Active in the San Francisco music scene since the post-punk explosion of the mid-80\'s, both Rayburn and bassist Sally Engelfried comprised two-thirds of the folk-punk band Yo, who delighted audiences with their three independently released albums on Deadbeat and Enigma Records. Band member Christine Wall brings to the band sweet-tinged vocal harmonies which made her contributions to the last two Chris Isaak records (including the hit \"Wicked Game\") so memorable. Violinist John Tenney is a veteran of stage and record whose solid musicianship has been appreciated by the likes of XTC, Van Morrison, and Frank Sinatra, with whom he has played. Together El Sob\'s quirky mix of stark yet dense lyrics and sweet and brooding music comprises the unique sounds you will hear on this tape.

Combined with the unusual instrumention--squeaky pork chop, gargling, and animal noises--this discourse makes \"Skin a Cat\" one of El Sob\'s most popular live tunes. LYRICS Hey diddle the cat and the fiddle Stick it out on Chicken Little Lucy in the Sky and the Cat in the Hat Don\'t waste your time on things like that I ain\'t nothing like you I ain\'t nothing like you There\'s more than one way to skin a cat I live till I die and I can\'t come back Koo koo ca choo and the joke\'s on you Laugh in their face \'cause the things they do I ain\'t nothing like you I ain\'t nothing like you Do it like me, do it like me Do it like me It\'s better like me! Up in the sky with a thousand eyes Everyone\'s looking for love at first sight There\'s more than one way to skin a cat I live till I die and I can\'t come back I ain\'t nothing like you I ain\'t nothing like you Be more like me, be more like me Be more like me It\'s better like me! OTHER INFO (because we don\'t have any press reviews!) El Sob...and Stuff Folk-roots rockers El Sob coined the term \"Stuff Band\" to describe themselves because \"we\'re not afraid to play anything that might come our way while shopping at Thrift Town,\" says Christine Wall, who has been known to balance a cowbell, a glass of water for gargling, and a dog toy during the course of one song. \"I used to play a regular electric bass,\" adds Sally Engelfried, \"but I found it too limiting, so in searching for the right sound I had one made for me.\" The resulting one-of-a-kind instrument is striking in its piano-like resonance. \"I\'m devoted to El Sob because this is the only band that lets me shake my tookus in public,\" comments John Tenney, who sometimes takes a turn at tambourine and kazoo, in addition to his specialties of violin and mandolin. Bruce Rayburn, whose stuff most often comes from down-and-out cousins, has been known to write songs about stuff and his cousins. \"I got Christine\'s dumbek for her from an old girlfriend who owed me,\" says Rayburn gleefully.

The human eye looks for color and excitement, and the human body responds to tension and energy. Lead Pipe Cinch demands these reactions! Not even a year-old, this Seattle band quickly developed a sound and energy all it\'s own. \"Big Rock!\" says Abe Beason from 90.3 KCMU in Seattle. After a successful first demo which garnered college radio play throughout the Northwest, Lead Cinch Pipe has recorded 3 new songs that show the maturity and growth of the band. Winnipeg, Gun, and I Suspend, are new pieces which feature the diversity and excitement of their music. Lead Pipe Cinch has played with national acts, headlined it\'s own shows in Vancouver, B.C., Seattle, Ellensburg, Spokane, and performed live on Seattle college radio station KCMU. Soon to be exposed internationally through the Internet, Lead Pipe Cinch is creating a buzz throughout the underground. Hooky, melodic and heavy are operative adjectives for LPC\'s songs, which complement their assaulting, in your face live performance.

