Railroad Earth
Railroad Earth
There's a great scene in The Last Waltz the documentary about The Band's final concert where director Martin Scorsese is discussing music with drummer/singer/mandolin player Levon Helm. Helm says, "If it mixes with rhythm, and if it dances, then you've got a great combination of all those different kinds of music: country, bluegrass, blues music, show music"To which Scorsese, the inquisitive interviewer, asks, "What's it called, then?""Rock & roll!"Clearly looking for a more specific answer, but realizing that he isn't going to get one, Marty laughs. "Rock & roll"Well, that's the way it is sometimes: musicians play music, and don't necessarily worry about where it gets filed. It's the writers, record labels, managers, etc., who tend to fret about what "kind" of music it is.And like The Band, the members of Railroad Earth aren't losing sleep about what "kind" of music they play they just play it. When they started out in 2001, they were a bunch of guys interested in playing acoustic instruments together. As Railroad Earth violin/vocalist Tim Carbone recalls, "All of us had been playing in various projects for years, and many of us had played together in different projects. But this time, we found ourselves all available at the same time."Songwriter/lead vocalist Todd Sheaffer continues, "When we started, we only loosely had the idea of getting together and playing some music. It started that informally; just getting together and doing some picking and playing. Over a couple of month period, we started working on some original songs, as well as playing some covers that we thought would be fun to play." Shortly thereafter, they took five songs from their budding repertoire into a studio and knocked out a demo in just two days. Their soon-to-be manager sent that demo to a few festivals, and to the band's surprise they were booked at the prestigious Telluride Bluegrass Festival before they'd even played their first gig. This prompted them to quickly go in and record five more songs; the ten combined tracks of which made up their debut album, "The Black Bear Sessions."That was the beginning of Railroad Earth's journey: since those early days, they've gone on to release five more critically acclaimed studio albums and one hugely popular live one called, "Elko." They've also amassed a huge and loyal fanbase who turn up to support them in every corner of the country, and often take advantage of the band's liberal taping and photo policy. But Railroad Earth bristle at the notion of being lumped into any one "scene." Not out of animosity for any other artists: it's just that they don't find the labels very useful. As Carbone points out, "We use unique acoustic instrumentation, but we're definitely not a bluegrass or country band, which sometimes leaves music writers confused as to how to categorize us. We're essentially playing rock on acoustic instruments."Ultimately, Railroad Earth's music is driven by the remarkable songs of front-man, Todd Sheaffer, and is delivered with seamless arrangements and superb musicianship courtesy of all six band members. As mandolin/bouzouki player John Skehan points out, "Our M.O. has always been that we can improvise all day long, but we only do it in service to the song. There are a lot of songs that, when we play them live, we adhere to the arrangement from the record. And other songs, in the nature and the spirit of the song, everyone knows we can kind of take flight on them." Sheaffer continues: "The songs are our focus, our focal point; it all starts right there. Anything else just comments on the songs and gives them color. Some songs are more open than others. They 'want' to be approached that way where we can explore and trade musical ideas and open them up to different territories. But sometimes it is what the song is about."So: they can jam with the best of them and they have some bluegrass influences, but they use drums and amplifiers (somewhat taboo in the bluegrass world). What kind of music is it then? Mandolin/vocalist John Skehan offers this semi-descriptive term: "I always describe it as a string band, but an amplified string band with drums." Tim Carbone takes a swing: "We're a Country & Eastern band! " Todd Sheaffer offers "A souped-up string band? I don't know. I'm not good at this." Or, as a great drummer/singer/mandolin player with an appreciation for Americana once said: "Rock & roll!"

An Evening With Buddy Guy
An Evening With Buddy Guy

An Evening With Seven Time Grammy Winner Buddy Guy At age 79, Buddy Guy is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, a major influence on rock titans like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, a pioneer of Chicago's fabled West Side sound, and a living link to the city's halcyon days of electric blues. Buddy Guy has received 7 GRAMMY Awards, a 2015 Lifetime Achievement GRAMMY Award, 34 Blues Music Awards (the most any artist has received), the Billboard Magazine Century Award for distinguished artistic achievement, a Kennedy Center Honor, and the Presidential National Medal of Arts. Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him #23 in its "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time."
Buddy Guy released his brand new studio album Born To Play Guitar on July 31, 2015 via Silvertone/RCA Records, which debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top Blues Albums chart. The follow-up to his 2013 first-ever double disc release, Rhythm & Blues, which also debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top Blues Albums chart, Born To Play Guitar is produced by GRAMMY Award winning producer/songwriter and Buddy's longtime collaborator Tom Hambridge. The new release features guest appearances by Van Morrison, Joss Stone, Kim Wilson and Billy Gibbons.
Though Buddy Guy will forever be associated with Chicago, his story actually begins in Louisiana. One of five children, he was born in 1936 to a sharecropper's family and raised on a plantation near the small town of Lettsworth, located some 140 miles northwest of New Orleans. Buddy was just seven years old when he fashioned his first makeshift "guitar"—a two-string contraption attached to a piece of wood and secured with his mother's hairpins.
In 1957, he took his guitar to Chicago, where he would permanently alter the direction of the instrument, first on numerous sessions for Chess Records playing alongside Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, and the rest of the label's legendary roster, and then on recordings of his own. His incendiary style left its mark on guitarists from Jimmy Page to John Mayer. "He was for me what Elvis was probably like for other people," said Eric Clapton at Guy's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2005. "My course was set, and he was my pilot."
Seven years later, July 2012 proved to be one of Buddy Guy's most remarkable years ever. He was awarded the 2012 Kennedy Center Honor for his lifetime contribution to American culture; earlier in the year, at a performance at the White House, he even persuaded President Obama to join him on a chorus of "Sweet Home Chicago." Also in 2012, he published his long-awaited memoir, When I Left Home.
These many years later, Buddy Guy is a genuine American treasure and one of the final surviving connections to an historic era in the country's musical evolution. He keeps looking to the future of the blues through his ongoing work with his 16-year-old protégé, Quinn Sullivan.
"I worry a lot about the legacy of Muddy, Wolf, and all the guys who created this stuff," he says. "I want people to remember them. It's like the Ford car—Henry Ford invented the Ford car, and regardless how much technology they got on them now, you still have that little sign that says 'Ford' on the front.
"One of the last things Muddy Waters told me—when I found out how ill he was, I gave him a call and said, 'I'm on my way to your house.' And he said, 'Don't come out here, I'm doing all right. Just keep the damn blues alive.' They all told me that if they left here before I did, then everything was going to be on my shoulders. So as long as I'm here, I'm going to do whatever I can to keep it alive."

