On the schedule is a documentary about the Lilith Fair "featuring performances by Liz Phair . . . " Should be interesting. james ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2001 06:55:10 -0700 (PDT) From: Andy Peters Subject: Liz quote on Breathe concert from the Los Angeles Times, Oct. 25, 2001 Unlike the cut-loose-and-run appearances all too common at such star-studded fund-raisers, Breathe promises some unexpected moments. The evening will feature short sets by some acts, as well as special pairings, such as Phair with Third Eye Blind's Stephan Jenkins, Seal with Jenkins, Lil' Kim with Run-DMC and Crazy Town with Sugar Ray. "It is fun to mix and match," says Phair, who is returning to the spotlight after three years of focusing on domestic life, including raising her young son and moving last year from Chicago to Los Angeles. Currently without a touring band while recording material for a new Capitol Records album, she plans to also collaborate on Saturday with the band Remy Zero. "It's always interesting for the audience to see some of their favorite artists pairing up in unusual ways," she says. "It gives the night a little bit of spontaneity and excitement, and that's fun for the artists, too." Longtime followers may be slightly shocked that Phair, whose mother also is a breast cancer survivor, is actually looking forward to this performance, and even to touring next year in support of her new collection. "It sounds so weird coming from me," she says with a hearty laugh. "But it's true." Early in her career, Phair's stage fright was monumental, to say the least. She became red-hot in the mid-'90s indie-rock scene after her artfully lo-fi 1993 debut album, "Exile in Guyville." But her subsequent inability to deal with such ordinary budding-rock-star pressures as playing live contributed to creative confusion and critical cool-down. Today, Phair sounds about as far away from those days as she is from her former home. "I don't want to be dissing Chicago," she says lightly, "but I'm really excited to be here. In Chicago, I always felt out of step [with the music business]. Here, I feel like my identity's completed." Staying connected is important now, she says. "I feel more grounded, and fueled, actually," says Phair, 34. "I think I had to go through a growing-up period, because I just didn't expect the success I had early on. I kind of woke up and went, 'What are you fussing about? This is what you've always wanted to do, and it's excellent.' I'm not even really conscious of how things changed; all I know is that now I love what I do." So much so that she can playfully contemplate what she and Jenkins will perform on Saturday--perhaps the one "Guyville" song with a truly X-rated title. "I love playing that song," she says, "and I'm a big fan of Third Eye Blind. So it's going to be really cool to stand onstage, backed by a band that I listen to all the time."