As a white male, he watched his fellow Anglo-Americans create and perpetuate racist, prejudiced and sexist ideals. With his self-produced debut of \"Organic Hard-Core\" Rap he is out to unsettle the status quo and give them a dose, from one of \"their own\", of something that they have been deaf to for far too long... the TRUTH. [11][the man himself] [12][record label log] Adam Bomb\'s rhymes defend individual freedom, attack authority and define true liberty which, to him, is more than just privileges for the advantaged few. His music throbs and grooves with funky samples, rock and funk inspired guitar tracks, keyboards, and live horns. \"Government, religion, and social standing are not excuses for racism, sexism, oppression and censorship by the powers that be,\" Adam Bomb says. \"The Constitution was a great document, in theory, but its ideals have not been afforded, to this day, to all men and womyn equally. It has never been anything more than a fairy tale to many of the people who in large part built this country, but have to ask permission to share the dream.\" His tracks confront everything from racist attitudes of the powers that be, to sexism and the failing two-party political system. \"Stand On Up\", inspired by a Malcolm X speech warn all races that things haven\'t changed enough to relax on any level, and that action like that of the 60\'s Civil Rights movement is still a must: \'Cause if you\'re sittin\' then you\'re just a sittin\' duck Lettin\' those who choose, bombs instead of schools Still vote for the sucker, if ya vote at all fool In \"Peacemaker, Soulshaker\", Adam Bomb serves up other ideologies he disdains -- misogyny, organized religion, bigotry and violence among all races of people who should be fighting the system rather than smoking dope, drinking \"40\'s\" and killing each other. \"The System\" calls for an end to the two-party system which as Adam Bomb sees it is a farce. \"Although the two groups make a lot of noise espousing different points of view, they are essentially the same. They have their own best interests in mind and the true needs of the masses are not even an issue\". My vision Destroy the institution With an urge ta purge suckers that are usin\' up the masses Mutha fuckin\' facists, I won\'t be passive Better believe I\'m down for somethin\' drastic... Enough of this evil Politicians gonna keep ya in submission till ya feeble \"Everybody Get-A-Gun\" takes a sarcastic swipe at those in our society who are obsessed with firearms. Mother don\'t cry, he only thought he was protecting you Not expecting to Take out his own son, with a cap from his own gun The same gatt we used ta shoot for fun... The Second Amendment Nothin\' more than a remnant of our past The Second Amendment Propaganda from a Klansmen in my path By attacking long since established views, values and philosophies, Adam Bomb is prepared for criticism from middle America. He is also prepared for the Hip-Hop and Rap communities to come at him as well by virtue of the fact that his skin is white. \"I\'ve seen it happen, and quite frankly in many cases, people got what they deserved. I feel my music is different. My lyrics are relevant and I am not wasting people\'s time to fill my pockets. It\'s people\'s minds I hope to help set free\". Realizing his passion for expressing himself through music at an early age, Adam Bomb formed a band with his brother when he was barely out of elementary school. He went from high school to study sound design at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. It was during his college years that Adam Bomb discovered a powerful from of expression that spoke to him and the ideals that he believed in vehemently. He walked in to a record store one day and knew that in Rap he had found his niche. \"I heard Public Enemy in a local store, and their message and delivery inspired me to change my outlook on music\", Adam Bomb recalls. \"Chuck D\'s lyrics were intelligent, deep and pertinent.\" Chuck D, KRS-1 and Ice Cube became his strongest Rap influences. Adam Bomb\'s first project was producing a young rapper named Stud B. As Adam Bomb learned about rap as an art form, he began producing tracks for both himself and Stud B, that were both political and original. Songs like \"Earth to the White Man\" and \"Proof is in the Pudding\", which was a reaction to the Rodney King beating, were results of the pairs collaboration. Now a resident of Los Angeles, Adam Bomb continues to grow and evolve as an artist. He keeps his ears, heart and mind open for innovative sounds and ideas and persists at expressing the truth, which he hopes will force those \"in charge\" to finally own up to their wrongs and relinquish the power to those who should have had it all along. _________________________________________________________________ Quotes and Other Stuff Exploding across the Net, North America, and Europe!

