Festival season here in the Puget Sound is kicking into high gear (pedal to the metal, dudes), with all sorts of recent announcements being broadcast over the ether and internets (see: Capitol Hill Block Party , Doe Bay Fest , Decibel Festival , West Seattle Summerfest , Georgetown Musicfest aka Artopia , others I'm forgetting). The eminent Noise for the Needy commenced last night (6/10) with a rousing show from Slender Means, Fences, New Faces, and Red Sharks at Neumos. Actually, I have no idea [...]

When I hear the word noise I think of bands like AIDS Wolf or Lightning Bolt, acts that construct tables with contact mics on the board and then distort the hammering and screwing. You know, something at least somewhat noisy? Granted, I don't know EVERY band on the bill for the upcoming Noise for the Needy shows in Seattle, Washington ; however, the ones I do know I would not classify as "noise." On the other hand, Noise for the Needy IS a charitable organization trying to do good in the world, so [...]

Don`t get me wrong, I really do like the new release from Trentalange, we posted this track ` Fever ` some weeks back with various site links and will certainly post more in coming months. The album `Awakening, Level One` has succumbed to amazing reviews from worldwide music press and is a real pleasure to listen to. Barbara Trentalange is also an accomplished songwriter, highly experienced in regards music media but totally off the mark with this video, i`m sorry, am I the only one who thinks it`s pretty lame, many other blogs have posted it and said [...]

Every emotional balloon the size of a zeppelin.

One can't help but get the feeling that something is itching at Barbara Trentalange on her new album, Awakening, Level One . Here stand eleven tracks saturated with a transmigratory nocturnal atmosphere, fulfilled by moog, theramin,wurlitzer, flute, tibetan singing bowls, yoga students, and most of the normal elements as well. Standouts include, "Fever," which opens the record with a mysterious ranchland guitar underlying the vocals, and "Ultimate Machine," a more mechanized work with harboring dance beats. Awakening, Level One is a somewhat dark and contemplative record that may gain ground with your sensibilites with each successive listen. [...]

photo: Renata Raudys (Nataworry Photography) Seattle musician Tentralange has the kind of voice that is overpowering even when she sings softly. She has a huge sound that goes well with the dark dance rock tunes she composed for her second album Awakening, Level One . Definitely night time music Awakening, Level One digs deep lyrically, exploring real and imagined fears, using sci-fi keyboard parts and bass lines that go straight for your guts. Awakening, [...]