John Mayall
John Mayall
For over 50 years, John Mayall has served as a pioneer of blues music, rightly earning him the title, "The Godfather of British Blues." In 2013, John signed with producer Eric Corne's label, Forty Below Records, and has since been experiencing a true artistic and career renaissance.This revival continues with the release of a brilliant new studio album titled 'Find a Way to Care', produced by John and Eric at famed House of Blues Studios in Encino, California. About the new album, Corne says, "I really wanted to feature John's keyboard playing on this record. He's truly one of the most lyrical, economical and underrated keyboardists around. We also wanted to change things up a bit after the success of "A Special Life" and the addition of a horn section on several tracks was a really fun way to do that. As good as the last album was, I think this one is even better."On the new album, John adds harmonica on two songs, as well as a classic guitar track reminiscent of Hubert Sumlin or Muddy Waters on the latter's legendary "Long Distance Call." He is joined by his killer touring band: Rocky Athas (guitar), Greg Rzab (bass) and Jay Davenport (drums). The release of "Find a Way to Care" comes on the heels of Mayall's internationally-acclaimed, "A Special Life" in released in 2014. "I'd easily put this one among Mayall's best efforts - and that includes 'Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton,' 'A Hard Road' and 'Blues from Laurel Canyon!'" (about.com)Earlier this year, John and Forty Below thrilled the blues world with the release of the historical Bluesbreakers album, 'Live In 1967', featuring the three original members of Fleetwood Mac, Peter Green, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood. "Sunken treasure doesn't get much better" (Classic Rock Magazine). A second set is slated for a 2016 release.John Mayall was born on the 29th of November 1933 and grew up in a village not too far from Manchester, England. It was here as a teenager that he first became attracted to jazz and blues 78s in his father's record collection. Initially it was all about guitarists such as Lonnie Johnson, Brownie McGhee, Josh White and Leadbelly. However once he heard the sounds of boogie woogie piano giants Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson and Meade Lux Lewis, his desire to play in that style was all he could think of. At the age of 14 when he went to Manchester's Junior School of Art, he had access to a piano for the first time and he began to learn the basics of this exciting music. He also found time to continue learning the guitar and a couple of years later, the harmonica, inspired by Sonny Terry, Sonny Boy Williamson and Little Walter.After his two years at art school, he joined the art department of a major department store while starting to build up his own record collection that was to be his source of inspiration to play the blues. At age eighteen when he was due for National Service he spent three years in the Royal Engineers as an office clerk in the south of England and in Korea all the time playing whenever he got a chance. As no-one seemed to be interested in this type of music, John felt pretty much of an outsider throughout his twenties until 1962 when the news broke in the British music magazine Melody Maker that Alexis Korner and Cyril Davies had opened a club in Ealing devoted to blues music. After Britain's ten year traditional jazz boom had about run its course, a new generation was ready for something new. Out came the amplifiers, guitars and harmonicas and out came young enthusiasts from all over the country eager to sit in and form their own groups.This was all the encouragement thirty-year old John needed and, giving up his graphic design job, he moved from Manchester to London and began putting musicians together under the banner of the Bluesbreakers. Although things were rough at first, the music quickly took off thanks to the popularity of the Rolling Stones, Georgie Fame, Manfred Mann, The Animals and Spencer Davis with a young Steve Winwood. John also backed blues greats John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker, and Sonny Boy Williamson on their first English club tours.After a couple of years and many personnel changes, Eric Clapton quit the Yardbirds and John quickly offered him the job as his new guitarist. Although John had previously released a couple of singles and a live LP for Decca, the now classic collaboration between Eric and John resulted in the all-time best-selling classic album, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers featuring Eric Clapton. However, by the time it was entering the charts, Clapton and bassist Jack Bruce had left to form Cream. So began a succession of future stars who would define their roots under John's leadership before leaving to form their own groups. Peter Green, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood became Fleetwood Mac. Andy Fraser formed Free, and Mick Taylor joined the Rolling Stones.In 1969, with his popularity blossoming in the USA, John caused somewhat of a stir with the release of a drummer-less acoustic live album entitled The Turning Point, from which his song, "Room To Move" was destined to become a rock classic. He received a gold record for this album. Attracted by the West Coast climate and culture, John then made his permanent move from England to Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles and began forming bands with American musicians. Throughout the '70s, John became further revered for his many jazz/rock/blues innovations featuring such notable performers as Blue Mitchell, Red Holloway, Larry Taylor, and Harvey Mandel.In 1982, motivated by nostalgia and fond memories, John decided to re-form the original Bluesbreakers. Mick Fleetwood was unavailable at the time so John hired drummer Colin Allen to join with John McVie and Mick Taylor for a couple of tours and a video concert film entitled Blues Alive. Featured greats were Albert King, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells and Etta James. By the time Mick and John had returned to their respective careers, public reaction had convinced Mayall that he should honor his driving blues roots. In Los Angeles, he selected his choices for a new incarnation of the Bluesbreakers. Officially launched in 1984, it included future stars in their own right, guitarists Coco Montoya and Walter Trout.Throughout the eighties and nineties, John's popularity went from strength to strength with a succession of dynamic albums such as Behind The Iron Curtain, Chicago Line, A Sense of Place, and the Grammy-nominated Wake Up Call that featured guest artists Buddy Guy, Mavis Staples, Albert Collins and Mick Taylor.In 1993, Texas guitarist Buddy Whittington joined the Bluesbreakers and for the next ten years energized the band with his unique and fiery ideas. Making his recording debut on Mayall's Spinning Coin album, he proved to be more than equal to following in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessors. Other modern classics followed. Blues For the Lost Days and Padlock On The Blues, the latter co-produced by John and his wife Maggie, featured a rare collaboration with his close friend John Lee Hooker. On Along For The Ride, Mayall re-teamed with a number of his former mates, including Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, as well as ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, Steve Miller, Billy Preston, Steve Cropper, Otis Rush, Gary Moore and Jeff Healey. The younger generation was well represented by teenage guitar sensations Shannon Curfman and Jonny Lang. In 2002, Stories debuted the Billboard blues charts at #1.At a 70th Birthday celebration in aid of UNICEF in Liverpool, a concert was filmed, recorded and released as a DVD and double CD in December 2003. Along with the Bluesbreakers, it featured old friends Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor and Chris Barber. The BBC also aired an hour-long documentary on John's life and career entitled The Godfather of British Blues and to coincide with the release of Road Dogs in 2005, John was awarded an OBE by The Queen's Honours list. In the Spring of 2007, John Mayall's 56th album release, In The Palace Of The King, was an entire studio album that honored and paid tribute to the music of Mayall's long-time hero of the blues, Freddie King. All garnered great reviews, critical and popular acclaim and represent Mayall's ongoing mastery of the blues and his continuing importance in contemporary music.In addition, over the last ten years, Mayall released live recordings on his own online label, Private Stash Records. (Some still available from his website johnmayall.com. They included Time Capsule (containing historic 1957-62 live tapes), UK Tour 2K, (from a 2000 British tour), Boogie Woogie Man, (a selection of solo performances), Cookin' Down Under, (a live DVD from Australia) No Days Off, (another British live show) and a 3 volume set of Historic Live Shows.By October 2008, the years of heavy touring were beginning to take their toll on John and he reluctantly announced his decision to take an indefinite break and permanently retire the name "Bluesbreakers." It was a sad occasion to say farewell to Buddy and the guys after twenty years of great music and camaraderie but things had reached another turning point. This caused quite a stir in blues circles and led to rumors about total retirement. Happily for the fans, early in 2009 Eagle Records called upon John to come up with a new album. Feeling much revived after months away from music, he put together a new band for the project.A few years ago, Buddy Whittington had introduced John to a fellow Texas guitarist, Rocky Athas and he recalled how impressed he'd been at the time. Luckily he answered the call and was eager to come on board for the proposed album. With the need for a rhythm section of dynamic strength, John turned to bassist Greg Rzab who recommended his fellow Chicagoan Jay Davenport on drums. Finally, the three guys were put together with keyboardist Tom Canning and within two days of meeting up in Los Angeles, the album Tough was in the can. It had taken all of three days in the studio and ever since its release and a growing schedule of world tours, a new era was born. Soon after its release Tom left to pursue other projects.A leaner four piece line-up gave John more room to stretch out as an instrumentalist and the band's chemistry hit new heights.For the next five years (and counting) John and the band continue to tour extensively. After being invited to do a guest spot on Walter Trout's latest album, John met engineer/producer Eric Corne. John was so impressed that he asked Eric to record his new album 'A Special Life', Greg, Jay and Rocky flew in for the sessions which took less than a week to record and the end result is one of John's best albums ever, with it's deep devotion to blues and roots music. The album was released May 13, 2014 to rave reviews, followed by an extensive 80th Birthday Celebration Tour of North America, Europe and The UK.Following up on 'A Special Life' and the 2015 releases, 'Find A Way To Care' and 'Live in 1967', Forty Below Records plans to release 'Live In 1967 Volume II' in 2016, and a new studio album is also in the works.Today, John can safely say he's never been happier with his band and career and the road continues.

