disconnection.

Uh, I really like R- Robyn when he, you know, sings in this, um, you know, the, this softer tone.

There are certain Prince songs that always put me in a certain mood.

There's what I call my happy song, which is, I think, Katrina and the Waves has one of those songs that I talked about before.

But I think a lot of the things would be the ones Scott called out.

I think, to me, this is a great example of... describing a system rather than a goal like if you just say i want to be happy you're not going to necessarily even know what to do or how to get there and it's not going to work but if you have a system like this where you can say okay here are the things here are the things i need to do if i want to be happy and if i focus on those things number one you have a little more control but you also just have a plan of action and things that you can do to make that happen.

But I remember as an agent going with another agent who's one of the biggest agents in the business now.

And we went to Danceteria to see a band called Katrina and the Waves.

And they weren't signed.

They had nothing out.
