In the summer of 2007, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen hosted a battle of the bands on their website mary-kateandashley.com. Canadian indie pop band Bad Flirt won with their fun, upbeat and original rock sound. After that, there didn’t seem to be much of an Olsen relationship with the band. The girls eventually launched their Song of the Week feature and didn’t host another Battle of the Bands this summer.

“It just happened,” vocalist Jasamine White-Gluz said in an interview with the National Post, about the Battle of the Band. “They had tweens vote (for the bands). It was the stupidest thing. But it was cool.”

Things have been good for Bad Flirt. They’ve become fairly well-known and have been touring constantly for the past two years. The National Post profiled them today and they revealed and interesting aspect of their relationship with DualStar I had never heard before-MK and Ashley were originally interested in managing Bad Flirt!

“For a while, the Olsen twins wanted to manage our band, then nothing,” Jasamine tells the Post. “They dropped us so fast. I guess they didn’t like us in the end. We did a low-budget video for them that never saw the light of day. Then, c’est tout.”

It sounds like this happened at the time MK and Ashley were looking at expanding their fashion empire and decided to take their company in that direction, as opposed to a musical one. There’s nothing wrong with that-these decisions are just business-but it’s too bad they didn’t explain it to Bad Flirt.

Not that it matters. They seem to be doing pretty well without any Olsen guidance!

I love the Song of the Week feature Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have on their website. It’s fun knowing what the girls listen to. However, they now want to get their fans involved so they can share their favorite music by letting you choose the Song of the Week.

It’s easy. All you have to do is leave a comment here with your song pick. If your song is chosen, your name and song will be posted on the site for all to see!

There’s a few rules about what kinds of songs are eligible, so be sure to read them before making your selection!

This is a music video for the song “The Olsen Twins Song.” The premise of the video (and the song!) is that this “normal” dude spent a week in Vegas with the girls and they did all the vulgar and inane things one is supposed to do when one is in Vegas–sex, drugs, rock and roll.

I’ll admit, I got the chorus (I spent a week in Vegas with the Olsen Twins…) stuck in my head for a bit. Not cool!
