You may not know this about me, but beneath this tuff exterior lies a sappy, mushy interior. Ah yes, I am a secret romantic. I hide it well, I try to anyway. Nothing makes me swoon more than a chanteuse/chanson bluurbling about whatever it is they are singing about (sadly I don't speak French -- Quelle tragédie!) It goes without saying that I loved the movie "Midnight in Paris" & "Amelie." Mon Dieu, I am a cliche. Here French songs that I am particularly enjoying right now: Pink Martini -- Je N'est Veux pas [...]

I'll be honest in saying that, even though I've lived in Portland for quite a few years, I don't know Pink Martini as well as I should. Despite that, I still hold quite a bit of respect for the worldwide and commercial success they've had as an orchestra that plays a little bit of everything. Their music has appeared in international hit movies and television shows, and three of their albums have gone gold in Canada, Greece, France and Turkey – respectable for a band of any genre. Is this music appropriate for a [...]
Its' been over a year since Portland based Pink Martini has made an official video from their music catalouge. This one comes to us via the band's Italian take on the song, and dance "Tuca, Tuca" in which they travel the world to record this version of the song. Pink Martini are taking it on the road this summer, check the dates here. Also, stream a song "Yuuzuki," they created to benefit the Japanese disaster efforts below. "Yuuzuki," which [...]

Pink Martini wade into the holiday album ocean with 'Joy to the World'
Toronto – Portland-based Pink Martini played Massey Hall last Friday. It was a classy night of eclectic world music that had the crowd on their feet by the end of the show. The self-described "United Nations house band of the 60's" certainly lived up to their name. Lead songstress China Forbes sang in English, French, Italian, Japanese, and Turkish. I probably missed a few languages there. Pink Martini is on a mini North American tour to hype up their latest holiday album Joy To The World (our review here ). Although the night did [...]
