The biggest problem is that she is touring east to west, and has already done the east coast. I'll forward your interest in future shows to her though.

She's *fabulous*... I have her album _Cobblestones_ and actually, I was obsessing over it all afternoon even though I've had it for ages... she's a sort of folk-soul hybrid, but furious; she can make one acoustic guitar sound like a full orchestra, and NOT in the Ani DiFranco way... Ani's guitar work is a sophisticated groovy backdrop for her voice and words, and Pamela's guitar work is its own voice entirely... not to say that her lyrics don't pack a punch, because they most definitely do, but she speaks directly THROUGH the instrument as powerfully as she does through her vocal chords, and it's so beautifully nuanced... Ani gets a groove and goes... Pamela so rarely relies on things like hooks... every few bars, she introduces a completely new musical motif, and her songs tend to be less wordy than Ani's... she's also got this WILD African-woman hair, which RAWKS... I recommend the hell out of her. Anyhow! John ===== [there's a psychopathic social worker in all of us DAMMIT] haiku um uh? : "...it's a life-changing thing, of course it is.

Hey, everyone. Over the time that I've been lurking on this list, I keep noticing mentions of great shows happening in the NYC area, and I enviously ignore them and delete them. :) (I'm particularly envious of the Lunasa show next weekend). However, it turns out that I'm actually going to be in New York this weekend, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of any concerts going on there that they've like to recommend. Your poor little lost Canadian would highly appreciate any suggestions you've got. :) Thanks, ian. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2000 14:33:10 -0400 From: Paul Blair Subject: Re: Shows in NYC?

The only thing I have down for this weekend is on Friday night, July 21: Big Lazy is playing at Galapagos, 70 North 6th St., in Brooklyn at 10pm and 11:30pm. Not standard ecto fare--I discovered them at the Knitting Factory one evening opening for Elysian Fields--but wonderful nonetheless: > Big Lazy is the instrumental trio from New York City formerly > known as Lazy Boy.

Unfortunately, I think they've moved to England, but you might be able to find my favourite album of theirs, Kynjasögur/Stranger Tales. Check out the Ectophiles' Guide entry on them for more information. http://www.smoe.org/ectoguide/guide.cgi?artists/bellatrix Hey, apprartenly they're going to be in Iceland in August. This is from their official web page, ( http://www.bellatrix.co.uk, which requires Flash): Bellatrix will perform as special guests at Gay Pride in Reykjavik Saturday 12th August.

Very unusual left-hand and right-hand technique... for example, she one of the few guitarists who finger-picks and flat-picks simultaneously (another who does this is Nancy Wilson).

If we were doing the desert island thing again, I'd pack Dido's album along with Natalie Merchant's solo live CD (forget the title) and Sarah McLachlan's _Fumbling Towards Ectasy_. Get the CD, see the show, watch her on Leno (wish I had a TV). - - Bill. ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V6 #210 **************************
