eWire :: spring 2001 :: The Allstonians (page 2 of 3) We are treated with respect in Boston but still, as a ska band, you are sort of treated as the little brother, the "not-so-serious" musicians because you play a silly, happy music called ska. How about this: Beatles, XTC, Frank Sinatra, punk, new wave...a real musician should be influenced by all genres of music or else he becomes a member of a band like The Romantics, nothing wrong with that band but they write the same stuff over and over and over and over and... The bigger the number of ska bands, the bigger the chances are that the band will suck. www.ewirezine.com /spring2001/allstonians/index2.shtml   (1014 words)

Chick Corea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia His father Armando, a jazz trumpet player who had led a Dixieland band in the Boston area in the 1930s and 1940s, introduced Chick to the piano around the age of five. Armando Anthony "Chick" Corea (born June 12, 1941) is an American jazz pianist/keyboardist and composer who is arguably best known for his work during the 1970s in the genre of jazz fusion, although his contributions to straight-ahead jazz have been tremendous. Among jazz pianists, Corea is widely acknowledged as one of the most influential since Bill Evans (along with Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner and Keith Jarrett). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Chick_Corea   (1807 words)

Bowdoin Orient A&E - Experimental rockers The List Exists prove it with new album With one of The Lists Exists' key players, Max Lewis, at Emerson College in Boston and the other three, Mirza Ramic '05, Lajoie, and his brother Chris '04, all at Bowdoin, practicing is infrequent. The List Exists marks ambient Icelandic band Sigur Ros as their main influence, while nodding at Portishead, Air, and Kid A-era Radiohead as other sources of inspiration. Even though their smooth, mesmerizing sound was programmed after performances from two heavy metal bands, the crowd's response was immediately positive, which proved both surprising and encouraging to the musicians. orient.bowdoin.edu /orient/archives/2004-02-27/ae06.htm   (511 words)

Goldenrod Music It is not surprising that her first self-titled CD was on the Boston Globe's top 10 list in 1986. Cheryl started making music at a young age, her first public performance was at the age of 12 and by 17 she started writing her own songs. These rockers are North Carolina natives and are the driving forces behind the queercore band revolution. www.goldenrod.com /custom/artists.htm   (1753 words)

flavorpill SF Born in Montego Bay, crooner/guitarist Wayne McGhie was one of many musicians who escaped the glut of talent in the island's nascent reggae industry of the mid-'60s by relocating to Toronto.

NewStandard: 11/30/97 Instead of doing traditional a cappella songs of the '50s, today's a cappella musicians cover artists like U2, Peter Gabriel and the Dave Matthews Band, while also pushing to do more originals that sound like what's playing on mainstream music stations. Although a cappella musicians view their vocals-only music as what sets them apart, contemporary practitioners of the art form don't want that to be the lasting image. Five O'Clock Shadow, a six-man a cappella group based in Boston, and others like it are part of a new generation of performers who have discarded the doo wop days for a more contemporary sound. www.s-t.com /daily/11-97/11-30-97/e08ae177.htm   (979 words)

UNo MAS: The Cramps, The Amazing Royal Crowns, The Bombardos - Bohager's, Baltimore, MD, 3/12/98 After an unending list of musicians (the first time I saw them it was 2nd drummer Nick Knox and rhythym guitarist Kid Congo Powers of Gun Club fame) they have apparently settled on drummer Harry Drumdini and bassist Slim Chance, who provide the band with a thunderous bottom end. Boston’s The Amazing Royal Crowns (not to be confused with L.A.’s own retro swing band The Royal Crown Revue) definitely had their work cut out for them. Singer Jason "King" Kendall, decked out in a "wife beater" to show off the prerequisite arm full of tattoos, which stretched almost as long as his sideburns, certainly had the required amount of machismo/bravado to front this type of group, basically taunting, if not daring, the audience not to like them. www.unomas.com /reviews/liveshow/reviews/item002.html   (1136 words)

Armstrong (Class of 1969, Flute): Joe moved to Boston in 1972 to teach the Alexander Technique to professional musicians and other performers in the area. Heading to a small mausoleum she pointed out Jack’s father’s grave, and after placing the flowers in water to replace some wilted ones already there, she showed us on the wall, her husband’s place, that of a daughter, which brought tears to her eyes, and the empty space at the top reserved for her. At the cemetery she found the gate locked and hurried back down the hill on foot, returning almost in a run with the key in her hand. www.msu.edu /user/levine/usafb/02dec.htm   (3855 words)

The Great Swing Band Arrangers In the early days of the XX century (the 'teens and early 1920s), arrangers mostly learned what they could on their own by experimenting and talking to other musicians, since there really were no books on "big-band" arranging at the time. His father was a violinist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and his mother was an accomplished cellist who had studied with Klengel at the Leipzig Conservatory. Much of the music we recall from the Big Band era, is remembered not because of the melody of the music, or the interest of the Lyric, but rather for the beauty of the Arrangments used by the Big Bands. www.nfo.net /usa/arranger.html   (11498 words)

Guster FAQ As with most musicians, Guster tends not to directly reveal the meanings of their songs, preferring instead to let the listener derive their own meaning. Following is a list of tunes Guster has covered live; the "Band" listed is the band best-known for the song in question, not necessarily the original writer. Guster is a Boston-area-based trio comprised of Adam Gardner (vocals, guitar, keys and cool shaky thing), Ryan Miller (vocals, guitar, bass, and occasionally piano and harmonica), and Brian Rosenworcel (percussion and rare vocals). www.vividgreen.net /guster/faq.html   (8716 words)