[10][Pipsqueaks logo] Biographical Information: In 1984 Lois LaFond had two of the most gorgeous, talented and astounding Children on the face of the earth, who were four and five years old. She searched high and low, in and out, up and down, by and through, far and wide, but couldn\'t find the kind of music she really liked made especially for Children (like smokin\' saxophones and percolatin\'percussion). So, being one to do whatever was necessary for those two most gorgeous, talented and astounding Children on the face of the earth, she decided to put out an album of her own with Reggae, Salsa, Blues,Ballads, Rock & Roll and African grooves. As she had been in the adult music scene for some number of years in the Boulder-Denver area, she had access to some of the greatest musicians to be found anywhere. And, as it worked out, in 1985, she had her third baby: I AM WHO I AM! This recording put her on the map as one of the premier American artists making modern music for young Children. At the same time she gathered four of Colorado\'s really rockin\' players and formed LOIS LaFOND & THE ROCKADILES -- one of the early five-piece bands to hit the road for Kids. Now this World Beat sound satisfied those two gorgeous, talented and astounding Children, who also composed many of the songs with LaFond. Soon LaFond found out that many other Children-- as well as their parents -- were absolutely thrilled with her recording. People said things like, \"I really don\'t mind that my Child plays this tape over and over and over and over and over and over. I really like it, too!\" Reviews poured in from all over the country from newspapers and magazines, parents and teachers, and -- most importantly -- from Kids. I AM WHO I AM! became a signature tune which put LaFond in the forefront of composing and producing songs of self-esteem and diversity -- years before they were the buzzwords of today. Classrooms started using the music, as did Spinabifida Centers, ARC Centers and Very Special Arts Festivals around the country. Encouraged by the response, LaFond decided to make another record in 1986. And another one in 1987. And another one in 1989. Each recording brought more rave reviews, positive comments and responses from publications like THE L.A.PARENT, PARENTS\' CHOICE, BILLBOARD MAGAZINE, DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE, GRAMMY MAGAZINE, American Library Association\'s BOOKLIST, PRE-K TODAY, MUSIC EDUCATOR\'S JOURNAL, SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL, Jill Jarnow\'s ALL EARS, Laurie Sale\'s GROWING UP WITH MUSIC .. . . In fact, there were so many reviews that there was no way to keep track of them anymore! LOIS LaFOND & THE ROCKADILES\' songs were played on RADIO AAHS, WE LIKE KIDS of KTOO, Alaska, PICKLEBERRY PIE out of Santa Cruz, WCBS-TV in New York, and on CONTINENTAL,LUFTHANSA, and DELTA Airlines Children\'s in-flight programming. Of course, people started calling for shows with the ROCKADILES. So they toured their original participatory concerts to thousands of Children from New York to Oregon and from Alaska to Florida at places like New York\'s CENTRAL PARK, HENRY STREET SETTLEMENT, and ST.PETER\'S CATHEDRAL. Then, in 1995, LaFond produced her fifth album, TURNING IT UPSIDE DOWN. So now the Rockin\' ROCKADILES\' concerts include songs from this new recording as well as I AM WHO I AM! and their very popular ONE WORLD. Soon LOIS LaFOND & THE ROCKADILES will be touring throughout COLORADO and in CHICAGO, NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, and WASHINGTON, D.C. If you are in these areas, they might just be able to come to your community. You can call HEATHER NOTO at AGENCY WEST (303-652-3421) to bring ROCKADILES to YOUR town -- wherever you are!! One thing Lois LaFond knows for sure is that every Child she gets to meet now is gorgeous, talented and astounding. BAND MEMBER LIST: LOIS LaFOND & THE ROCKADILES\' live show paints a rainbow of words that kids love, messages that parents appreciate, and great music that pulls it all together in the World Beat. Mother, singer, songwriter, producer, and speaker, LOIS LaFOND spent most of her life in the performance arts of dance, music, mime, and theatre, as well as teaching. Lois first made her mark in the adult world of music as vocalist and lyricist. She then brought her varied styles of music to the hearts of Children -- writing, producing, and recording five albums for Children and their families. Her sophisticated world music enjoys national acclaim from the L.A. PARENT and PARENTS\' CHOICE to BILLBOARD and DOWNBEAT magazines. Her songs appear on several international airlines and commercial and promotional videos. Her spoken voice is heard on voice-overs for video and radio productions as well as commercials. She is a featured speaker at NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE EDUCATION OF YOUNG CHILDREN Conferences and sits on the faculty of THE PEOPLES NETWORK. Her many years of experience in the disciplines of teaching, music, and the performing arts combine to create the ultimate in entertainment for the entire family. THE PLAYERS: Drummer GORDON KENNEDY has been a musical mainstay in the ROCKADILES. He is featured on all of LaFond\'s recordings and in her opinion, \"Gordon has everything: great rhythm, keen ears,and a wild sense of humour.\" Kennedy started drumming on potato chip cans at 13. Now his styles range from rock to freeform improvisation with his current band, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. His drumming credits include, as he says, \"Too many bands to be significant.\" He has opened for TALKING HEADS, THE RAMONES and KING SUNNY ADE. Kennedy says, \"With Children, there are no pretensions. It\'s just plain fun to work with THE ROCKADILES.\" Keyboardist REBECCA MARTIN began playing the piano at the age of six,and went on to earn a B.A. in Music and a Masters in Piano Performance and Pedagogy. Her talent for improvisation is seen in her jazz combo, THE REBECCA MARTIN TRIO, and the big band PANDAEMONIUM. She is an outstanding classical pianist who performs both solo and duet. She has taught piano for 21 years, specializing in the Suzuki method for young Children. Rebecca composed the piano music on LaFond\'s third tape SOMETHING NEW! Bassist CHICO MEIRA also plays guitar, sings and composes. He began studying guitar as an eight year old child in Rio de Janeiro. The traditional music of Brazil which he brings to the band encompasses Samba, Bossa Nova, Chorinho, and African as well as Brazilian rhythms. He played in many rock bands in his native country and was the major force behind the band PAO BRASIL providing both classical guitar and vocals. Currently, in addition to ROCKADILES, he plays bass and percussion with CONGUEROS DEL ALMA while working as a full time bio-engineer. Saxophonist MARK HARRIS has played everything from what he calls \"way-avante-honk-and- squeak music\" to the Colorado Symphony. Whatever the style, his preference is to play original music. His favorite style is world beat dance music with his band, MONKEY SIREN. Mark has played for shows with Bob Hope, Joe Williams, The Temptations, and Diane Schuur. He teaches sax at Metro State College of Denver and has appeared as a featured classical soloist with their wind ensemble. He performs on many recordings including those of Ron Miles, Fred Hess, and Janet Feder. He says, \"Kids are swell.\" MARK McCOIN has played drums and percussion for 25 years gaining a national reputation for his musical scoring, art installations, and sound designs across the country. He has performed in America, Indonesia and Singapore. Mark has composed numerous theatre and dance scores for the DENVER CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS and the DAVID TAYLOR DANCE COMPANY. He founded the DENVER GAMELAN and was co-producer of the highly successful NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO series, TERRA INFIRMA. Mark has composed numerous original soundscapes.

