TINY DANZA ~ Unsigned & Undefined!

Written by Pamela Detlor

We live in a society that loves labels and categories. Thankfully, not all things can be defined by placing an “X” in one box. The six piece ensemble that is TINY DANZA makes music that is rooted in Rock, Pop, R&B, Rap, Blues, Jazz, with a little bit of Funk for good measure.

Currently working on their second CD, the band has grown by leaps and bounds through live performances, constant rehearsal sessions, and non-stop writing. They’ve been shopped by a couple of major labels thus far but have chosen to remain indie until the right fit for the band emerges. I sat down with Galen Hogg (one of the two TD front men) for a one on one interview.

How/when did Tiny Danza come into being?

GH It was a pretty organic process actually. TD started out as a folk band, which I wasn’t involved in, at first. Our singer Andrew Craig, who used to break dance in my old crew, had an idea to try out a few hip hop tunes with the band and see what happened. They tried a few and the result was dope. It was then they decided they wanted another emcee and I had just parted ways with my old group, Half-Life, in Montreal so I got the call. After we felt the chemistry the six of us had on stage it was pretty much written in stone. I moved back to Toronto and we got to work. This wasn’t going to be some for fun side project, it was the real deal.

Up until this point you have been primarily the bands rhyme/spoken word guy, do you have any plans to shift to “singing” in the traditional sense?

GH There have been some whispers on the topic, but so far that is about it. I am definitely intimidated by the amount of talent in the band, and as a result the shift has been slower than I had hoped. There really is no rush as Craig’s singing has already gotten the attention of the fans. I do however have plans to polish up my skills and come forward eventually.

In addition to the band you are also a semi-pro boxer, as well as a businessman. How do you find the time to work, train, rehearse, gig, and fight?

GH Well, time is scarce and scheduling is extremely important to me. Running my own business pays the bills for the most part right now and allows me to work around my own schedule. I would be lying if I said there wasn’t some overlap though. I had to take several months off from music last year to nurse some broken ribs and have been caught on stage a couple times with the mic wedged into casted broken hands. In the end I love the music and I am passionate about boxing, which is good because my schedule doesn’t allow much time for the finer things in life like falling in love with an actual person.

Can you give us a rundown of your band mates and their roles within Tiny Danza?

GH Each band member in Tiny Danza is as important as every other band member, which is paramount in our crew. Andrew ‘Bones’ Craig is our singer and, to our initial surprise, a really dope emcee. Andrew Sataguida appropriately nicknamed ‘Santa Keys’ is our keyboard player and is in charge of the department of wit. Matt Russo keeps the guitar crying and is best known for never holding his tongue when we need him to. He is in charge of the department of skepticism and teaches high school Math and Physics. Nick Shao is our cold as ice drummer and the heart beat of TD. He is responsible for keeping us murmur free. RJ Satchithananthan (I had to cut and paste that) is our newest member and is actually a trombone player originally. Upon hearing there was a space open in TD he asked us which spot was open, we told him bass and he replied “I can learn that!” And he did.

You are currently working on a shiny new CD, how is it different than your first effort?

GH In short: a whole lot. This is only our second album so we are still changing and developing as a band every time we rehearse and write. We are experimenting with new sounds constantly. Also, while putting together this record we have become aware of a new liberty we have. We can throw out songs! We now have more than enough material to pick and choose what makes the cut. Our last record was fuelled by popular demand and pressure to give the fans something to put on their i-pods. For this reason we were actually surprised how well it turned out and were stoked on its success.

Musically, in the new album, fans can expect us to dabble in multiple genres and fuse them to hip hop, which has kind of become our thing. Diversity is important to us and we think the fans will appreciate an album they can listen all the way through without getting bored.

When do you expect to complete the new project and have it available for your adoring fans?

GH We are trying to have it finished before the year is through, but we will keep everybody posted as more details become available.

Tiny Danza has had record labels very interested in signing the band. What has kept you lads from signing the dotted line, and choosing to maintain your indie artist status?

GH It’s pretty simple; we will sign if the deal is right. We aren’t one of these bands that are desperate to get a major deal. We have confidence in our music and we love making it. So far the ‘Big Guys’ want too much from us and the ‘little guys’ haven’t offered enough. We aren’t too worried about it.

What are your hopes/plans for the future of the band?

GH If we can be alive and making music years from now that would be sufficient for me, but the plan is to live off this beast for the rest of our lives.

