Best Review Ever!

Best Review Ever!
Saturday night really needed to be good.

A food-borne virus of some sort kept me from leaving my apartment (or my bathroom, for that matter) on Friday, which precipitated a horribly embarrassing e-mail in which I explained why I didn't show up for a wedding being held only 3 miles away. That was not a great start to the weekend.

I tested the culinary waters the next day and everything seemed all right, so I proceeded with my plans to see The Veronicas at Metro -- which turned out the be the best idea ever.



If the Australian duo is a blip on your radar screen, it's probably because you've heard the first U.S. single off their "Hook Me Up" album, "Untouched." A sexy, poppy mix of synth beats, "Untouched" might not be the most remarkable song in the world, but it features distinctive vocals and a good hook. That recording doesn't suggest that a live show by the same act would be comparable to, say, Veruca Salt circa 1997, but that's exactly what the Metro crowd got Saturday night.

The Veronicas are twin sisters Jess and Lisa Origliasso, who write their own material and have sold songs to other pop groups like t.A.T.u. and Everlife. On stage, Jess is the prowling sex kitten with a scream that Axl would be proud of, and Lisa is the crowd-friendly crooner. Both have real vocal chops; no auto-tuning here. The synth beats of the album are replaced by live drums, guitar and bass, with the sisters chiming in on guitar and keyboards when needed.

Like Veruca Salt, The Veronicas turned a small club like Metro into a virtual arena. The energy on stage and in the crowd seemed too big, too exuberant even for Joe Shanahan's little slice of heaven on Clark Street. With a catalog full of monster hooks, pretty much every song turned into a group singalong, and I can't imagine anyone cut out early. Here is a relatively unknown band that has the guts to open with their biggest hit -- they know how good they are.



So far, only this song from the Metro show has been posted
on YouTube. Come on, people! Give us "Take Me on the Floor"
or "Revenge is Sweeter" ...
I long suspected this band would be good live -- I bought their first album, "The Secret Life of the Veronicas," in 2006 on the recommendation of regular commenter Sean T (more on him in a moment) -- but I had no idea what I was in store for. You might hear sugary pop on the CD, but you definitely get kick-ass rock 'n' roll when you see them live. The post-show discussion between me and two friends in broadcasting lamented their lack of radio play. Where does such a band fit? Their live performances suggest they'd be right at home on Q101, but the album seems more fit for Top 40, a format we don't really have here in Chicago. They're too poppy for B96, too heavy for The Mix, and too naughty for Radio Disney. A band like this reinforces the importance of YouTube, Twitter and iTunes in today's musical landscape.

A resident of Golden Valley, Minn., Sean T had seen The Veronicas on Friday night in St. Paul, and drove to Chicago the next day to see them again. That's dedication, and I don't blame him. Like he said, "I wouldn't drive 400 miles if it wasn't good," and it sure was good. We had to endure the pain of being the old dudes at the rock show, but that's been the norm for a while now. (I'm not ready to limit my concert-going to R.E.M., Pearl Jam and The Boss.)

Sean T might have to come back again on July 31, when The Veronicas play at Six Flags Great America during the park's summer concert series. They're on a bill that includes Boys Like Girls, Gym Class Heroes and Herald City's own The Academy Is..., whose latest album is called "Fast Times at Barrington High." (Concert admission is free with park admission, click here for more details.) Go, ride some roller-coasters, and then experience the real thrill -- The Veronicas must be seen live.

Streamer Bendy

Streamer Bendy
Le nouveau band de Repeat Offender et de Nina May ! ça promet, ils en sont déja à un album!! Aller jetter un coup d'oeil ça en vaut la peine myspace streamer bendy


Voici un article de presse publié sur eux:


Streamer Bendy are a fantastic addition to the Musicadium Family, we were alerted to their music a little while ago now by Who The Hell Contributor, Sophie Benjamin, and we loved it straight away. Since then, they have been getting a nice run of radio play on Triple J, but as yet, have not played any live shows. Well, all that is about to change, as they will take the stage for the first time at our WITH DIGITAL LOVE Showcase June 10th at Brisbane's BarSoma, with The Gallant and Moonjog!
Sarah and I (Tim) had a chat with front-rock-chick, Erinn Swan about Streamer Bendy, so far...

What's the name of your band? What's the origin of that name? Who came up with it?

Streamer Bendy was the name of my imaginary friend when I was little (Erinn). From what I remember she had ribbons in her hair and sometimes she was in the mirror with me. I think I may have been a strange child.

You have all been in bands in the past that have had great followings. Do you feel like the combination of the members in the band has formed a creative Voltron, so to speak? As in, strong individually, but when combined, form an unstoppable force? Do you have a Blazing sword? (i.e. a secret weapon?)

Oh we are unstoppable!! We're all really excited about Streamer Bendy, it's so fresh still which is great fun because we haven't been sitting in a van together for weeks on end and we don't hate each other...yet. Dane (drums) is definitely our secret weapon. It's his hair. Constantly changing colours, always looks good, blows about seductively when he plays..he's a people magnet.

What's your ultimate direction for your band? Are you seeking fame and fortune?

Like most musicians we'd just like to be able to keep doing this and get paid for it. We all share a love for writing great songs and performing them live. We just want to be able to sustain ourselves to continue doing that. I personally love the reaction I get from someone who really identifies with something I have written. It makes me feel in some strange way like I've made a small difference to the world. If I can keep doing that, having that be my focus, I'll be extremely happy.

Which songs do you perform most frequently? Do you ever play any covers? Do you have a set play list?

Streamer Bendy have never played a show!! We are six months old. We've all been in bands that have toured their asses off over the last few years and we decided we were going to be very selective about what and where we play. So stay tuned!! In answer to your question regarding covers however, both Matt and Travis play in the Queen tribute band - they're currently in canada, so in fact, they're playing covers RIGHT NOW!!

You are about to record an album - Any new influences that you will be drawing into your next release?

Yes, definitely. Matt and I have just been in Sweden writing music, and we learnt a lot from the producers we worked with over there, so we'll definitely bring a lot of that to the record. Matt discovered 'snus' when he was in Sweden, I expect that will be a major influence (snus is tobacco in a little packet that you stick on your gum and absorb into your blood stream. it's completely legal but addictive and made me so dizzy i almost passed out). We're also very into 'The Temper Trap' at the moment we saw them play at sxsw.

What are your rehearsals generally like? Do you have a set time each week in which you practice or are rehearsals more spontaneous?
They've been a bit spontaneous actually as we've all been in and out of the country so regularly. They range from Matt and I in a room, to Matt and I on skype with Damon, to everyone in a room jamming it all out. I hope we'll fall into a routine but you know how these things go...

What inspires you? What makes you wake up and think “Wow! That really matters!” What makes you want to write songs that make people sit down and think?
I'm fairly political, and I like to comment when I think certain areas of society aren't getting a good enough go, or are being taken advantage of. I don't think many young people take an interest in politics and the world around them and I'm keen to inspire them to do so. Mostly though, I'm also a hopeless romantic, and the slightest romantic thought i have is a great place to start a song. I've been having some crazy dreams lately, and I”m not sure how much they MATTER, but they're great places to start writing a song from.

How do you promote your music that you have for sale in the digital outlets?
We will promote on myspace, triple j unearthed, and speak to various networks of kids we have about blog sites etc.

Streamer Bendy's EP will be available on iTunes very soon and they will be playing at the Musicadium showcase June 10th! Their Myspace is http://www.myspace.com/streamerbendy!