The release of "Find a Way to Care" comes on the heels of Mayall's internationally-acclaimed, "A Special Life" in released in 2014. "I'd easily put this one among Mayall's best efforts - and that includes 'Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton,' 'A Hard Road' and 'Blues from Laurel Canyon!'" (about.com)Earlier this year, John and Forty Below thrilled the blues world with the release of the historical Bluesbreakers album, 'Live In 1967', featuring the three original members of Fleetwood Mac, Peter Green, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood. "Sunken treasure doesn't get much better" (Classic Rock Magazine). A second set is slated for a 2016 release.John Mayall was born on the 29th of November 1933 and grew up in a village not too far from Manchester, England. It was here as a teenager that he first became attracted to jazz and blues 78s in his father's record collection. Initially it was all about guitarists such as Lonnie Johnson, Brownie McGhee, Josh White and Leadbelly. However once he heard the sounds of boogie woogie piano giants Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson and Meade Lux Lewis, his desire to play in that style was all he could think of. At the age of 14 when he went to Manchester's Junior School of Art, he had access to a piano for the first time and he began to learn the basics of this exciting music. He also found time to continue learning the guitar and a couple of years later, the harmonica, inspired by Sonny Terry, Sonny Boy Williamson and Little Walter.After his two years at art school, he joined the art department of a major department store while starting to build up his own record collection that was to be his source of inspiration to play the blues. At age eighteen when he was due for National Service he spent three years in the Royal Engineers as an office clerk in the south of England and in Korea all the time playing whenever he got a chance. As no-one seemed to be interested in this type of music, John felt pretty much of an outsider throughout his twenties until 1962 when the news broke in the British music magazine Melody Maker that Alexis Korner and Cyril Davies had opened a club in Ealing devoted to blues music. After Britain's ten year traditional jazz boom had about run its course, a new generation was ready for something new. Out came the amplifiers, guitars and harmonicas and out came young enthusiasts from all over the country eager to sit in and form their own groups.This was all the encouragement thirty-year old John needed and, giving up his graphic design job, he moved from Manchester to London and began putting musicians together under the banner of the Bluesbreakers. Although things were rough at first, the music quickly took off thanks to the popularity of the Rolling Stones, Georgie Fame, Manfred Mann, The Animals and Spencer Davis with a young Steve Winwood. John also backed blues greats John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker, and Sonny Boy Williamson on their first English club tours.After a couple of years and many personnel changes, Eric Clapton quit the Yardbirds and John quickly offered him the job as his new guitarist. Although John had previously released a couple of singles and a live LP for Decca, the now classic collaboration between Eric and John resulted in the all-time best-selling classic album, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers featuring Eric Clapton. However, by the time it was entering the charts, Clapton and bassist Jack Bruce had left to form Cream. So began a succession of future stars who would define their roots under John's leadership before leaving to form their own groups. Peter Green, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood became Fleetwood Mac. Andy Fraser formed Free, and Mick Taylor joined the Rolling Stones.In 1969, with his popularity blossoming in the USA, John caused somewhat of a stir with the release of a drummer-less acoustic live album entitled The Turning Point, from which his song, "Room To Move" was destined to become a rock classic. He received a gold record for this album. Attracted by the West Coast climate and culture, John then made his permanent move from England to Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles and began forming bands with American musicians. Throughout the '70s, John became further revered for his many jazz/rock/blues innovations featuring such notable performers as Blue Mitchell, Red Holloway, Larry Taylor, and Harvey Mandel.In 1982, motivated by nostalgia and fond memories, John decided to re-form the original Bluesbreakers. Mick Fleetwood was unavailable at the time so John hired drummer Colin Allen to join with John McVie and Mick Taylor for a couple of tours and a video concert film entitled Blues Alive. Featured greats were Albert King, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells and Etta James. By the time Mick and John had returned to their respective careers, public reaction had convinced Mayall that he should honor his driving blues roots. In Los Angeles, he selected his choices for a new incarnation of the Bluesbreakers. Officially launched in 1984, it included future stars in their own right, guitarists Coco Montoya and Walter Trout.Throughout the eighties and nineties, John's popularity went from strength to strength with a succession of dynamic albums such as Behind The Iron Curtain, Chicago Line, A Sense of Place, and the Grammy-nominated Wake Up Call that featured guest artists Buddy Guy, Mavis Staples, Albert Collins and Mick Taylor.In 1993, Texas guitarist Buddy Whittington joined the Bluesbreakers and for the next ten years energized the band with his unique and fiery ideas. Making his recording debut on Mayall's Spinning Coin album, he proved to be more than equal to following in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessors. Other modern classics followed. Blues For the Lost Days and Padlock On The Blues, the latter co-produced by John and his wife Maggie, featured a rare collaboration with his close friend John Lee Hooker. On Along For The Ride, Mayall re-teamed with a number of his former mates, including Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, as well as ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons, Steve Miller, Billy Preston, Steve Cropper, Otis Rush, Gary Moore and Jeff Healey. The younger generation was well represented by teenage guitar sensations Shannon Curfman and Jonny Lang. In 2002, Stories debuted the Billboard blues charts at #1.At a 70th Birthday celebration in aid of UNICEF in Liverpool, a concert was filmed, recorded and released as a DVD and double CD in December 2003. Along with the Bluesbreakers, it featured old friends Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor and Chris Barber. The BBC also aired an hour-long documentary on John's life and career entitled The Godfather of British Blues and to coincide with the release of Road Dogs in 2005, John was awarded an OBE by The Queen's Honours list. In the Spring of 2007, John Mayall's 56th album release, In The Palace Of The King, was an entire studio album that honored and paid tribute to the music of Mayall's long-time hero of the blues, Freddie King. All garnered great reviews, critical and popular acclaim and represent Mayall's ongoing mastery of the blues and his continuing importance in contemporary music.In addition, over the last ten years, Mayall released live recordings on his own online label, Private Stash Records. (Some still available from his website