Jann Arden~A Million Miles Away Hits The Airwaves

Written by Pamela Detlor

The long awaited first single, from Jann Arden’s soon to be released 10th record: “Free,” has dropped! “A Million Miles Away” is an up tempo tune with meaningful lyrics and lush sounds. Anyone who has ever missed someone will feel this one. From the opening acoustic rhythm and steady beat the song grabs hold. You just may love it within the first 16 bars! The arrangement goes to unexpected places, and those places work! Just as I was grooving along with the deep dance beat undercurrent, up jumped a fiddle run. That little taste of Tennessee gels perfectly! Not to worry, all you Jann – POP fans, this is not a country song (not that there’s anything wrong with that). It’s just a fantastically mixed song with many musical elements.
The Songs from “Free” will uplift/move die-hard fans, and are sure to embrace a legion of new Arden fans. We (my cats & I), here at The Thought Vox, were honored to have a sneak listen to the new material. All of it is true to Jann’s high standard of music making. But there’s something fresh and new about this batch of songs. “Free” is, without a doubt, some of the best work Jann has ever written. Her voice is in top form, and she is ready to blow the doors off with this one! She’s excited – fans are excited: It’s gonna be a barn-burner!

Here’s what YOU can do to help:

Buy the single and the album when they hit i-tunes. The single should be available soon. The full album will be in stores and on line September 15th.

Right this moment you can request “A Million Miles Away” at your local radio station. The following is a list of stations/search engine to find the nearest station to you. Call their 1-800#s and/or request on line. For a taste of the single now, go to Jann’s official Myspace.

Singer Sara Kamin Kamin Hosts Benefit Concert for Congo Rape Victims

Written by Pamela Detlor

On Saturday June 6th, 2009, Toronto based singer/songwriter Sarah Kamin hosts the annual SAFER and Sound Benefit Concert. (SAFER: Social Aid For the Elimination of Rape - Working to end sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.) The mission statement of the SAFER organization is as follows:

Address the immediate medical needs of sexual violence survivors by providing a sustainable source of medical supplies, equipment, and expertise to health care centers.

Support and/or initiate programs such as education or vocational training that can alleviate the socioeconomic impact on the survivors and help them break the cycle of violence.

The evening will also feature performances by:
The Pigott Brothers www.myspace.com/pigottbrothers
Amy Campbell www.amycampbell.ca
Lindy www.lindymusic.com

I took the opportunity to sit down with Sara to discuss this important event as well as learn a little more about her musical journey.

How long have you been singing/involved in music?
I began singing when I was about four years old. I used to stuff a pillow under my door and sing along to Debbie Gibson and Tiffany records. When I was about 14, I wanted to sing at a high school talent show, so I asked my mom to listen to me sing and tell me if she thought I was any good. I sung Celine Dion’s “The Colour of My Love.” My mom immediately recognized my potential and said she would enroll me in singing lessons, an offer I promptly accepted!

I started playing guitar in 1996, when I was about 16, after going to a Jann Arden concert at Convocation Hall at the University of Toronto. As it happens, Patty Griffin was supporting her at that particular show. I was completely transfixed by Patty and Jann’s performances - so much so that I went out and purchased my first guitar within the week. I had already been writing lyrics for years, but started writing full songs as soon as I learned my first few guitar chords.

I released my first CD, In Her Own Time, when I was 21 and the second, Somewhere in Between, about four years later. I have also been performing professionally for the past ten years.

What inspires you to keep going in an industry that is harder and harder to crack?
When I was 25, I enrolled in a Masters program in Performance Psychology at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. Performance Psychology is a relatively young field of study, which applies sport psychology techniques to performance issues across different domains.

I have since published several articles in the field and as much as I hope this work will help other independent artists, I too benefit from the techniques I have studied. For example, I have learned how to stay motivated when faced with the inevitable challenges of the industry. In addition, I use various relaxation strategies as well as confidence-building exercises and purposeful goal setting.

Upon graduating with my MSc, I began lecturing in my department at the University of Edinburgh, and have since taken up a post as a Professor in the Independent Music Production program at Seneca College in Toronto. By finding ways to incorporate music in both my academic and professional pursuits, I have been able to ensure music is always a part of my life, even as I continue to pursue my first love of musical performance as a singer-songwriter.

