North by Northwest 2-16-2005 Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2005 21:45:35 +0000 Hey Phila. Heads, I plan to attend and hopefully record this gig and have never been to this venue before. Does anybody know the lay of the land, and the houses attitude towards taping? Also does the band have any official taping policy? Thanks for any advice, tips, etc. Tom ------------------------------ From: New Homebrew Subject: UK Tapers: Meltdown Festival 24 June Reply-To: New Homebrew Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2005 20:26:48 -0500 Looking for someone near the Royal Festival Hall in London to tape the Meltdown Festival. Looks like a good lineup and I'll be happy to offer whatever help I can from my continent. http://www.rfh.org.uk/main/events/94437.html Feat. Lenny Kaye, Johnny Marr, Robyn Hitchcock, Roy Harper, Bert Jansch, Robin and Bina Williamson, Patti Smith and more. An evening dedicated to the best of folk music from both the US and UK and featuring a huge line up of acts performing their own take on the genre. Lenny Kaye is best known as the guitarist from the Patti Smith Band but as a result his influence as artist, producer and critic is often overlooked. He has worked with Patti since the early 70's but has recorded his own work with The Lenny Kaye Connection and produced albums by Suzanne Vega, Kristin Hersh and Throwing Muses. Johnny Marr was the musical magic behind The Smiths before the groups acrimonious split. Marr has continued to collaborate with major artists including Talking Heads, Bernard Sumner and The The. Robyn Hitchcock is one of England's greatest singer-songwriters who began his musical life in the punk era but whose heart lies firmly in English Folk and one of the greatest examples of the UK tradition will be on hand in the form of Bert Jansch. Roy Harper has amassed more than thirty albums of original material in his recording career. He has many credits, including recording with members of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and with Kate Bush, among others. He performed at the legendary first Hyde Park Free Concert and was one of the leading lights, along with Bert Jansch, Paul Simon and Davy Graham, of the London Folk Scene of the mid-Sixties. Roy is a social commentator and poet who has swum against the tide more times than not. He has won European awards for his music, and continues to be active in performance. He has just received this years 'Mojo Hero' award from MOJO magazine. Jansch's influence on the contemporary scene is immense but his skill has also seen him name checked by major names in the Rock world including Neil Young and Jimmy Page. --=20 DAT, DVD, & CDr trading: other artists=3D> http://hard-luck.net/other.htm jeff buckley=3D> http://hard-luck.net ------------------------------ From: Subject: Tech tour of Pritzker Pavillion (Chicago)--mixing, Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2005 07:22:30 -0500 Some Chicago area DATheads might find this interesting. If I was going to be in town I'd definitely go. Even if you're not interested in this one, get on their mailing list. Previous meetings have included tours of recording studios and radio studios, and an interesting demonstration and discussion of binaural mics and miking.