I just started thinking of the craziest combinations of words that started with the same letter. I like to pass on to kids some of what are called \"figures of speech\" in the English language, and this one is always a lot of fun. You can make up your own alliterations -- try any letter. \"One World\" originated as a song for adult audiences. Its groove has an mbaganga influence from South Africa, also called \"township jive.\" When recording my Children\'s album, I thought \"One World\" would be a great choice to include for kids since it always got a such a hearty response from dancing adults. I try not to do any less for kids than I do for adults. Press Reviews About TURNING IT UPSIDE DOWN (song included online): P.J. SWIFT, PICKLEBERRY PIE: \"This is miles above what most other people are doing right now.\" JILL JARNOW, ALL EARS: \"Maybe this one will finally make Lois LaFond the superstar she should be.\" JASON FELD, DISTRIBUTOR FOR HEADSTART: \". . . highly educational and valuable teaching tools in promoting self esteem, social/emotional development and the beauty of cultural diversity among young Children.\" Chosen for in-flight Children\'s programming on DELTA AIRLINES.

Merchandise Description: TURNING IT UPSIDE DOWN (LL-05c and LL-05cd) (Song \"Alliteration Sensation\" included online) In this hot new release, LaFond does turn it all upside down. Continuing in her tradition of cutting edge music, this new album replaces her big band sound with the essentials of music: vocals and percussion. LaFond has turned to an exciting array of over 40 percussion instruments from around the world including the Australian Didgeridoo, the Brazilian Berimbau and the American Washboard -- and everything in between. Singing of everything from numbers in three languages to a changeable creature named Zuppie, this recording also includes a parade, movement songs and a 5-minute relaxation process. PLUS, based on LaFond\'s highly successful workshop: \"USING MUSIC IN THE CLASSROOM: YOU DON\'T HAVE TO BE BEETHOVEN,\" she has compiled a manual of hands-on ideas for Parents and Teachers to use the songs to teach all the disciplines including Language, Math, Art, Imagination, and more. Hailed by teachers and parents and, especially, kids. Geared for the Child 4-7. Songlist: Celebrate! Alliteration Sensation Stop & Go Numbers All Around!