You’re currently recording your third independent CD, how is it different from the first two?
For this CD, I decided to take a really stripped down approach so that the finished product would capture the vibe of what it’s like to be at a live performance. My first two CDs were recorded with a full band, whereas the new record involves only a handful of musicians. I’ve been lucky enough to have the support of Oliver Pigott on guitar and background vocals and Lyndell Montgomery on violin. The CD was recorded at the CBC, and engineered by the wonderful Adam Tune. It has been five years since my last album was released, and the songs that I’ve chosen for inclusion on this record reflect the emotional, personal and professional growth I’ve experienced during that time. Living overseas, ending a significant relationship, relocating back to Toronto, teaching… all of these things have gone in to this album in a way that makes it my most heartfelt and honest release to date.

How long have you been involved with the SAFER organization and why did you choose to support their cause?
I first heard about SAFER (Social Aid For the Elimination of Rape - www.saferworld.ca) at an event held at Convocation Hall in November 2008. The event brought together amazing humanitarians including Stephen Lewis, Eve Ensler and Dr. Denis Mukwege, the Director of the Panzi Hospital in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where survivors of sexual violence are offered treatment and support. SAFER is a Toronto-based, volunteer-run organization that donates 100% of the proceeds raised through their fundraising efforts to the Panzi Hospital.

In the past, I have always worked to support causes that address issues impacting women. Upon learning about the incredible work of Dr. Mukwege, I felt compelled to lend my support to SAFER through my music.

Do you have a goal amount you would like to raise on June 6th?
As important as it is to raise money, I believe it is equally important to raise awareness. SAFER, being small and locally based is exactly the type of organization that could benefit from this type of grassroots support. Since 100% of the money raised by SAFER goes directly to the Panzi hospital, every dollar raised really can make a difference.

Beyond your charity work, what goals do you have for the near future?
I am really excited for the release of my next CD, The Music in Me. In celebration of its completion, I will be having a CD release party at Hugh’s Room on September 8th. Please visit http://www.myspace.com/sarakamin

In the meantime, I plan to continue teaching at Seneca and working as a performance consultant.

Indie Rockers~ Kiss Kill: A Driving Force

Written by Pamela Detlor

Pop-punk band Kiss Kill’s music has been likened to Tracy Bonham, Garbage, and Tegan & Sara. The band, co-founded in 2007 by, wife and wife, duo Michelle (vox/violin) and Dusti (bass), has since morphed into a quartet of four equal parts with Jeff (guitar/vox) and Mike (percussion).
Operating out of Portland, OR, the group has built a following across the Northwestern US. When they’re not rockin’ the stage both Michelle and Dusti are employed as social workers. Their belief in giving back has inspired them to stay involved in the queer community whenever possible. Michelle often speaks at high schools, and treatment centers about her previous battles with anorexia and self-mutilation. The bands next big gig is a May 22nd fund-raiser for SMYRC (a GLBTQ youth mentoring organization in Portland). The event will consist of the theatrical play, “She Had Wept” (based on selections from Michelle’s book of the same title), followed by an after-party featuring several bands including Kiss Kill. A silent auction is also planned for the event. Donations to the auction include art from Jann Arden, Linda Woods, as well as local Portland artisans. If you would like to donate $$ or prizes for the auction please contact Michelle @ http://www.kisskillrocks.com/

The ladies took some time from their busy lives to answer a few questions:
Why is it important for you to give back to the GLBTQ community?

Both Dusti and I feel that although society in general has become more progressive, it is still extremely difficult to be a queer adolescent.

30% of the completed teen suicides are committed by LGBTQ youth. 50% of all queer youth state that their parents have abandoned them due to their sexual orientation. Over 55% of gay men have problems with substance abuse and 30% of the queer community suffers from alcoholism. The numbers just get worse and worse: homelessness, parental physical/ verbal abuse, high school drops out rates, etc. It’s truly horrifying; and to think that we, as a society, are doing this openly to our youth…

I (Michelle) for one can only imagine how my life would have been different if I might have had a positive queer role model in my life. I can’t say that it would have all been rainbows and butterflies with puppies and sunshine…We just think that having well adjusted LGBTQ adults actively supporting and giving back to their community is one of the only ways society will be able to break down the walls of stereotypes and statistics.

Our hearts and sympathies go out to Sirdeaner Walker: whose son, Carl Walker an 11 year old Massachusetts boy, hung himself after suffering from anti-gay bullying in his middle school. It’s all so terribly tragic!

