Hey, you can still follow the Rebels, they play every now and then, well nearly every Friday the 13th... usually around Hamilton or St. Catherine's (closer for you)... I vaguely recall the last time I talked with Mickey he said something about they'd never get booked in Guelph again or something... ...they fairly recently played the closing of, um, er... the Gasworks? with the Sinisters (check out either the April or May edition of CHART for more info). This might surprise some, but punk is probably my predominant contemporary musical heritage. I still have a great fondness for punk in all its forms. With a big fun, happy detour into Cuddlecore. :-) (cub, Groovie Ghoulies, Pansy Division, Go Sailor!, Bunnygrunt, etc. etc.) > and Teenage Head. I became friends with Paul Hyde because of their Teenage Head are still around too, though they don't often play. I saw them open for the Ramones (with a S.Ont. band; Bender, who used to open for _everyone_, but have fallen off the planet) a couple of years ago, one of the most fun, though probably the most bloodly (literally) I've ever been in. > (Payolas, Rock/Hyde) many area appearances (anyone know what Mr. Hyde is up He's still out there plugging away as an indie artist... ..um two years ago he released his second solo CD "Love and the Great Depression" on um... Broken Records? It got good press but went no where really. Blah.

I'd have to say probably the best new Canadian band, from Western Canada, the do a very unique, stylish pop. Some lesser souls say Brit-pop influenced; I'd say yeah, but, a whole lot more! They have two CDs out already (I don't know whether or not ones just an ep. Mr. Ito?) _Charmer_. I caught a show with a few friends (including Steve) and was completely blown away by their talent and showmanship. They opened for Zuckerbaby which has faded in my memory exactly like RAF didn't. Simeon Ross, the lead singer just steals the show. By all accounts when they opened for Oasis at the Commodore in Vancouver, they blew them away. Their NxNE gig this year to close out the festival was one of the best received, best attended shows. (And I'd personally like to thank Rachel for schmooozing the doorstaff to get us in!) With songs like "Silent Station" (my fav), "Release 66", "Welcome to America", "Revenge of the Blazer Boys" and "Josephite", they are going to go FAR in the biz; oh, yeah! My first desccription (which I still stick too) read like "Blue Peter, dressed like Big Rude Jake, playing Tragically Hip arranged Cure songs with the Passion of Radiohead." Find them, Buy them, make them Famous! :-P James. ========================================================================== James McGarry | jmcgarry@UoGuelph.CA - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- An artist should be fit for the best society and keep out of it. - - John Ruskin ========================================================================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 23 Jul 1998 20:16:21 EDT From: Riphug@aol.com Subject: Jill :D's concert adventures/Jennifer Kimball & Deanna Kirk What a busy and musical week it's been! From Thursday, July 16th, through Wednesday, July 22nd, I've been to five concerts......so here's the beginning of my musical adventures...... On Thursday, I flew to Philadelphia to see Jennifer Kimball and Deanna Kirk (a personal friend of mine -- dontcha love that name-dropping?) at the Tin Angel. My date was Denise Thomas (accompanied by her friend James). We met at Serrano's (the restaurant downstairs from the Tin Angel) and had dinner with Jennifer Prybutok. Dana Wagner joined us right after dinner and came upstairs with us for the show. As I walked into the club, I was welcomed by Deanna's trumpet player, Todd, who remembered me from their Cincinnati performance this past December. I talked with him for awhile as the rest of my group found seats near the front of the venue (a very small, intimate setting). Then Deanna came up and we sat down together and talked for awhile. I gave her a CD by Canadian artist Andrea Florian and a tape of one of Sara Craig's (whose voice reminds me of Deanna's) albums. I also gave her a tape of Lynne Saner's CD and one of my mix tapes which includes Deanna's own song "If Not For Love." Jennifer Kimball was walking around the club and soon took the stage. She has a cute sense of humor and kept saying, "this next song is *** from my new CD 'Veering From the Wave', which you can't have tonight." Such a tease! She performed (not in order) "Kissing In the Car," "An Ordinary Soldier," "Veering From the Wave," and one or two others, all the while kidding around with the audience in her quiet way. I had requested "It's A Long Way Home," which she saved to perform as her encore. When Jennifer was finished, there was a short break before Deanna came onstage. Deanna's performance inlcuded "No Ghosts Allowed," "Where Are You Now," "I Want It Now," "Carousel," "When Love Comes Around," "If Not For Love," "Ballad Of the Small Cafe" (which she said was written after her restaurant, *Deanna's*, was destroyed by fire), and "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch." She also sang a couple of jazz standards, the names of which I can't recall. Between sets, Joel Colburn had joined our table......and I also met Henry from the Jonatha Brooke list . After Deanna's set, most people left, but our little group hung around to schmooze with Jennifer and Deanna. As I was talking with Deanna, I was overcome my a rush of generosity and gave her the Lilith Fair pendant I had bought last year (yeah, I was wearing it at the time). She is sooooo gracious and friendly and appreciative of support. And for those of you in the NYC area, she mentioned that she's signing the lease on her new restaurant (also to be called *Deanna's*), and that it should be open by the early fall of this year. I got Todd and Patrick to sign my CD liners....and we joked around with them for a good long while. Todd is a riot! Patrick drew a picture with crayons on a placemat and gave it to Denise and there were plenty of hugs and photos taken all around. At one point, Jennifer and Deanna were back by the bar checking out each other's cds (they'd never heard each other before), and they exchanged an album with each other. Jennifer had given Deanna a copy of "Veering From the Wave," so in a bold move (which is just my way -- some people actually find it endearing), I asked Jennifer if I could have a copy, too. She said, "sure, i'll go out to my car and get you one!" So she brought it back to me and signed it with "For Jill -- thanks for the chitchat!" After 30 - 40 minutes of chatting with everyone, the group broke up and we went our separate ways. Then to make a long scary story short, Denise and James and I drove down to South Street (I think), and went to Fat Tuesday's and a very short visit to Tower Records -- my very first visit to Tower in real life! It was nearly midnight and they were just about to lock the door to the store, but we pleaded and I said that I'd come all the way from Ohio just to shop at Tower and that I would probably spend $200 if they let us in. So they took pity on usand said we could come in for two minutes; I ran around trying to find treasures and shouting out artist names for one of the guys to look up on the computer. We ended up being able to stay for about 15 minutes.....but I could only buy about $90 worth of CDs.....realizing that I had several duplicates of albums I had already ordered over the internet. (*sigh* I do that *far* too much lately!) After checking out and thanking the Tower guys (I don't really mean *checking out the Tower guys*), we departed and drove back to Denise's house to spend the night. One very long ride home for an old woman who really doesn't care for rap music! And so to sleep until tomorrow's Lilith Fair in Camden, New Jersey......
