Two big darned deals: ► Guns N' Roses' big tour comes to the Forum. Interesting interview with Axl Rose in today's L.A. Times. ► Common headlines the House of Blues behind his released-just-in-time-for-Chri stmas new album "The Dreamer/The Believer," which features an original poem by Maya Angelou. Two tasty club shows: ► L.A. quartet Flora & Fauna [ see our post on "Secret Preference" ], pictured, headlines the Bootleg Bar on a night that features the first proper [...]
Florida-bred, Tucson-based songstress Tracy Shedd has been crafting her sometimes-fuzzy, always-piquant indie-pop for over a decade, releasing four albums (three on Teen Beat Records) and, in 2010, the "EP883 that saw her switch from the guitar to the piano as her weapon of choice. Shedd doesn't get out much, though — her current U.S. tour is her first in seven years — and remains kind of a cult heroine for fans of the Sarah Records sound. This year she contributed the song "Encourage Me" to "Luz de Vida: A Compilation to Benefit the Victims of the Tucson [...]

Eerder dit jaar kwam Tucson, Arizona in het nieuws door de aanslag op de Democratische politica Gabrielle Giffords . Giffords overleefde op wonderbaarlijke wijze de aanslag, De aanslag vond plaats in een supermarkt in een buitenwijk van Tucson en bij de schietpartij kwamen zes mensen om het leven en liepen dertien mensen verwondingen op. Fort Lowell brengt nu de verzamel-CD Luz Da Vida uit waarvan de opbrengt gaat naar de slachtoffers en nabestaanden van het drama dat op 8 januari 2011 plaats vond. Op het album kom je bekende en minder bekende [...]
I go back and forth about whether it's that playful, catchy guitar hook or the "Oooh Yeah Yeah Yeah" chorus that really kills me about "New Guy." It's both elements in tandem that make the song so obviously a beach tune – an energetic ball of carefree pleasure that you might as well put on repeat for a little while. But like great pop songs since the early days, that party vibe carrying the
Just when we'd hoped the five minutes for boy-obsessed girl groups had passed, Wet & Reckless spring their first single on the world, and it's "New Guy." The L.A. quartet trades in wry, undercooked garage pop with some nifty lyrical subterfuge, but this first single — released as part of a 7-inch split single (b/w Tracy Shedd , "Tear It Up," available at Origami) on Fort Lowell Records — is content to coo and aah in the jetstream of the '60s, which is not normally where frontwoman Emily Wilder and bandmates fly. You have to [...]
Hace un tiempo hablábamos por aquí de Tracy Shedd con motivo de la publicación de su disco Cigarettes & Smoke Machines, cuarto de su carrera, pues bien, ahora volvemos a referirnos a ella, ya que recientemente ha salido a la venta su nuevo y extraordinario trabajo EP 88. Se trata de un disco de 5 temas, editado en vinilo azul de 10", con el que además se incluye un código para su descarga digital. Lo primero que llama la atención es el giro que experimenta su sonido, dejando un poco de lado sus habituales guitarras para [...]
On February 23rd, multi-instrumentalist Tracy Shedd will be releasing a new piano-based EP entitled EP88. The vinyl-only release is being limited to 500 pressings. To tempt you to get in on the very limited experience you can check out the video for the first single "City At Night" here: Here's the track listing for the EP: City At Night How Your Eyes Affect Me Tokyo Rose West Inn Love
Winterliche Klänge sind nach wie vor angebracht, und so bringe ich heute mal was für die langen Winterabende am Kaminimitat - Tracy Shedd , eine Sängerin aus Arizona, zaubert auf «City at night» , der ersten Single ihrer neuen EP «EP88» (erscheint auf Eskimo Kiss Records ), zerbrechliche Töne aus den Boxen und erinnert mich mit ihrem Piano gar ein wenig an Saint Etienne (in ihren ruhigen Momenten). Sehr schön! Und ein Gratis-Download noch dazu. Ihr Album «Louder than you can her» verschenkt sie derzeit ebenfalls in mp3-Form - das sollte man [...]