Michelle, you are very open about your personal life struggles. What motivates this?

When I was 19 years old, my younger sister wrote me a letter that changed my life forever. She wrote: “Do you know how I love you? I always have and no matter what you do or what you choose I will always love you… it’s just so hard to say goodbye… I understand a little now- not goodbye but see you later. I love you.” She loved me so much that she could understand if I needed to kill myself; she just wanted me to be happy.

At that moment, I realized how love was perhaps the one thing still worth fighting for. I made a promise to myself from that day forward: I would be “that love” to the world- that my life was meant for something so much greater.

I see no reason in hiding from my past. I try to vocalize my struggles as much as possible because I have always dreamt my music and poetry would one day be the hope and the love that one person might need to change their life so completely:

Your whole life can change in a single moment- life is comprised of a series of choices and actions that make up these moments. And in life, the only thing that remains constant, is the idea that love is the driving force that encourages the soul to move forward…to seek out the light amidst the darkness…to strive for things greater than despair. Be aware of others. Love them because they are human, because you are human; because love will heal all wounds and love is the one thing that many find themselves without.

Your lives have been the topic of a soon to be released documentary. Can you tell us a little about that?
The film follows the wedding planning process and the actual wedding itself. We were married on Hahei beach, in New Zealand on March 12, 2007. The documentary highlights the struggles that we as a couple faced during that time: with our families, politically, personally, and of course together. The film also focuses on our back-stories and interviews many people from out past. Both Dusti and I share our crazy life stories concerning our journeys through alcoholism, anorexia, and self-mutilation. In the end, the film takes place over several months and illustrates both the struggles and the triumphs we endured.

Now that your first CD has been released, what goals come next?
As a band, we are happy to have this first EP out of the way! We call it an EP because we are still interested in recording these songs and our newest (previously unrecorded) songs professionally. We are shooting for sometime this summer to get into a “real” recording studio and bang out a kick ass record. This EP was actually recorded in our living room and Jeff, the guitar king, mixed and mastered this baby all on his own. We are very happy with the outcome but look forward to a professional record soon.

We are also tentatively planning a “mini-tour” around the Western United States. Where we hope to hit our hometowns of Moses Lake, Washington, Laramie, Wyoming and Mesa, Arizona. But as of right now, we are all just mindlessly slaving away at our prospective day jobs- trying to make enough money to pay for said “mini-tour.”

What is your favorite thing about performing live?
Well, I (Michelle) for one am terrified of being on stage. I have extreme stage fright, so perhaps Dusti is the more qualified lady to answer this question…

(Dusti) Even as a teenager my greatest dream was to become a rock star. Music has always been the most influential force in my life. I can remember going to the live shows of many great female musicians (Ani Difranco, Melissa Ferrick, Courtney Love) and being in complete awe not only of their talent but of their passion and attitude on stage.

When I perform live, I just want to Rock… it’s that simple.

Review: Grey Gardens Shines

Written by Pamela Detlor

I recall murmurings, from childhood, about Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy’s poverty stricken relatives. The Royal family was a big deal on Prince Edward Island, what with all the English/European decedents living there, and our namesake. Camelot was also regarded as royalty. Growing up, thanks to my Grandmother, I knew who was who in blue-blood lines, though I never new about Big Edie and Edith “Little Edie” Bouvier Beale. Saturday night was the premier of HBO’s “Grey Gardens,” staring Drew Barrymore, and Jessica Lang, as the eccentric mother and daughter. Both were brilliant in their roles. Jean Tripplehorn has a brief cameo appearance, which is also award worthy. She gave me chills. It was like watching the real Jackie Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. Following the HBO presentation they featured the original Maysles Brothers (Albert and David) 1975 documentary, Grey Gardens. From the standpoint of a piece of art, the film deserves awards in costume design, set decorating, makeup, lighting, cinematography, casting – you name it! The authenticity of the forty years portrayed is phenomenal.
I was deeply affected by these two women. It’s impossible not to be moved to emotion watching their stories. There were moments when I hated Big Edie for what she stole from her daughter’s life. There is also the realization that Little Edie was who she was because of the mother who raised her: Including the good parts. Grey Gardens is the most perfectly ironic name for the estate. All I could see were shades of gray from beginning to end. I have spent the better part of a year in my house due to illness. Maybe this gives me a better understanding of the contentment Big Edie felt in her home. She saw no reason for anyone to go anywhere else in the world. She had “A wonderful life at Grey Gardens.” Today, I said to my friend, Jake, “I could totally be Big Edie if I stayed in my house for another 20 years.” There has to be a point for all of us where our confined world would become the whole world. It’s a scary thought. Luckily, Jake assured me he would force me out of the house long before I was Big Edie.
Little Edie said, in the documentary, “It’s hard to draw a line between the past and the present.” Grey Gardens had been a grand mansion in its day. Hosting parties for wealthy East Hampton socialites before the depression. When the Bouvier Beale money was gone – so were the friends and hangers-on. As I watched the HBO scenes depicting the decline of Big Edie as a socialite, one thing kept playing over and over in my mind: Nina Simone’s version of “Nobody Loves You When You’re Down And Out.” It was tragic to watch Big Edie lose the life she was raised to live. She was born in a time when ladies were to be grand and taken care of. When the limelight dimmed Big Edie chose to stay on at Grey Gardens alone, where she never let the light fade from her soul. The real tragedy was that Little Edie returned home to Grey Gardens at 24, to care for her mother, and didn’t leave for 32 years.
Watching the interaction between these two women is mind blowing. Theirs was an unhealthy relationship in many ways, and a deeply loving relationship in others. Without revealing the whole story, I will say, I am glad that Little Edie got her walk in the limelight: where she belonged, before her days on earth ended. I am astounded that her spirit was never broken.
I recommend the HBO story as well as the original documentary be watched together, as each impacts the other greatly. If I learned anything from Big and Little Edie it is this: “The S-T-A-U-N-C-H Characta doesn’t weaken, no matta what!”

Review: Southland

Written by Pamela Detlor

I am, at times, a creature of habit. For fifteen years I gave a portion of my Thursday nights to ER. The final episode aired April 2nd. Thursday,  NBC aired the first episode of “Southland,” a gritty new cop drama set in volatile East L.A., from ER-creator John Wells.
The show opens on rookie Ben Sherman’s (Benjamin McKenzie, “The O.C.”), first day in the field. Michael Cudlitz (”A River Runs Through It”) is Sherman’s training officer, John Cooper. The show is fast paced, moving from scene to scene in a heartbeat. Rapid camera shots and angel changes give the feel of being inside the action and are reminiscent of signature NYPD BLUE cinematography.

The show touts an impressive cast, which includes Regina King (“227”,”Ray,” “Jerry Maguire”), Tom Everett Scott (“Boiler Room”), Michael McGrady (”The Thin Red Line”), Kevin Alejandro (”Ugly Betty”), Shawn Hatosy (”Alpha Dog”), and Arija Bareikis (“Crossing Jordan”).

There is no shortage of violence and language in Southland. Differing from other shows, the characters swearing is covered by well placed “beeps” as opposed to the “sort-of” profane language other shows have turned to. Sixty minutes passed quickly. So far so good! I liked the writing style and character introduction enough to tune in again next week.

Southland has huge shoes to fill; time will tell if they have what it takes to win the coveted ER Thursday night slot. Based on the first hour, I recommend you tune in.

Jann Arden – A Candid Conversation With Chatelaine

Written by Pamela Detlor

Jann Arden – A Candid Conversation With Chatelaine

 

Chatelaine Magazine’s January 2009 issue is on stands now. Singer/Songwriter/Human Being, Jann Arden, is featured on the cover and in a candid interview. 

Jann is very often touted as a Canadian treasure, though true, it’s an understatement. Delivering humor and music, she is a light in an oft’ dark world. 

Chatelaine’s interview is wide in scope and all questions are answered honestly. Topics ranging from the charities Jann supports, to health issues, the new record, and life beyond music are touched upon. As expected, there are moments of levity woven between serious answers. I highly recommend that you all go out and get a copy. It makes a great stocking stuffer! Hopefully it will hold over all the Jann fans that anxiously await the release of her new album in February 2009.

An album that is rumored to be a musical departure for Jann! 

If the interview is not enough reason to buy this issue (though it should be), well, its chalk full of great recipes, exercises, money saving tips, etc. It’s all about making change in your world. As we all know – January is the month when we carry out our New Years Resolutions for six days in a row. This issue will help you make it to day seven! 

At present jannarden.com is under revamp construction, however, to keep up with all the latest Jann Arden info you can pop in on her official MYSPACE page.
