Hello, Gorgeous Hussies / Band celebrates indie record deal
Almost every young band dreams of the day when members quit their other jobs and devote themselves full time to their music career. With careful planning, Ogden's The Gorgeous Hussies went about making it happen. "Today -- June 15, 2009 -- is a huge day for us," said guitarist/vocalist Jordan Olsen on the day he spoke with the Standard-Examiner. "It is the last day of an 18-month goal we had to be a full-time band. We marked this day on the calendar back then and made a map of things we had to do. And we did it. I was the last to stop working outside the band, and it is now done.
