| | Brave Combo Night On Earth CD Brave Combo Discography of CDs
Their version of "Hey There" is a prime example of what makes this band so good. Never stooping to irony or camp, they play the song lovingly--every time they sing "Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes" it will bring tears of joy to your eyes. With wonderful contributions from four great players, this album is full of surprises borne out of the happy interplay and constant, subtle invention.
This delightful 1990 release finds Brave Combo at their most lighthearted (although they're always about as far from melancholia and depression as a band can possibly be). There's an Italian instrumental here, a Spanish-language nugget there, and originals sandwiched between them all. Polkas still rule the roost, but this time out they also visit the tango, samba, two-step, chora, cumbia, cha-cha, hora, oberek, and rhumba.
Personnel includes: Jeffrey Barnes, Mike Dillon, Carl Finch, Mitch Marine, Joe Cripps, Mark Prather, Bubba Hernandez.
Entertainment Weekly (1/11/91) - "...This Texas-based quartet has a natural, infectious love for any and all folk-dance idioms, from polka to tango..." - Rating: B-
Down Beat (3/91) - 3.5 Stars - "This album is all about marching to a different drummer--i.e., waltzing to an exotic 3/4 time, Eastern European dance form called oberek, rocking to a unique blend of rock and Mexican rhumba, listening with new ears to unexpected musical combinations....this is courageous stuff--not for the mainstream listener and definitely not for those who lack a sense of humor."

Night On Earth songs
$10.09
On their second album since reforming in 1999 (their third overall), Washington DC's Bratmobile continues to move outside of the "lo-fi Riot Grrl" box they'd been slotted into early in their career. Adding bass (by the Young Pioneers' Marty Violence) and keyboards (Mocket's Audrey Marrs) to their previously limited guitar-drums-voice format, GIRLS GET BUSY is brash and noisy, with a definite old school post-punk flavor.
"Shop For America," for example, has the thumping, kinetic stomp of an early Mekons or Au Pairs single. Lyrically, the song (alongside the equally timely "United We Don't") looks askance at the motivations behind post-September 11, 2001 jingoism, excoriating the Bush administration's calls for consumers to erase the deficit by spending more money than they could afford. As is usually the case with political punk, the lyrics don't do much more than raise the question, but songs like this are a refreshing return to oppositional political ...
| | Dave Peck 3 And 1 CD (1999)
Night On Earth album
$13.49
One of the enduring instrumental combinations for musical expression, whether jazz or classical, is the piano trio. The great jazz pianists from Teddy Wilson and Art Tatum through Bill Evans and Oscar Peterson to Brad Mehldau and Keith Jarrett have used this vehicle for their personal jazz expressions. With this offering, Seattle-based Dave Peck knocks on the door to be admitted to this exalted company. On the jazz scene as a performer, arranger, and composer for more than 25 years, Peck is no newcomer. His performing credentials include sideman assignments with such notables as Chet Baker, Sonny Stitt, Lee Konitz, and Art Farmer. He has worked with Bud Shank as arranger/composer since 1985. Peck's approach to the piano falls somewhere between Bill Evans and Oscar Peterson, with some Thelonious Monk influence on Peck's "If...Then...." Admittedly a wide gap, but plausible here. There's that wonderful thoughtful lyricism that characterizes Evans' work, ...
