Please believe me when I say that I don't have my tour manager hat on as I write this -- I have my ectophile-besotted-fan hat on. Trust me, this band ROCKS. Have TiVo tape _Lost_ (I am!) and come on down. :) Hope to see the lot of you this evening, - -- =============================================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth =============================================== hear at the HOMe House Concert Series http://hom.smoe.org =============================================== ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 08 Feb 2006 15:01:22 -0500 From: meredith Subject: Re: Natasha Alexandra Hi, DanS wrote: > Here's one of my new favorites to watch this year - Natasha Alexandra, a > Canadian who moved to NYC a few months ago to advance her musical > career. I second that recommendation -- I saw her do an open mic feature near me last fall and she was a very plesant surprise. She was selling an EP that night which I have been playing on Wild Woman Radio occasionally. > She might appeal to those who like Imogen Heap, as the > production on her recordings has that kind of feel.

I think she would also appeal to Charlotte Martin fans -- she doesn't have Charlotte's mannerisms while performing (thank god), but musically she's coming from a similar place I think. > Her album isn't available yet but there are four complete songs up on > MySpace, and clips of some others on her website (Flash). She's playing > a few U.S. dates. this month, including Folk Alliance in Austin (MPress > showcase) Yeah, I can't wait to see her in our room this weekend. In fact, I can't wait to see everyone who's coming to our room this weekend (Sloan Wainwright, Melissa Ferrick, and Laura Love just to name three). It's gonna rawk. :) If there are any Austinites lurking out there, you don't need a Folk Alliance registration to crash the late-night showcases, so feel free to come on down to the Hilton and enjoy a metric crapload of amazing music all over the hotel this weekend. - -- =============================================== Meredith Tarr New Haven, CT USA mailto:meth@smoe.org http://www.smoe.org/meth =============================================== hear at the HOMe House Concert Series http://hom.smoe.org =============================================== ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 8 Feb 2006 14:44:37 -0800 From: Neile Graham Subject: Kathleen Yearwood in Vancouver For those in the area and interested. - --Neile >Date: Mon, 6 Feb 2006 20:49:03 -0700 (MST) >Subject: Hi Neile >From: "Kathleen Yearwood" >To: ectoguide@smoe.org > >Hi Neile, sorry i've misplaced your address- just wanted to let the >ectophiles know that I am playing with two of Vancouver's most >amazing/freaky bands, Lownote- and the mighty- Goatsblood, at the >Columbia, 303 Columbia, Vancouver (in Gastown) I am playing with megan >Oleson on Clarinet, and yes, i will be smashing glass.