Blooz in Zb Anyway I Can Palmas Turn Around ONE WORLD (LL-04) (Available on CD for radio play or demo; soon to be publicly released on CD)(Song \"One World\" included online) Danceable, singable WORLD BEAT MUSIC for Children of all ages, this album was the first of its kind in the Children\'s market. Before Paul Simon\'s GRACELAND was released, the Rockadiles were writing Afro-Pop songs for the highly successful Denver dance band for adults, ORCHESTRA KING MAMA. This sound is captured on ONE WORLD, which includes African/Caribbean-influenced music styles such as soca and mbaganga, as well as blues, gospel, jazz, klezmer,reggae, and ballads. Geared for the Child of all ages. This percolating music will get the whole family moving and singing together from the first tune!

In the Gavin Report, musician Robyn Hitchcock named Scissors one of his top ten favorites along with albums by Roxy Music, REM, Richard Thompson, and Elvis Costello. The Village Voice said \"Barbara Manning can make waves in a sea of sarcasm with introspective pretty songs about heavy shit. Her voice makes the edge seem like a place to warm yourself....her Nick Drake dread was cut with punk derision, her Suzanne Vega lilt was frosted with anxiety and her folky ear was full of Wire and the Fall.\" Scissors, originally released in 1988 on vinyl, was out of print for several years. As a special bonus, the CD and cassette formats of One Perfect Green Blanket includes all ten cuts from the Scissors LP as well. Guest musicians helping out on the album include Kim Osterwalder from Flophouse on cello, Melanie Clarin from Harm Farm on drums, and Steve Michner from Big Dipper on bass. Barbara has developed a strong cult following over the past several years with her frequent live shows on both coasts. Barabara\'s music is regularly heard on college radio across the country.

I give God all the glory for my inspiration and I am sure there are many that claim inspiration, but the Book of James says that every good and perfect gift comes from the Father, and what perfection there is in my music is a gift from the God of the United States. It usually takes me between 10 and 20 minutes to write a song, usually less, and I rarely have corrections to make, only minor ones, a conjunction or the like. I am 55 this July, should the Lord let me continue to live, and am co-owner in a dental laboratory with my husband. I have run for office three times, holding up the principes of free enterprise which made this nation great and which will explain my concern for a real market, I am founder of a publishing company and missionary society, again in conjunction with my wonderful husband and am an ordained minister of the gospel. I have a daughter and a son, two step-daughters and beloved grandchildren. I have dedicated my life to rebuilding America with a special dedication and burden of bringing glory to my forefathers of God\'s music. I have written over 200 songs and poems, but find that the stronghold of merchandising control makes it nearly impossible to promote any music beyond what is according to someone\'s preplanned agenda. The old saying says, \"Let me write the music of the nation, and I care not who writes the laws.\" I will continue to write and trust God to punish thieves and make them pay back fourfold, in this life, as well as in eternity.

I don\'t like to define my style because I have always felt that was someone else\'s job. I like to write about things I feel passionate about and communicate my feelings through songwriting. I think my music is unique because although I\'d like a career in music, that is not my motivation. Making music is very spiritual and songs are like prayers for me. My songs are always analytical, sometimes topical and occasionally political because I want the listeners to get emotional about, think about or get angry about a subject they were previously unfamiliar with. I think a good song can get under your skin and bring up emotions you never knew were there.

The idea was to make my voice not only sing the lyrics but also sound like a guitar. Then for the guitar to tell the rest of the story when I stopped singing the lyrics. I\'m very proud of this production because it\'s the first record I produced that sounds exactly the way I wanted it to sound. I also incorporated elements of \"Hey Joe\" and other Hendrix riffs into this song. America: I wanted this to sound like it\'s coming from the point of view of a Native American which is why I used tribal drum sounds. This is combined with military marching band sounds because the song is about how greed, power and the desire for world domination can destroy a beautiful country.

Her debut recording Point of Departure was described by a New York radio personality as \"Tom Waits meets Tracey Ullman.\" (Huh?) See, it\'s not quite pop, not quite jazz, not quite blues, not quite folk -- and yet, a little of each. And some of it\'s kind of, well ... funny. What\'s a radio programmer to do? Well ... play it! And they have ... at WXPN in Philadelphia ... WGBH in Boston ... the \"Z-100 Morning Zoo\" in New York city ... KSER in Seattle... even Radio Riga in Latvia! (Yes, Latvia.) And listeners love it. On Point of Departure Mary Ellen and producer Paul Guzzone are more musically extravagant than is currently feasible in her live shows. Here, the Patty Larkin song \"Caffeine\" is a full-fledged big-band number. Other tracks feature (live, not sampled) Brazilian percussion, horn sections, even bird calls. (Okay, the bird calls are sampled -- with permission, of course.) \"We tried desperately to use every musician in New York,\" Mary Ellen says of the undertaking. \"We didn\'t, but you still get your money\'s worth.\" Mary Ellen has been playing live at such Northeast clubs as The Iron Horse Music Hall in Northampton, MA; The Godfrey Daniels in Bethlehem, PA; The Bitter End in New York city, The Towne Crier in Pawling, NY and other folk clubs, coffee houses, jazz & blues rooms, theaters and festivals. She\'s opened shows for Richie Havens, Tom Paxton, John Sebastian and Saffire: Uppity Blues Women. Backed by keyboards and bass/acoustic guitar (and sometimes violin), her concerts center mostly on rootsy blues and jazz, bittersweet ballads and her signature \"wacky production numbers.\" \"Caffeine\" has become one of these and so has the John Prine/Fred Koller collaboration \"Let\'s Talk Dirty in Hawaiian.\" Recently some original tunes have entered this category as well. \"My mission is to disprove the theory that no one ever laughs in a folk club,\" she states. \"I\'ll be working on jazz clubs next.\" Order NOW! Point of Departure featuring \"Sugar Reef\" is available on CD and cassette. Also available is the incredibly cool Mary Ellen Bernard T-Shirt! Call FREE!

Originating from the Bay Area, which has provided a breeding ground for several top-notch Industrial groups that have become major forces in the international world of music, God Dog is one of the newer \"Tech Metal\" groups to burst upon the scene. God Dog consists of the electronic and vocal talents of Steve Severino and guitarist/programmer, Mike Vaughn. The two have been working extensively since the fall of 1993 and have released a full-length independent CD, \"Of Love, Death and Blood\", as well as performing several live shows. The self professed goal of God Dog is to take the combination of metal and electronic technology to areas yet to be explored. Their sound takes this union and manipulates it in a way that is innovative and exciting yet not experimental in terms of song structure and melody. God Dog will appeal to people who like to hear Industrial music through a straight line rather than a jagged tunnel. With the addition of drummer, programmer and synth master, Ben Padilla, God Dog are expanding their live shows and adding a plethora of new sounds and styles to new material while maintaining their Industrial edge. Emphasis on diversity and quality, a commitment to integrity, a concentrated effort toward constant productivity and a growing loyal fan base mean God Dog will be around for years to come. Band info and the full-length 50min CD release, GOD DOG \"Of Love, Death, and Blood\" is available by writing: GOD DOG: PO BOX 1124 SOQUEL, CA 95073 EMISSION: Emission, showcasing the talents of God Dog, is a combination of heavy guitar and driving beats interspersed with quieter moments of synth and programming orchestration. The track is further enhanced by layers of electronic mayhem. The songs lyrics, delivered in a heavily distorted yet unique Industrial vocal style are about individuality and personal expression while not getting weighed down by the opinions and expectations of others. An over all intense and aggressive song, God Dog feel it is one of the stronger tracks off their new full-length independent CD release \"Of Love, Death, and Blood\". ======= [13][Fine Oak Finished Toolbar] Copyright (C) 1995 Internet Underground Music Archive References 1. file://localhost/IUMA-2.0/ads/html/musase/edu-16.html 2. file://localhost/IUMA-2.0/ftmp/lv0/IUMA/ftp/music/God_Dog/index.html 3. file://localhost/ad-bin/redirect?musase 4. file://localhost/IUMA-2.0/olas/sponsor/sponsor.html 5. http://www.iuma.com/IUMA-2.0/ftp/volume3/God_Dog/mono-excerpt-Emission.au 6. http://www.iuma.com/IUMA-2.0/ftp/volume3/God_Dog/mono-excerpt-Emission.mp2 7. http://www.iuma.com/IUMA-2.0/ftp/volume3/God_Dog/mono-Emission.mp2 8. http://www.iuma.com/IUMA-2.0/ftp/volume3/God_Dog/stereo-Emission.mp2 9. http://www.iuma.com/IUMA-2.0/olas/genre/HC_003.html#God_Dog 10. http://www.iuma.com/IUMA-2.0/olas/genre/HM_002.html#God_Dog 11. http://www.iuma.com/iuma-bin/view-ola-comment.pl?God_Dog 12. http://www.iuma.com/iuma-bin/buy.pl?init=God_Dog 13. http://www.iuma.com/iuma-bin/nimagemap/IUMA-2.0/imaps/bandage-toolbar.map',cold 59,'FRAME: [1]insert FRAME: [2]content [3][banner.gif] [4][bumper-gray.gif] _________________________________________________________________ Distant Cousins [5][sm-Distant_Cousins.gif] Elvis Did Karate [6][AU Excerpt] [7][MPEG Mono Excerpt] [8][MPEG Mono] [9][MPEG Stereo] (Excerpt 120k, 120k / Full song 2.5 mins, 2.02M, 2.70M) [10]College/Indie/Lo-Fi, [11]Pop ----------------------------------------------------------------- [ [12]|| Comments & Reviews ] Only rarely does one come upon a distant relative that at once becomes a familiar friend, possessing shared secrets that never cease to beguile. Such is the case of Twice Removed, the astonishingly mature debut from New York\'s distant cousins. Like their moniker, distant cousins are lower case in an upper-case world, a unique school of fish ready to burst out of a big pond with the eclectic bag of tricks they display on Twice Removed. First of all, these cousins are slyly deceptive. While the playful cover art and buoyant, rambling rhythms first suggest a party band, on closer inspection Twice Removed\'s songs have dark roots that add depth to their danceability. The album\'s opener, the raucous \"Elvis Did Karate\" is a camp classic, but singer/songwriter/guitarist Catherine Dail\'s husky wail imparts a simmering sensuality that\'s more Chrissie Hynde than downtown dilettante. And \"Gotta Fly,\" opening with awkward, tentative bass notes reminiscent of Talking Head\'s \"Psycho Killer,\" turns into a Beatlesque rocker that details the ups and downs of an obsessive relationship that refuses to end. Even \"Tambourine Girl\" a seemingly innocuous song propelled by bright vocals and upbeat island riddims, describes a lovable misfit unable to fit in, who \"does not play the tuba, no no, because it weighs too much/And when it comes to guitar playin\' that girl ain\'t got the touch.\" Where distant cousins truly impress is their effortless ability to shift between many musical styles, often within the same song. Twice Removed ranges from the chicken-scratch guitar and blue-eyed soul of \"Pony\" (where Dail strongly tells her lover \"don\'t ride me baby, I\'m not your pony\") to sophisticated, jazzy pop like the smoky \"Three Things\" and quietly longing \"Love\'s Here Now\". distant cousins even manage to make having the \"Minnesota Blues\" sound like fun; combining a humorous confessional with bar-band boogie, \"Minnesota Blues\" suggests an unholy alliance between Laurie Anderson and the Spin Doctors. Underscoring the masterful songwriting is distant cousins\' familial musical virtuosity. On \"Elvis Did Karate\" lead guitarist Jon Diamond brings a hard, bluesy swagger to his soloing, then switches to a mariachi stroll on \"Burning Words.\" As well, Joe \"Mama\" Holland\'s harmonica provides a questioning counterpoint to the lyrics on \"No Exception\" and Fred Gildes\' subtle trombone shadings on \"Pony\" suggest an indecision hiding behind Dail\'s outwardly tough stance. When necessary, distant cousins aren\'t afraid to bring in bongos, timbales, organ or piano to flesh out an already well-fed groove. And they\'re no strangers to technology, either - check out the off-kilter samples that ornament the otherworldly jam session \"Lucky Magnet.\" Recalling both the past and the future, distant cousins appear comfortable in their uncategorizable but homey place in-between the in-betweens. And from the sound of Twice Removed, these cousins won\'t be distant for long. Be sure to bring the family. _________________________________________________________________ distant cousins\' \"Twice Removed\" has really hit the college radio waves with great success across the country. The band has been on the road early in \'94 from ski and college gigs in Vermont and New Hampshire to rockin\' club dates in Boston, Philly, D.C. and elsewhere. On their home turf of New York City, the cousins have played to raving crowds at China Club, CBGCs, Wetlands, Village Gate, Lone Star, Bitter End, etc!
