| | Violet Strange Stray CD Violet Strange Discography of CDs
The music of Violet Strange is a place where sensuality meets sexuality. It is from this intersection that their magic emerges - slow and swampy and smoldering and bathed in a light that is fueled by sweetness, like pouring honey on a fire."Fronted by a stunning vocalist. Hers is a voice of confidence - passionate singing soaring from some unspecified spiritual abandon." Fred Mills, Magnate"Great stuff!!!" Mike Mills, REM"With their solid folk/alternative contemporary core, Violet Strange lives up to the visionary ideal of something that is as much spirited, ardent and rosy as it is extraordinary."

Pink Martini follow the around-the-world-in-a-dozen-songs thrills of HEY EUGENE! with SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS, a mellower, simpler set of small pleasures. These are relative terms, however; the group's music is still well-traveled, with China Forbes singing in five languages (English, Spanish, Neapolitan, French, and Italian) instead of the six or so on EUGENE!. However, Pink Martini opt for a more unified sound here, one that draws on the more straightforward ...

Stray

Surrender (originally released on Polydor Records in 1985. This is a newly remastered 2008 rerelease)Joshua Perahia (pronounced Pûr-i-yä) is pioneer in Christian rock. Before there was a Stryper, before Barren Cross appeared on the scene, there stood alone one band, and that was JOSHUA. Through his faith and desire to share his love of God, Joshua made it his life's mission to realize his musical vision and JOSHUA was born.The original line-up of JOSHUA, featuring vocalist Stephen Fontaine, was assembled in Los Angeles and in short time took the Sunset Strip by storm. Show-after-show were sell-outs at all the top venues in town. Bands like Great White, Ratt and other future successful metal bands were opening up for JOSHUA. The band's debut album "The Hand is Quicker Than the Eye" on Enigma Records was released in 1982 and spawned the Los Angeles Radio hit "November is Going Away". Metal radio stations across the country were adding the epic classic. To say the album caught on in Japan would be a understatement. "November is Going Away" went all the way to the top at NUMBER 1!The band's exposure in Japan also caught the eye of the Japanese Music press. Burrn! Magazine, the 1 rock magazine in Japan, hailed the band's debut album and in BOLD PRINT declared Joshua "The World's Fastest Guitarist." Metal press around the globe followed suit, complimenting Joshua for his note-for-note perfect guitar virtuosity. Joshua was even voted Kerrang Magazine's "Guitarist of the Year" in 1982.In 1985 the band were picked up by Polydor Records. The result was band's sophmore effort, humbly entitled "Surrender." The line-up for "Surrender" included notable Christian rock artists Jeff Fenholt and Ken Tamplin. The album featured the Joshua classics "Hold On" and "Your Love is Gone." Again, music press was more than favorable, not only praising Joshua's mastery of his instrument, but lauding the depth of the songwriting, arrangements and message of his well-crafted lyrics.RCA caught wind of the band and in 1988 put them in the studio with mega-hit producer Dieter Dierks (Scorpions) With the addition of new singer Rob Rock (Impellitteri, Driver) to the line-up, JOSHUA recorded what countless metal/hard rock critics called the best melodic metal album of all time, "Intense Defense." Unfortunately, it did not get the label support it deserved here in the United States, but throughout Europe and Asia it was very successful.Although the band tried hard to crossover into the mainstream ...
| | Andy Hill It Takes A Lot To Laugh CD (2001)
Stray
$18.99
Since a chance meeting at the University of Denver, Andy Hill and his singing partner Renee Safier have carved out a unique musical niche for themselves in the Los Angeles club scene (and beyond). Their performances – more than two-hundred a year – are as much social gathering as musical event. Part fan family reunion, part rock & roll tent revival, their incomparable live shows attract a large, enthusiastic, and fiercely loyal group of fans.As a songwriter, Andy Hill is a student of the folk and rock classics – Van Morrison, The Band, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, and Bob Dylan – and it shows. Boundary-pushing use of the language, sweeping vocal harmonies, unforgettable melodic content, and tightly crafted arrangements are all hallmarks of his writing and producing style.Andy & Renee, along with their band Hard Rain, have taken their unique sound and multi-instrumental skills (as well as being riveting vocalists, they both play guitars and keyboards) to venues large and small all over the world. Local Southern California highlights include House of Blues and the El Rey Theatre in Hollywood, and the Hermosa Beach Civic Theatre. They have also played at Telluride Blues Festival, Kerrville Folk Festival, Napa Valley Folk Festival, Sierra Songwriter’s Festival, Winery Music Awards and the Bob Dylan Festival in Italy.Their ...

Stray

Allison Cipris (pronounced Cy-Press) grew up on stage. She started performing at a young age in musical theater, but knew early on as she sang along to her Pretenders and Joan Jett records, that her rock and roll heart could not be tamed, as indicated by this impressive debut album.After spending a couple of years developing her chops and stage presence as a session and backing vocalist in the U.S. and abroad with everyone from Cy Coleman to Richie Sambora, Allison got tired of singing for other people and wound up back home in New York City determined to devote all of her time and energy to her own music.During the past couple of years, Allison has emerged on her own as a gifted songwriter and powerhouse performer. Her dynamic voice sets her apart from other female singers in the genre; she can fill a room with its raw power, or break your heart with its bittersweet intimacy. Allison has quickly become one of the more recognized female rock performers on the indie scene, ...