johnmayall.com. They included Time Capsule (containing historic 1957-62 live tapes), UK Tour 2K, (from a 2000 British tour), Boogie Woogie Man, (a selection of solo performances), Cookin' Down Under, (a live DVD from Australia) No Days Off, (another British live show) and a 3 volume set of Historic Live Shows.By October 2008, the years of heavy touring were beginning to take their toll on John and he reluctantly announced his decision to take an indefinite break and permanently retire the name "Bluesbreakers." It was a sad occasion to say farewell to Buddy and the guys after twenty years of great music and camaraderie but things had reached another turning point. This caused quite a stir in blues circles and led to rumors about total retirement. Happily for the fans, early in 2009 Eagle Records called upon John to come up with a new album. Feeling much revived after months away from music, he put together a new band for the project.A few years ago, Buddy Whittington had introduced John to a fellow Texas guitarist, Rocky Athas and he recalled how impressed he'd been at the time. Luckily he answered the call and was eager to come on board for the proposed album. With the need for a rhythm section of dynamic strength, John turned to bassist Greg Rzab who recommended his fellow Chicagoan Jay Davenport on drums. Finally, the three guys were put together with keyboardist Tom Canning and within two days of meeting up in Los Angeles, the album Tough was in the can. It had taken all of three days in the studio and ever since its release and a growing schedule of world tours, a new era was born. Soon after its release Tom left to pursue other projects.A leaner four piece line-up gave John more room to stretch out as an instrumentalist and the band's chemistry hit new heights.For the next five years (and counting) John and the band continue to tour extensively. After being invited to do a guest spot on Walter Trout's latest album, John met engineer/producer Eric Corne. John was so impressed that he asked Eric to record his new album 'A Special Life', Greg, Jay and Rocky flew in for the sessions which took less than a week to record and the end result is one of John's best albums ever, with it's deep devotion to blues and roots music. The album was released May 13, 2014 to rave reviews, followed by an extensive 80th Birthday Celebration Tour of North America, Europe and The UK.Following up on 'A Special Life' and the 2015 releases, 'Find A Way To Care' and 'Live in 1967', Forty Below Records plans to release 'Live In 1967 Volume II' in 2016, and a new studio album is also in the works.Today, John can safely say he's never been happier with his band and career and the road continues.

Great music sounds easy. And great musicians make it so. The bluesmen on the Delta and the Appalachian mountaineers made timeless art with just voice, guitar and a stomping foot. And that is the root of the art of Chris Smither. Over the last decade Smither has released one gem of an album after another. His music draws as deeply from the blues as it does from American folk music, modern poets and humanist philosophers. Guitar-heads are drawn to his Lightnin' Hopkins/John Hurt derived fretwork; spiritual seekers nod in recognition at the hard-won knowledge and deep, wise songs, casually tossed off in taut lyrics. And just plain music fans who have come to him on their own - or have learned of his music from the multitude of artists covering his songs - return again and again.
"Still On the Levee," released in 2014 is Smither's career-spanning retrospective double CD. Recorded in New Orleans with studio-mates, The Motivators, the record plays host to special guests including Allen Toussaint and Loudon Wainwright III. The record highlights the vast catalog of an American music master. His music continues to draw deeply from the blues, American folk music, modern poets and humanist philosophers. 'Link Of Chain', a tribute album of Chris Smither originals with stellar versions by Dave Alvin, Tim O'Brien, Bonnie Raitt, Josh Ritter, Loudon Wainwright III, Jorma Kaukonen, Eilen Jewell and others also released in 2014.
Chris Smither's music never shouts; it whispers. This is deeply passionate American music that can be easy to underestimate. But when you stop to listen you know that in a world dominated by cartoonish depictions of good and evil, where rebellion is a marketing concept and the natural world is merely a means to sell mass-produced consumables, to make music such as this is an act of supreme defiance and serene confidence.

Advance | Day Of
A lot has changed for CHVRCHES in the past few years.
When the Glaswegian trio wrote and recorded their debut, The Bones Of What You Believe (2013), no one had heard of them. The three members (Iain Cook, Martin Doherty and Lauren Mayberry) came together with the idea of working on a writing project together, unsure of what path that would take other than one which belied their previous musical projects and foregrounded melody and classic songwriting styles before everything else. There were no pre-existing ideas of what the record would or should be like, no pre-conceptions and nothing to live up to – just three people in a basement studio in Glasgow making music they believed in.
The Bones of What You Believe went on to sell over 500,000 albums worldwide. The band enjoyed critical success, with accoladed coming from Pitchfork, Spin, Rolling Stone, Q, NME and many more. They made their debut US TV performance on Jimmy Fallon, and then went on Kimmel, Letterman and Carson Daly. They've clocked in 364 shows in 2 years, selling out venues across the world and making signature appearances at Coachella, Bonnaroo, Sasquatch, Lollapalooza, Australasia's Laneway Festival, Reading & Leeds, Summer Sonic in Japan and myriad others before retiring back into the studio for another go.
Approaching the new album, one could argue that everything is different for the band but they tried not to treat it that way. CHVRCHES returned to the same hometown studio that had housed them during the recording of their first LP, their basic goal to shut off the outside world and get back to what they know best: writing.
Made in CHVRCHES' Alucard Studios – a converted three-bedroom flat on the southside of Glasgow – Every Open Eye offers an alternative approach in a climate of music written by committee or the same handful of well-known songwriters, going back to the idea that a band can write, record and produce their work entirely by themselves.
Using some ideas the band had recorded in venues during their time on the road as a starting point, the band found riffs, loops and melodies they wanted to develop or started from scratch on the synths, pads and machines they had been gathering in their basement to create the instrumentals of the songs. Vocal melodies were developed as the songs took shape with the lyrics added last, developed from words and sentences from notebooks Mayberry had kept on tour.
Musically, Every Open Eye seeks to do more with less. To make big sounds without racking up endless tracks within Cubase sessions. To make something intense and urgent and visceral, using the basic tools of melody, rhythm and arrangement rather than the mentality that 'more is more'. Sonically, Every Open Eye develops CHVRCHES' signature style, juxtaposing the light and the dark, creating their own brand of twisted pop music that uniquely merges the organic with the electronic, molding sounds and ideas forged over two years on the road into an electronic-pop record with a heart.