photo: Skid Severson Singer-songwriter Tracy Shedd used the piano as her main instrument for her new EP88 . With husband James Ridden riding shotgun on guitar, the couple play up a gentle storm of lush melodies. The big numbers are the drawn out Husbands & Wives , with meandering guitar striking up a conversation with the percussive piano motives, and West Inn Love , with the added glow of a lonesome cello. Beautiful and bittersweet, the only flaw of this collection is it [...]
im oktober 08 hatten wir erstmals über tracy shedd berichtet . auch da waren wir eher spät dran. denn die dame aus tucson hatte zu dieser zeit bereits einige stationen ihrer musikalischen karriere absolviert. da sie sich nun anschickt, auf eskimo records den "ep88" genannten neuling herauszubringen, wollen wir in sachen promotion gern noch einmal in die bresche springen. der gewinn? nicht weniger als diese unprätentiöse, auf den song konzentrierte, mit leicht herber stimme vorgetragene musik. nicht mehr. nicht mal 'ne promoscheibe. aber das nur am rande. dass sich tracy nun vornehmlich dem piano widmete, [...]
Zo af en toe tref ik iets leuks aan in de mailbox van Ketelmuziek. Zoals een nieuwe EP van Tracy Shedd . En daar doe je mij altijd een plezier mee. Tracy Shedd maakt al jaren prachtige albums. Haar eerste CD's voor het illustere Teenbeat - label waren heerlijk minimaal en introspectief. Als ik nu weer 'ns naar haar album Blue luister valt me op hoeveel de plaat schatplichtig is aan Tracy Thorn's A Distant Shore. Tracy Shedd is in de loop der jaren muzikaal gegroeid. Dat was al te horen op Cigarettes & Smoke [...]
Shotgun Jimmie 's latest release Still Jimmie (which I reviewed here ) is not an album that I would say I pull out on a regular basis, but whenever I do, it instantly brings a smile to my face. It really is a solid album through and through, and I really don't know why I never think about it other than the fact that I listen to a lot of music and it's hard to remember everything. When I heard that he was coming to town and including an in-store at Soundscapes on his stay, [...]
Tucson's very own Tracy Shedd has just wrapped up a video for a new song, "City at Night," from the forthcoming EP88, out early next year on Eskimo Kiss Records. If this first single is any indication, the record will be a more somber, piano-based sound. Check it out, and look below for more downloads.DOWNLOAD:Tracy Shedd - Whatever It TakesTracy Shedd - Never Too Late (LIVE from WMBR 88.1 FM)
I guess this could cover today & tomorrow, but no cheating from me, oh no. Mmm such a smooth, slightly jazzy voice has Tracy Shedd, here from her third album; vocals characteristically mixed low, something usefully remedied on last year's Cigarettes & Smoke Machines , which has an air of increased confidence about it. Hmm, not that this doesn't, growing from gentle beginnings to an imposing, rhythmic wall of distortion. The album title track, to all intents. ♫ Wednesday's The New Thursday - Tracy Shedd Louder Than You Can Hear (2004) free [...]
A 2fer post. First, a 2008 release I missed out on, but wanted to write a little something about. Tracy Shedd makes elusive pop songs that are simple and direct. Her '08 release, Cigarettes & Smoke Machines, sounds like it's title: A little raw, slightly nebulous, and perfect for poker. Check it out: Never Too Late Whatever It Takes Not Giving Up Also, check out a cool (and free) live session at her website. [...]
Like Calexico did this summer, Neko Case has released a video promo for her upcoming record, Middle Cyclone, which features one of the strangest chick-holding-a-sword-on-the-h ood-of-a-muscle-car album covers I've ever seen. She talks about both the writing and recording processes, and shows off her new piano-laden barn. I'm voting with Kevin for a Rialto Theatre record release show in March. *
