	Eye Weekly - John Easdale - 08.06.98
		If you're John Easdale, ex-frontguy for almost-could've-beens Dramarama (in my very humble opinion one of the two or three great American rock 'n' roll bands of the past 20 years), the answer is a qualified yes.
		Easdale's dad responsibilities (he has four daughters) have led him to the day job of editor of a "modern rock" tip sheet, where he (cue ironic chorus) regularly prognosticates on the future of bands in the same position his old one was in.
		In playing most of the instruments and working slowly, Easdale says he was trying to recapture the spirit of the original group when it resided in Wayne, N.J., in the early '80s, back when he and his friends, rock 'n' roll fanatics all of them, just wanted so badly to be like their heroes.

	His Mother's Voice: Dennis Tupicoff's New Documentary
		Easdale begins narrating the night's events, and the scene is quickly transformed into a dark but colorful rotoscoped reminiscence, with thick lines and a flat color scheme reminiscent of Tupicoff's Darra Dogs.
		Easdale hears the news that something has happened, drives to the house, and discovers her son was shot.
		Kathy Easdale, I hope the film leaves the audience to imagine others, and to ponder its own response to her pain." The film itself tells the audience that what we see is not an absolute; the same events, narrated by the same person, can be observed, interpreted, and experienced in many different ways.

	Dramarama - Satan Stole My Teddybear
		Throughout the album, one gets the feeling that Easdale is being brutally honest with his lyrics and that sort of introspection and self-awareness is pretty unusual in rock music.
		Easdale is perhaps a bit of an acquired taste as his vocals border on being whiny, but with a couple listens, it's not noticeable.
		Easdale's lyrics read like a manual of his life, placing his emotions firmly on his sleeve and baring it for the world.

	Easdale, John - Satan Stole My Teddybear
		So anyhoo, Easdale (who did all the songwriting for Dramarama) has spent the past few years being a family man to his herd of daughters and only recently has ventured back into the musical world.
		Rather than resurrect what would be a dinosaur, Easdale has taken the minimalistic approach, handling nearly all the instruments on the record (with the help from a few of his friends).
		Overall, since Easdale isn't as accomplished of a musician as some of his former Dramarama mates, there is more of a garage feel and a rougher edge.

	Netherlorn and its Neighbourhood - Chapter II - Easdale
		The little island of Easdale, which lies 8 miles south-west of Oban, is, from an economic point of view, perhaps the most important part of the district.
		It is the centre of an extensive slate-quarrying industry; and while there are many slate quarries in the neighbourhood, those of Easdale, alike from the quality of the rock, the uniformity of bedding, and the long period during which the works have been carried on, are by far the most famous.
		The importance of the island of Easdale, however, has so completely eclipsed that of the neighbouring district, that to the stranger the combined villages particularly and the whole district generally is known as Easdale.

	John Easdale Review
		Easdale said he turned down offers from bigger companies, shy about the high-stakes record industry that bit him so badly in Dramarama.
		The dominant note on "Bright Side" is still the trademark, stringy, brink-of-a-breakdown cry that Easdale brought to Dramarama's five albums (although always tempered by a distancing, sanity-preserving sense of humor that comes through in caustically ironic wordplay).
		Easdale had formed a new band for live shows--with Dramarama alum Mark Englert and Craig Ballam on guitars, Tony Snow on drums and bassist Mike Davis--yet he decided to play most of the music himself.

		The industry was already well under way on Easdale Island itself by the mid 1500s, and more widely across the islands from 1745.

	John Easdale - Bright Side
		For his first solo album, Bright Side, John Easdale has crafted a powerful, passionate piece...a searing self-portrait...a gripping, groovy gas of a record...hot, cool, fast, slow, funny, bitter and, most of all, honest.
		Easdale, called "one of the finest singer/songwriters of these times" by The Los Angeles Times, was the leader of alterna-rock pioneers DRAMARAMA, who released five LPs and numerous live collections, EPs, compilation tracks and rarities packages.
		Easdale handled the lions share of the instrumentation on the album, making Bright Side a solo album in the true sense of the word.

		Along the same note, the three musicians went into “Train Going Backwards” because “Rich Robisnson [FM106.3 DJ] said he loved it, so we have to play it.” Although the mood was a bit somber, the energy level was high both on the stage and in the crowd.
		It is evident that Easdale has a cult following, as these songs have only been played at live gigs and fans still knew some words.

		Since recording the new album, Easdale has played shows in New Jersey, New York and California, drawing sold-out crowds on the left coast, while slowly building a name as a solo artist.
		Easdale's early career with Dramarama brought all the trappings of rock 'n' roll - - appearances on "Late Night with David Letterman" and MTV, the tours, the cheering crowds.
		Ironically, it was the changes in modern rock radio during the early '90s, the cookie-cutter approach he saw stations taking with the Top-40 market, that discouraged him from continuing in music in the first place.

		The new song is available to download as an MP3 on Dramarama frontman John Easdale's Web site (johneasdale.com) and includes lyrics penned by Easdale both mocking the circus that the state's gubernatorial race has become as well as Schwartzenegger's alleged history of sexual misconduct and making comments of admiration about Adolf Hitler.
		Easdale says that the song was a last-minute project, written and recorded on the fly on Sunday.
		In addition to providing a catchy platform for Easdale's thoughts on the election, the song also speaks to the resilience of the Kennedys' original, which sounds as urgent as it did when it was recorded twenty years ago.