Lyrically, Every Open Eye is not a break up album. It is a record about past heartbreaks and getting over them ('Leave A Trace'). About perspective and the benefit of hindsight. About being unapologetic and not being told what to do or who to be ('Bury It', 'Never Ending Circles', 'Playing Dead'). About moving on to better things, holding on to the good and letting go of the bad ('Down Side Of Me', 'Clearest Blue', 'Afterglow').
Mixed by Spike Stent and mastered by Bob Ludwig, Every Open Eye will be released on September 25, 2015 via Glassnote / Virgin. Lead single 'Leave A Trace' is out on September 18, 2015.

Sea of Noise, the second full-length album by St. Paul and the Broken Bones, marks a quantum leap in sound and style for the high-voltage Birmingham, Alabama-based band.Produced by Paul Butler and recorded at Nashvilles Sound Emporium, the groups sophomore effort features an expanded eight-piece lineup of the widely praised soul-based rock unit. Longtime members Paul Janeway (lead vocals), Jesse Phillips (bass, guitar), Browan Lollar (guitars), Andrew Lee (drums), Al Gamble (keyboards), and Allen Branstetter (trumpet) are joined by Jason Mingledorff (saxophone, clarinet, flute), and Chad Fisher (trombone).The collection of new original songs is the groups first release on RECORDS, a joint venture of SONGS Publishing, winner of ASCAPs 2016 independent publisher of the year award, and veteran label executive Barry Weiss.Sea of Noise is a successor to the Broken Bones 2013 debut album Half the City, which introduced the groups blazing mating of 60s soul fire daubed with latter-day influences like Sly Stone, David Bowie, and Prince -- to Janeways impassioned singing and writing. The new album witnesses a deepening and broadening of the units musical reach and lyrical concerns.It felt like it happened organically, Janeway says of the bands development. With the last record, it was like doing things with your hair on fire going in, recording it live. Theres a sense of urgency to having a record like that. We were only a band for about five months at that point. I didnt know my voice Id never done this professionally. I was just learning more nuance, and about carrying a melody. You dont have to go for it 100% all the time. You can draw people in by giving and taking.Janeway says that he and his close musical associate Phillips began to ponder the direction of the bands second album a year and a half ago. If we had been forced to go into a studio a year and a half ago, we probably would have done a better version of Half the City, he says. There would have been nothing wrong with that. But we started evolving, or changing.Work began in earnest during last years Coachella festival in California: We rented a house in San Bernardino Valley National Park. The week in between the two weekends, we really started to hash things out. Then we rented out a very hot warehouse in Birmingham where we could write. And me and Jesse and a few of us would send stuff back and forth via Dropbox. That gave me the ability to work on harmonies on the vocals. I wanted to take it up a notch, in all realms.Looking to such inspirations as Tom Waits and Nick Cave, Janeway was intent on lifting his game as a songwriter on material for the second album. Im married to a woman with a masters in literature, and I cant show her lyrics unless Im pretty proud of em, he says. I had to sit and think about what Im saying what do I want to say, is there anything to say? Whats my perspective as this Southern kid whos watching the modern world and feeling very much like an alien in a lot of ways. This is more personal. If youre going to say something, say something, and dont waste your breath unless you feel like youre saying something.Janeway adds that his reading of the book Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative, played a role in the direction of the work: I didnt want it to be an overly political record, but I feel it shows up a little bit on the album.With a full complement of new songs in hand, St. Paul and the Broken Bones entered the studio with Butler, leader of the British band the Bees and producer of Devendra Banhart and Michael Kiwanuka.Jesse was listening to one of his records and he said, Everything sounds great, Janeway recalls. It sounded like a real record everything had depth, and was expansive-sounding. Butler ended up being the guy that we wanted to use. Producer-wise, I think we knocked a home run. He is very meticulous.On Sea of Noise, the bands brawny horn-driven sound is augmented and displaced -- by the use of a string quartet and a vocal choir. The strings recorded at Memphis historic Sam Phillips Recording by engineer Jeff Powell were arranged by Lester Snell, a veteran of Stax Records sessions by Isaac Hayes, Shirley Brown, Albert King, and the Staple Singers, among many others. Janeway says of Snell, He did all these classic, great records in Memphis he did the string arrangements on them. The strings, for us, supply a darker tone. Horns sometimes cant portray a certain darkness. We thought that would be the best option, instead of horn lines. We have songs on this record that dont have any horns at all.Employed on Crumbling Light Posts, the recurring motif that appears three times on the album, Jason Clark and the Tennessee Mass Choir were recorded in another legendary Memphis facility. The Stax Museum let us go in there after hours and record the choir, Janeway says, adding with a laugh. We said, Well, hell, were in Memphis, lets just see if theyll do it. It was pretty neat, Im not gonna lie.He says of the finished work, Sea of Noise is not quite a full-blown concept record. It is focused in terms of subject matter finding redemption and salvation and hope. Crumbling Light Posts comes from an old Winston Churchill quote, in which he said England was a crumbling lighthouse in a sea of darkness. I always thought that was a really interesting concept that were falling anyway. In this day and age, it is the noise that has defined so many things. Were going to fall to it eventually, but for now we feel like our heads are above water. It felt anthemic.The albums lyrical and emotional richness is heard loudly in stunning new compositions like Burning Rome (which Janeway describes as a letter to God, if I could write it) and the startling Ill Be Your Woman, which knocks traditional soul music gender roles on their heads. Janeway says of the latter song, I wrote that with Jesse, and he said, If I can write that song, I can die a happy man, because Ive finally made something that I feel can stand up to my standards.St. Paul and the Broken Bones, which toured extensively in the U.S. and Europe behind their debut album, will put their take-no-prisoners live show on the road this fall. Their most recent concert work included arena dates opening for the Rolling Stones in Atlanta and Buffalo. Some acts may have been daunted by such a task, but not this one.It was pretty neat, it was pretty crazy, Janeway says. I love the Rolling Stones, but my train of thought it, you gotta try and blow em off the stage. And thats still my goal.

It was pretty neat, Im not gonna lie.He says of the finished work, Sea of Noise is not quite a full-blown concept record. It is focused in terms of subject matter finding redemption and salvation and hope. Crumbling Light Posts comes from an old Winston Churchill quote, in which he said England was a crumbling lighthouse in a sea of darkness. I always thought that was a really interesting concept that were falling anyway. In this day and age, it is the noise that has defined so many things. Were going to fall to it eventually, but for now we feel like our heads are above water. It felt anthemic.The albums lyrical and emotional richness is heard loudly in stunning new compositions like Burning Rome (which Janeway describes as a letter to God, if I could write it) and the startling Ill Be Your Woman, which knocks traditional soul music gender roles on their heads. Janeway says of the latter song, I wrote that with Jesse, and he said, If I can write that song, I can die a happy man, because Ive finally made something that I feel can stand up to my standards.St. Paul and the Broken Bones, which toured extensively in the U.S. and Europe behind their debut album, will put their take-no-prisoners live show on the road this fall. Their most recent concert work included arena dates opening for the Rolling Stones in Atlanta and Buffalo. Some acts may have been daunted by such a task, but not this one.It was pretty neat, it was pretty crazy, Janeway says. I love the Rolling Stones, but my train of thought it, you gotta try and blow em off the stage. And thats still my goal.

The Evidence Based Approach to Business Coaching
In order to coach successfully, you need to employ tried and tested coaching methods and tools. You can achieve the desired results and performance in the workplace with established coaching techniques. Coaching techniques help to achieve organizational behavior changes, which in turn can prove to be beneficial for the employees and employers. Organizational behavior comprises of professional abilities and personal behavior, influenced by several aspects of human nature like beliefs, traditions, values, attitude and thoughts. Hence, to implement efficient and effective executive coaching, professional coaching methodology, complemented with scientific practices is the perfect solution.
An evidence-based approach not only provides a solid platform, but also serves as a guideline for business coaches to perform satisfactorily. Hence, many coaches and coaching services use proven evidence based coaching techniques and tools. Applying the time tested coaching practices help in building a relationship of trust and sincerity with the client. Scientifically proven coaching methods not only give an insight as to how the techniques work, but also provide a precise comprehensive picture. They help to maintain transparency and confidence within the coaching institution.
Quite contrary to the common belief, coaching does not deal with psychotherapy, instead it comprises of the several aspects of professional disciplines. Coaches need to employ different scientifically proven models and techniques to achieve the desired results. The use of the GROW model is very common in organizational coaching. Adopting the outdated and unproven coaching models and techniques is a waste of time, since they do not yield successful results. A coaching model that correctly measures the changes in growth is the apt choice for successful organizational coaching.
To be able to achieve your goal as a coach, you need to carefully choose coaching models and implement only those coaching techniques that are capable of enhancing performances and will yield the desired results. In order to be successful as a business coach, you have to be aware of how to adapt the coaching models and techniques, to assist your coachees to develop positive behavior changes like self-awareness, understanding and development of business skills. Hence, business firms should always hire skilled and trained coaches. The hiring of unqualified coaches can prove to be a disastrous decision for the company in the long run. Ill-trained coaches not only aggravate the problems already existent, but also prove to be a financial drain on the client resources. Coaching is not a mechanical process. You need to have thorough knowledge of the coaching tools and scientific techniques that will help you to assist people in overcoming their drawbacks.
As a coach you need to apply the various disciplines of psychology, business, economics and politics, so that you can determine factors like motivation and personal values. However, this does not mean that a coach needs to be a psychiatrist. You simply need to have a substantial understanding of the psychological tools and the capability of being able to use them for the benefit of the workforce.
The best solution is to receive training from qualified and reputed coaches, on how to use the organizational behavior coaching models and psychological tools effectively and efficiently. If you want to excel as an executive coach, you should have the ability to interpret various aspects of personal and professional behavior and translate them effectively into an action plan so as to develop positive organizational behavioral changes.

Asia Pacific Automotive High Performance Electric Vehicles market
High Performance Electric Vehicles market in Asia-Pacific is expected to grow at a CAGR of 30.68% during the forecast period. Electric high performance vehicles can be differentiated from other EVs on aspects which include longer range of distance i.e. over 90 miles in single charge, which is very high compared to other commercially available EV. EHPVs also have high acceleration and can attain speed of over 90 miles per hour with fast 0 to 60 miles per hour acceleration, unlike that of EV, which can range at speeds varying from 40-65 miles per hour. Though this type of vehicles have been introduced recently and its technology is still at its development stage, growing electric vehicle popularity is expected to propel the market for HPEV in the Asia Pacific region. On the down side, high cost of ownership coupled with limitations in account of the charging infrastructure in many countries would affect the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The growing awareness of vehicle emissions like that of CO2, lower operating and maintenance cost along with increase in Government agency's initiative to encourage the use of electric vehicles would also help to drive the growth of high performance electric vehicles significantly. Consumer perception and willingness to purchase the automobiles with new technologies lies at the cause of driving the demand for these vehicles in the countries of China, Japan, and Korea. China and Japan were major contributors to the EHPV market in APAC. China witnessed an increase in the adoption of battery electric vehicles across the country. Increasing environmental concerns and focus on reducing fuel consumption resulted in the increased adoption of battery electric vehicles, including EHPV, in the country. The growing pollution levels is one factor driving the demand for EHPV in the region. Government in China had increasingly emphasized the adoption of Evs. The growth rate of high performance electric vehicles in Japan is fuelled by the increased initiatives by the Government to increase the number of charging stations and extensive R&D to improve electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Korea had been a critical market in the production of electric vehicles since 1992, where several research and development for high performance electric vehicles were made at that point of time. However international competition in the development of hybrid cars lead to the decline in the sales of these vehicles from the country where GM EV1 and the mass-production of the Toyota PRIUS in 1997 were discontinued resulting to a further reduction of domestic R&D of electric vehicles during that phase. The commercialization of an electric vehicle had not been achieved thereafter and has only been limited to electric golf carts and the electric cars for small company leisure. However in December 2010, the Ministry of Knowledge Economy announced a plan for improving the competitive power of electric vehicles by 2014 through the "Green Car Roadmap" with Korea Automotive Technology Institute (KATECH). The roadmap leads a project to develop semi-medium sized high-speed electric vehicle to be commercialized in 2014. Further, on April 16th, 2012, the Ministry of the Environment Korea announced a plan to commercialize 2,500 electric vehicles by 2012 through the "Ceremony of Electric Vehicle Commercialization 2012" and confirmed the sales price, subsidy and funding for the infrastructure to support the operation of electric vehicles. In the case of the high-speed electric vehicle, the "Hyundai Blue On" electric vehicle was developed in August 2010 and 250 cars were produced for public institutes. The model was later announced as the main model of the demonstration project of the Ministry of Environment. The Renault-Samsung SM3 electric vehicle is a model that applies the quick-drop type as a battery exchange method. It will be sold to the public in 2013. Thereby, the development of commercialization of electric vehicles, had significantly helped to augment the demand of high performance electric vehicles in Korea, In terms of the sales price of the high performance light weight electric vehicles, Kia Motor Co. was supported by a subsidy of $ 1,364 (1$ =1,100 won) and support for the charging infrastructure of $ 800 by the Government of Korea . The sales price of the low speed electric vehicle was supported by a subsidy of $ 1,909 and support for a charging infrastructure of $ 525. In addition, a tax cut of up to $ 3,818 for costs such as individual consumption, acquisition, and education was provided.
The market is segmented by electric vehicle type, by power range and by geography. Pure Electric High Performance Vehicles would lead the Asia-Pacific market on the basis of High-Performance Electric Vehicle type. Some of the key players in this market are BMW, Kia, Renault, Hyundai, Daimler, and Nissan Motor. As a whole, growing government subsidies and spiked popularity for electric vehicles is expected to drive the market for HPEV in Asia Pacific region and pose a fruitful prospect over the coming 5 years.

Belly
Belly
Belly formed in 1991 after Tanya Donelly left the critically acclaimed Throwing Muses, which she'd founded with her stepsister Kristin Hersh while they were both still in high school. Just prior to leaving the Muses, Tanya co-founded The Breeders as a side project with Kim Deal of The Pixies, but soon realized she needed more space to pursue her own fractured-fairytale alternative-pop-rock song-writing vision.Tanya recruited Fred Abong to play bass (he had played on her final Muses album), and brothers Chris and Tom Gorman- friends from her native Rhode Island- to play drums and guitar, respectively. The band immediately got to work rehearsing and demoing the material that would eventually become Belly's debut album, Star. Star was recorded in two sessions, the first in Nashville, with engineer Tracy Chisholm, the second in Liverpool, England, with producer Gil Norton.Just before the release of the album on 4AD/Sire/Reprise in January 1993, Abong left the band and was replaced by music scene veteran and hard-rocker Gail Greenwood.By turns dreamy, creepy, jaggedly delicate and melodically expansive, Star was propelled by the single "Feed the Tree" to gold-record status in the US, earning two Grammy nominations and eventually selling two million copies worldwide.Belly spent more than a year of nearly nonstop touring for Star, performing throughout the US, UK, Europe, Australia and Japan, with opening bands that included The Cranberries and Radiohead. The band also opened for U2 and the Velvet Underground at the Hippodrome in Paris.In the summer of 1994, Belly began writing and rehearsing for their sophomore release. Produced by the legendary Glyn Johns and released in February 1995, King was a more 'rock-oriented' and live-sounding album, reflecting the band's experience of hard touring that preceded it, as well as Johns' minimalist production style. Stripped down and direct, Kingdispensed with much of the layering and idiosyncratic charm that had characterized Star.Another extensive tour followed the release of King, with dates opening for R.E.M. in Europe, and U.S. dates supported by the Catherine Wheel and Superchunk.Alas, King didn't meet record-label sales expectations. Falling prey to the all-too-common rock-and-roll clich of industry pressure, financial issues, personal conflict and divergent creative ambitions, Belly disbanded without ceremony on Nov. 11, 1995, after playing the final show of the King tour at The Dragonfly in Los Angeles.Tanya went on to pursue a solo career, continuing to perform internationally and, to date, releasing four albums under her own name: Lovesongs for Underdogs (1997), Beautysleep (2002), Whiskey Tango Ghosts (2004) and This Hungry Life (2006). In recent years, she has self-released a stream of digital EPs known as The Swan Song Series, an expansive collection of collaborations with some of her favorite musicians and authors. The entire series is to be released on CD and vinyl in 2016 by American Laundromat Records. Tanya lives in Boston with her husband, musician Dean Fisher (the Juliana Hatfield Three), and their two daughters, and works as a postpartum doula.After Belly, Gail spent three years playing in L7, followed by two years as touring bassist for pop-punk artist Bif Naked. Since 2002 she has performed with her partner Chil Mott in the metal-inflected power-punk band Benny Sizzler. She lives in Rhode Island, where she and Chil run a graphic design business and are active in anti-sprawl efforts and lobbying for land conservation. They share their home with Bear and Maurice, trained therapy dogs who perform in libraries and nursing homes, star in Benny Sizzler videos and have been featured on the PBS Kids' show "Martha Speaks."Not long after Belly called it quits, Chris moved to New York City and opened a studio to pursue commercial and fine-art photography. He's also designed and built several restaurant spaces, a yoga studio and his own surf shop. In 2015, he published his first children's book, Indi Surfs. Chris lives near the beach on Long Island with his wife, two kids, two cats, a dog and a fish named Godzilla.Tom briefly played guitar and keyboards with Buffalo Tom after the breakup of Belly, toured with Kristin Hersh in 1999 and eventually moved to New York City, where he joined Chris in the commercial photography business. He now splits his time between New York City and rural upstate NY, where he and his wife are implementing permaculture design on their small farm. They are also active in the fight against fracking and the expansion of fracked-gas pipelines and infrastructure- in their small town and everywhere.

The Bangles
The Bangles
with Cardiac
It was over 30 years ago that guitarists Susanna Hoffs and Vicki Peterson and drummer Debbi Peterson formed the Bangles in a Brentwood, California, garage. They did so based on two crucial elements: their common love for rocks golden age (Growing up loving the same music has always been the glue for the Bangles, says Susanna) and the crystalline sound they quite naturally created when they blended their voices (The chemistry was there instantaneously. It just clicked, Debbi recalls).Legendary musical guru Rodney Bingenheimer gave the girls self-produced single 'Getting Out Of Hand,' airplay, and soon "The Bangs" were signed by Faulty Products, a subsidiary of IRS Records.Renamed The Bangles, the girls hit the road in '82 opening for The English Beat, and in the process got signed to Columbia Records. Former Runaways lead singer Michael Steele replaced Annette Zilinskas on bass, and the Bangles began a steady climb to the top.The band released their first full-length album, All Over The Place in 1984, with the singles 'Hero Takes A Fall' and 'Going Down To Liverpool,' making a splash on college radio.Opening for Cyndi Lauper's 84 tour exposed them to an ever-widening audience, and helped their 1985 album, Different Light make a huge impact. Featuring the hits 'If She Knew What She Wants,' the Prince-penned 'Manic Monday,' and the smash dance track 'Walk Like An Egyptian,' the Bangles rocketed to superstardom.'Egyptian' charted at Billboard's #1 for four weeks in a row - a feat no other all-female band had ever achieved. A smash national tour, and awards including Single of The Year, Best MTV Video Performance, and a BMA helped solidify the band's status.In '87, the Bangles recorded a hard rocking cover of Simon & Garfunkel's 'Hazy Shade Of Winter' for the Less Than Zero soundtrack that rocketed to #2 on the charts. That summer found the band at the peak of its popularity, and back on the road for the 'Bitchen Summer' international tour. In early 1988, the Bangles released Everything, with two more chart hits: the rocking 'In Your Room,' and the seminal ballad 'Eternal Flame,' which was a #1 hit internationally and has become a romantic classic, performed recently on singing competitions The Voice and American Idol.Despite (or perhaps because of) their successes, the band was exhausted, tensions were high, and in 1989 they decided to take an extended hiatus, canceling the rest of their world tour. In 1990, the Sony-released Greatest Hits broke sales records in Britain, charting in the UK Top 10 for an incredible 97 weeks, and peaking as the #4 album in the country.The band members stayed in touch, but serious talk about reforming the Bangles didn't begin until Susannas husband, award-winning director/producer Jay Roach, needed an original song for his film, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.In 1999, Vicki, Susanna, Michael, and Debbi headed back into the studio to record 'Get The Girl' for the Austin Powers soundtrack, and The Bangles formally announced their reunion in 2000.In July 2003, the Bangles proudly released the power-pop driven Doll Revolution, their first studio album in over a decade. A fan and critical favorite, Doll Revolution went to #23 on Billboard's Top 100 Independent Albums for 2003, with the single 'Something That You Said' going Top 40 in the UK and enjoying extensive airplay throughout Europe. Appearances on The Tonight Show and Graham Norton, a smash Japan tour, and sold out European and US Tour dates kept the band busy.In 2005, longtime bassist Michael Steele elected to retire from the band, but drummer Debbi Peterson, and guitarists Susanna Hoffs and Vicki Peterson continued performing and touring internationally.In 2011 The Bangles produced their latest album, SWEETHEART OF THE SUN, which was recorded by Matthew Sweet and mixed by Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Wilco). "We went into the album thinking we wanted to pay tribute to Los Angeles and the California music that we grew up with during the 1960s," says Susanna. As we were finishing the record, says Vicki, we started to realize there was a unifying themeparadise lost in Southern California, the perception juxtaposed with the reality of it. Susanna picks up the thought: L.A. is like paradisethe sun shines 360 days a year, the flowers are always in bloombut meanwhile, so many people are walking around alienated, depressed and anxious. SWEETHEART OF THE SUN reveals The Bangles at their equally beguiling extremes, as soaring folk-rock harmonies coexist with adrenalized rave-ups inspired by the bands roots in Nuggets-era garage rock. "We really started out as an indie band, very simple grassroots. We didn't have any money or publicity behind us -- we were truly a garage band," says Susanna.2013 was a year in which The Bangles re-energized by getting back to the basics. They participated in the Paisley Underground Reunion show, where they played with other Southern California bands from the same scene, all of whom were influenced by the psychedelic movement of the 60's.So why are they still making music, and still doing it together?

It was over 30 years ago that guitarists Susanna Hoffs and Vicki Peterson and drummer Debbi Peterson formed the Bangles in a Brentwood, California, garage. They did so based on two crucial elements: their common love for rocks golden age (Growing up loving the same music has always been the glue for the Bangles, says Susanna) and the crystalline sound they quite naturally created when they blended their voices (The chemistry was there instantaneously. It just clicked, Debbi recalls).Legendary musical guru Rodney Bingenheimer gave the girls self-produced single 'Getting Out Of Hand,' airplay, and soon "The Bangs" were signed by Faulty Products, a subsidiary of IRS Records.Renamed The Bangles, the girls hit the road in '82 opening for The English Beat, and in the process got signed to Columbia Records. Former Runaways lead singer Michael Steele replaced Annette Zilinskas on bass, and the Bangles began a steady climb to the top.The band released their first full-length album, All Over The Place in 1984, with the singles 'Hero Takes A Fall' and 'Going Down To Liverpool,' making a splash on college radio.Opening for Cyndi Lauper's 84 tour exposed them to an ever-widening audience, and helped their 1985 album, Different Light make a huge impact. Featuring the hits 'If She Knew What She Wants,' the Prince-penned 'Manic Monday,' and the smash dance track 'Walk Like An Egyptian,' the Bangles rocketed to superstardom.'Egyptian' charted at Billboard's #1 for four weeks in a row - a feat no other all-female band had ever achieved. A smash national tour, and awards including Single of The Year, Best MTV Video Performance, and a BMA helped solidify the band's status.In '87, the Bangles recorded a hard rocking cover of Simon & Garfunkel's 'Hazy Shade Of Winter' for the Less Than Zero soundtrack that rocketed to #2 on the charts. That summer found the band at the peak of its popularity, and back on the road for the 'Bitchen Summer' international tour. In early 1988, the Bangles released Everything, with two more chart hits: the rocking 'In Your Room,' and the seminal ballad 'Eternal Flame,' which was a #1 hit internationally and has become a romantic classic, performed recently on singing competitions The Voice and American Idol.Despite (or perhaps because of) their successes, the band was exhausted, tensions were high, and in 1989 they decided to take an extended hiatus, canceling the rest of their world tour. In 1990, the Sony-released Greatest Hits broke sales records in Britain, charting in the UK Top 10 for an incredible 97 weeks, and peaking as the #4 album in the country.The band members stayed in touch, but serious talk about reforming the Bangles didn't begin until Susannas husband, award-winning director/producer Jay Roach, needed an original song for his film, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.In 1999, Vicki, Susanna, Michael, and Debbi headed back into the studio to record 'Get The Girl' for the Austin Powers soundtrack, and The Bangles formally announced their reunion in 2000.In July 2003, the Bangles proudly released the power-pop driven Doll Revolution, their first studio album in over a decade. A fan and critical favorite, Doll Revolution went to #23 on Billboard's Top 100 Independent Albums for 2003, with the single 'Something That You Said' going Top 40 in the UK and enjoying extensive airplay throughout Europe. Appearances on The Tonight Show and Graham Norton, a smash Japan tour, and sold out European and US Tour dates kept the band busy.In 2005, longtime bassist Michael Steele elected to retire from the band, but drummer Debbi Peterson, and guitarists Susanna Hoffs and Vicki Peterson continued performing and touring internationally.In 2011 The Bangles produced their latest album, SWEETHEART OF THE SUN, which was recorded by Matthew Sweet and mixed by Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Wilco). "We went into the album thinking we wanted to pay tribute to Los Angeles and the California music that we grew up with during the 1960s," says Susanna. As we were finishing the record, says Vicki, we started to realize there was a unifying themeparadise lost in Southern California, the perception juxtaposed with the reality of it. Susanna picks up the thought: L.A. is like paradisethe sun shines 360 days a year, the flowers are always in bloombut meanwhile, so many people are walking around alienated, depressed and anxious. SWEETHEART OF THE SUN reveals The Bangles at their equally beguiling extremes, as soaring folk-rock harmonies coexist with adrenalized rave-ups inspired by the bands roots in Nuggets-era garage rock. "We really started out as an indie band, very simple grassroots. We didn't have any money or publicity behind us -- we were truly a garage band," says Susanna.2013 was a year in which The Bangles re-energized by getting back to the basics. They participated in the Paisley Underground Reunion show, where they played with other Southern California bands from the same scene, all of whom were influenced by the psychedelic movement of the 60's.So why are they still making music, and still doing it together? After all, each of them has a fulfilling life outside of the band. I feel like I do it because I have to do it, says Vicki, but more importantly, I want to do it - we all do. The writing and recording have become more enjoyable than ever. During the course of making this record, we came up with a really nice working method that makes it doable for us and easy to fit in with other aspects of our lives. Debbi adds: I think its important for all of us to keep moving on and creating, because thats why we got into this in the first place.Remarkably, the Bangles second time around has lasted longer than the first, as the three longtime partners harmoniously coexist with their respective husbands and children; making music together is now another familiar, rewarding part of their lives. Much has changed in the lives and careers of Vicki, Debbi and Susanna since that first time they played and sang together in the Hoffs family garage years ago.
