E3 ~ A5 (2 Octaves, 2 notes and 1 semitone)
Bb3/B3 ~ Bb4
Strongest vocalist in FIESTAR
Support is present within her middle voice
Mixed voice is generally bright and light, allowing ease
Her placement is mostly high and in her mask
Support is present in her lower range down to B3/Bb3
Able to mix with support as high as Bb4
Tongue tension when trying to add power to her voice
Most issues happen due to lack of proper throat shaping
Throat closes and sound becomes narrow as she sings higher
Sloppy runs
Inconsistent airflow for support
Tends to be nasal when trying to place her sound forward
Lacks a balanced development of her chest and head muscles in her mixed voice
Her chest voice lacks development overall
Can be quite pitchy at times
Lower register: Noticeably the least developed area of her voice. Most of the time she shows little to no ability to properly project in this part of her voice, losing projection almost as soon as she descends into the third octave.
Mixed register: Her middle voice possesses clean and consistent support throughout the fourth octave when singing with a controlled volume, but as soon as she hits the fifth octave, tension completely takes over. That same tension is often present in her mid range when singing with more volume as well.
Upper register: Not a very well developed part of her voice, it seems as though she's unable to fully connect into a head voice and often opts for a thinner and tighter falsetto. Her sound is often very soft, light and squeezed in this part of her voice, where she seems to lose freedom altogether.
Agility is the ability to sing many notes within one single vowel while staying in key, at the center of each individual pitch while singing each note carefully and precisely, separating them clearly while maintaining flow and accuracy. For a vocalist to do this, they often need very loose vocal cords, free of tension and a lot of flexibility, while maintaining sustainable air pressure against the vocal cords. Very advanced breath support isn't always necessary, but the lighter one sings, the easier it is to move your voice quickly. In the case of FIESTAR's Linzy, agility is something that's lacking at this point in her singing. Unfortunately due to the fact that her throat often closes while she places her sound inward, with a lot of tongue tension, her vocal cords become numb and can't move freely. This causes her runs to often came out quite sloppy, pitchy and more like undecided slides. Instead of each individual note being accurately sung, she moves through the idea of the notes she's supposed to sing without ever really being at the center of pitch nor being flexible enough. Examples include the runs in "하나 더," "I Believe," and "Take Me Or Leave Me."
Linzy originally trained under YG Entertainment, while almost becoming a 2NE1 member, before debuting in 2012 as the main vocalist of FIESTAR. As their main vocalist, she often receives the more challenging parts in songs and highlights throughout their repertoire. Although relatively unknown, she's had a few chances to showcase her singing through shows like Duet Song Festival while also being cast in a few musicals over the years. Interestingly enough, although being the vocalist with the best technique in FIESTAR and having the official role of main vocalist, she was not the member who was chosen to represent FIESTAR on the competition TV show Girl Spirit. Instead their lead vocalist, Hyemi, was the one chosen despite having less advanced vocal technique.
The lower portion of her range is rarely explored within the group's repertoire. She is mostly in charge of singing the higher parts of songs. So it is no surprise that this part of her range would logically be less developed as well. Her chest voice seems to lack any sort of proper development, as she sings with a very light and mixed-voice like quality even as she descends into the third octave. Being naturally a soprano, her voice doesn't sit quite as low in the third octave but with proper development, she could definitely work on projecting and supporting lower than she does currently. Her sound quality down to C4, as heard in "All of Me," and B3, as heard in "미장원에서," is clear and supported, but there's a lack of weight to her voice. This lack of weight comes from the lack of chest voice muscles being used and as she descends further into her range, her voice begins to lose volume, depth, color and projection. This results in low notes that are often foggy, quiet, as heard in "미장원에서." She at times also needs the help of a strained low larynx to project slightly more. Examples of this include the G3's and F3's in "널 사랑해," as well as the E3 in "Pyramid."
Her mixed voice is where she finds most comfort. The middle part of range, from about C4 to Bb4 is where she projects with most ease while maintaining the best quality in her support. She's able to manage air quite efficiently, while not straining her vocal cords nor throat to do so. When singing softly, she may at times narrow the placement of her voice to just her nose and become quite whiny but nevertheless remain relaxed. She often has shown that as long as she's singing with a controlled amount of volume, she won't have issues with vocal strain with that part of her voice. This can be heard with "Vista," "너에게," and "짠해." However as soon as she has to sing with slightly more volume, she starts to engage muscles in her throat connected to her tongue and jaw that cause to sound more froggy and block the sound of her voice. This makes her sound stay more placed in the back of her throat as opposed to forward, which gives her more issues to project. This can be heard with the Bb4's in "널 사랑해," as well as B4's in "2016 Good Time" and "Pyramid." Despite showing relaxed singing up to Bb4, even when singing lightly tension can be heard with more tightness than support starting on B4, as heard in "미장원에서."
This tension present in her mixed voice only becomes more apparent as she ascends in range, whether singing loudly or not. Even when singing around the fifth octave, around C#5, with not too much volume, one can still hear a tight throaty quality in her singing. This can be heard in "Vista" as well as "Mirror." However because Linzy's voice is so mixed throughout her range, the absence of weight and chest voice in her mix and the brightness of her voice allow her more ease in the upper range and mask away some of the strain. Nonetheless, strain is still present and her voice becomes pushed, blocked and lacking in freedom whenever phrasing or sustaining higher notes. This can be heard with the C5's in "하나 더," "Vista," the C#5's in "외로운 밤," "Pyramid," the Eb5's in "I Believe," "Stand," the E5 in "Today," and the F5 in "Take Me Or Leave Me."
Her upper register is mostly consistent of a falsetto. She hasn't truly shown the ability to sing in a head voice at any point during her career, or at least in her given repertoire. She often opts for a thinner sound with more air passing through, where true support is not possible. The lack of connection in her vocal cords causes her to have a very limited amount of volume in this register. Also as she gets higher, she tends to let her larynx raise and her throat close, so the sound becomes thinner and thinner. Up to about C5 or D5, it's possible to hear that can sing with a more relaxed quality, as heard in "All Of Me" and "Pyramid," but that unfortunately does not last long as she quickly sings with more tension from her throat muscles closing around her larynx. This can be heard with the E5's in "TAKE five," the F5's in "그대와 영원히," the F#5's in "Something About Me," and "Today," as well as the G5 and A5 in "짠해 ."
For any vocalist, the most basic thing one needs is the ability to support. A vocalist who cannot support has not learned the first step for singing yet and is just going to have more issues as their career goes on. Fortunately for Linzy, that stage of her singing development is done. She has developed support, but possibly due to neglect, she has yet to grasp the concept of support when adding more dynamics to her voice. When singing, one more must be able to travel throughout their registers with freedom, allow the voice to be placed in each different resonator as they move throughout their range so as to create the best type of projection for each register. In Linzy's case, she seems to often lose her pitch when attempting to sing with more volume due to tension in her throat, which causes her not to be able to place her sound in the right resonator to have full freedom throughout her voice. Not only that, the fact that her soft palate is barely lifted when she sings greatly limits her projection and ultimately causes her to need to strain in order to force a projection that is unnatural to the voice. An example of tension causing not only lack of projection but also pitch issues would be the flat Eb5 in "I Believe," as well as the flat C#5 in "Pyramid."
As a vocalist, Linzy safely deserves her role as FIESTAR's main vocalist. She is the only vocalist in the group with a decently developed grasp of breath support. However in order to fully awaken the potential of her voice, she would have to retrain many aspects of her singing. Neutralizing tension points in her tongue and jaw, while allowing the voice to travel freely with the help of her soft palate and better engagement of her diaphragm when breathing would help her have much more power with a lot less tension when singing overall. If she plans to keep her career going as a soloist and a musical singer, it would be greatly advised that she take some time out to rework her vocal technique in order to further develop her voice.
Linzy is not a vocalist who's had much of a chance to showcase her ability to make songs her own. Oftentimes she's unable to perform under new arrangements, being limited to a few acoustic performances where she was able to adapt to FIESTAR's group songs and make them suitable for a soloist to perform on her own. Aside from that though, she often shows many issues when it comes to controlling her voice, particularly in runs, with dynamics and in belts and thus loses pitch which is a big compromise when it comes to musicianship; an area in which the ability to harmonize on the spot and find melodies that fit into the chord progression of a song while staying in key is vital.

Thx for a great analysis
Jooh says:
So would Fiestar's Linzy fit into middle to lower position in the average vocalist, due to she lack of development in both lower and upper range, pitch and breath support and tensions?
Seems like a lot of average vocalist lack development in their chest muscles, because they singing in the 4 octave and low 5th octave.
That's likely but I'm not gonna spoil ;3
Sh…… LOL

Thank You for analyzing her before the group disband or whatever. Can't wait till the next analysis.
thirstyyy🔞 (@RVilladarez) says:
is yezi much more stronger than hyemi? does yezi support toan extent too???
She does support to an extent yes.
Ahhhhhh I've been waiting for this! Thanks so much Ahmin, you did a great job and it was a good read! Glad she had some performances worthy of having a "best performances" category! I wonder if FIESTAR became more popular, she would have had more opportunities to seek out vocal training. Despite her lack of popularity, I was sure she wasn't a "weak" vocalist, and just to see she is even average brings me a smile :] Appreciate you being able to find time to do this as well, considering you've seemed to busy lately!
For Linzy vs Hyemi, clearly Linzy is better, but is the gap between them very substantial? Like, would Hyemi vs Linzy almost be like VIXX's Leo vs Ken (despite Linzy's higher proficiency than Ken anyway)?
Thanks for your hard work, and good job again!!!!
Thank you and it was my pleasure! As for the gap, I'd say it's pretty clear. I actually wouldn't say Linzy has higher proficiency than Ken, so the gap isn't as large.
Oh, I was thinking Ken was rated 1.5! Must have been a different boy group I was thinking of? Lol anyway, thanks again :]] have a happy & healthy new year Ahmin & Pandayeu!
KTD says:
wow , New Analysis!That's Great.
Who will be analyzed next time?
I'm not sure, but if you check our future analyses list, by debut date, it will be one of the 2012 debuts that I will see if there's enough material available for an analysis!

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG, THANK YOU AHMIN ❤
I love Fiestar, they're my utt, and I've been waiting for this.
Omg, I'm speechless
Did you enjoy going through their songs and her covers? They're very good. But, unfortunately, their company never gives them or her a chance to show more of what they got. And they never got their popularity, despite the effort.
And their contracts end this year, I think in the middle of the year or maybe not. Linzy is currently making theater college (I think it's her last year, not sure) and she's been doing a lot of musical theater lately, I think this you must know. Once the contract ends, I'm not sure if Linzy is going to keep being a vocalist, but considering her love to sing, I doubt she's not. She's just beautiful.
Thank you for the analysis, Ahmin!!!
I saw terms like Light Lyric and Full Lyric soprano floating around on a different site. And I started to wonder which one Linzy is. Could you also by any chance explain what the difference between those two would be? Are these one of those terms that don't apply to contemporary singing because they're too classical? Thanks for writing this analysis btw, much appreciated.
Linzy is most likely a light lyric. She does not have a heavy nor mature enough sounding quality in her voice to be anything but. We stopped using those terms because they're too classical and in pop music, it's only a guess. So we'd rather just not, it's unnecessary guessing that could lead to misinformation. Full lyrics are more mature and heavy sounding, their voices sit in a soprano range but naturally carry more weight and have more depth in tone.
Oh I was really waiting for this, I love Linzy's voice and I always wanted to know how was her technique, I guess is not that good as I expected. It's a shame how she really can't show her voice better just because she's not that famous, I hope she can get a proper technique in the future, anyway good job as always, you really are helping me to understand a lot about vocal technique (and about english terms too lol) , thank you for your hard work❤

OMO Thank you so much for this♡ Now I'm waiting for TWICE's Jihyo^^
trexchoi says:
No relation to the post but quick question!
How's he supporting the notes between 1:20 to 1:42?
He's not. G4 ~ D5, he was not supporting that.
Would you say Yezi was supporting at 0:51 in the first video, at 1:42 in the second video and 0:50 in the third video?
Videos with choreography and such loud backing track vocals aren't exactly the best way to talk about singing or focus on support. On the third video yes there is a degree of support for sure. I'll copy-paste for you.
Fiestar:
"Hyemi is the first one to sing right? 1:22 whoever that is lowered her larynx on the G#3. 1:33 Linzy's G#3's weren't bad. 1:37 kind of nasal Bb4, not that bad. 1:43 is this Hyemi? She is really in her throat throughout this chorus, a lot of Bb4's, C5's and D5's hit and she is pulling way too much chest, pushing her voice out a lot and she's closing her throat completely throughout. 1:55 Linzy sounds kind of tight on C5, her D5 is sung with a high larynx but on Bb4 she sounds fine. All the girls so far had support to an extent, then Cao Lu started singing and all I heard was air and shallowness in breathing. 2:54 that Bb4 was really nasal and tight for Linzy. Hyemi really has issues with the chorus. 3:29 again air, no support.
0:28 is that Jei singing in the middle? Yezi the rapper girl, she sometimes has a better approach to her breathing than Hyemi actually. Jei sounded really nasal and thin, but not that airy or weak in support. 0:59 lots of C#5's for Linzy and a run at the end of that line, runs are not her forte, C#5's aren't either. She sounds too thin in her mix, she and Hyemi really contrast each other in how they approach their mixed voices. 1:31 weak breathing, pitchy. Jei isn't singing much, but I can tell she's like Junghwa from EXID in her vocal approach, shallow and weak support. 2:19 Okay so yeah Cao Lu, there's absolutely no support there. 2:31 throaty C5 for Linzy, but she doesn't sound too bad below that range. 2:50 yeah Jei is weak in her approach, I like Linzy's line musically. I like this song haha
0:50 yes so Yezi can approach her singing with some support, but she doesn't support very low. 1:08 Jei is definitely weak, no support at all. 1:16 Hyemi has issues with Bb4's for sure, not a good sign. 1:27 C5's, not as bad as I'd expect, a bit throaty but with a light mix so she's not trying too hard to make her voice project with tension. 1:45 she places her voice in her nose a lot, Hyemi. I can see from the line distribution and difficulty of the lines, Hyemi is supposed to be the lead vocalist, Linzy the main vocalist, Cao Lu and Jei are sub vocalists, Yezi is a (lead?) vocalist and rapper. 3:23 definitely tense that C5, pushed. Linzy ain't got her C5's down.
Linzy's falsetto and upper mix are kind of too light and airy, as she sings above C5 with either register. Mirror is a cool song though, I kinda like it. Hyemi is also quite airy in her approach. 3:15 Cao Lu sounds better here too, usually she sounded like the worst in terms of technique but here her approach was better than Jei's. Pitiful 0:25 oh that is flat, that is not working. That requires more vocal flexibility in her vocal cords than what she has. 0:49 yeah definitely not Bb4 for Hyemi, she sounds tight there. Linzy's Bb4's in the chorus sound fine, she supports that high at least. Oh hey I like this song too! 3 of their songs, I never knew it was their song this one haha Now I'm going to download all 3 of them that I liked. lol 2:35 no support at all for Jei, she just sounds airy, flat, disconnected. 2:44 even less for Cao Lu. 2:54 oh hey A5 for Linzy in falsetto, good for range purposes."

Frederick Augustus du Croz (1821-1897), merchant, was born in London, the third son of John Du Croz, a dealer in glass and china who became a director of the Van Diemen's Land Co. and died at Merton, Surrey, on 13 March 1873. After training by his father Frederick sailed in the Emu and in March 1840 arrived at Launceston were he had been invited to manage Willis Keogh & Co. The firm was taken over by William Jackson with whom Du Croz soon became a partner. They bought land and wool, acted as import and export agents for many pastoral estates and became shipowners. At St John's Church on 20 December 1845 Du Croz married Margaret, daughter of Archibald McDowall, of Logan, Bothwell; they made their home at Fairplace (Pen-y-Bryn), off Elphin Road, Launceston.
In 1846 Jackson left to establish the head office of the firm in London and in November Gervase Bedford Du Croz arrived to join his brother in Launceston. Frederick was appointed agent for Lloyds in 1846 and became chairman of the Launceston Chamber of Commerce and a director of the Derwent and Tamar Assurance Co. The firm prospered until 1849 when the increase in convict transportation and a sharp fall in wool prices led him to write to Jackson: 'You must send very limited Supplies of Goods & no Articles of Luxury as none here can afford more than the common necessaries … The exclusively penal character of Van Diemen's Land has drawn the well-directed Capital & Skilful free Labor to the other Colonies'. This letter was sent by Jackson to the Colonial Office without avail, but meanwhile Du Croz opened agencies with merchants at Adelaide and with Frederick Dalgety in Port Phillip. In March 1852 he went with his wife and two children to England where he won confidence as 'an honest and thorough man of business'. With his partner he planned to amalgamate with Dalgety but after he returned to Tasmania early in 1853, Jackson withdrew. Du Croz then bought out his partner and with his family sailed for London in 1854 to establish his own head office. Gervase became manager in Launceston and on 8 August married Jessie Tasmania Massey; he died aged 34 on 19 February 1855, survived by his wife and one son; as a mark of respect all the business houses in the town were closed for his funeral.
Although Du Croz continued to deplore the poverty of Tasmania's economy and never returned to Australia he had a succession of partners in his own firm at Launceston. In London he continued to correspond with Dalgety and by 1857 was his most important partner and chief administrator of the spreading colonial branches. Du Croz represented Tasmania in the General Association for the Australian Colonies in 1860 and at the London International Exhibition in 1862. With Dalgety he attempted in 1871 to improve the preparation of wool in Australia and silenced protests by his assertion that the firm acted simply as brokers and made no transactions on its own account. After his wife died in 1872 he sought to retire but continued his active management until the firm was incorporated in 1884 and then served as a director until 1895. He died aged 76 at his home, Courtlands, Sussex, on 28 May 1897. He left an estate of £200,000 to his two sons, three daughters and a nephew.

Raveesh Ahuja's beautiful photo of the waterfalls near Dunsmuir, California was submitted to the Waterfalls Assignment.
Michele Sons' photo of the Grand Canyon was taken in July, 2013. This is one of the most heavily visited and photographed location in the world and Sons did a fine job of getting an uncommon photo.

Going to spend tomorrow gardening @ Shiva's place, so no open-source work done this weekend. Rosey's working all afternoon, so she won't get to see the new place. Mom phoned to suggest a few plants this evening. Suppose I should go shopping before I leave so I will have some actual food in the house for tomorrow's supper.

Coffey crowned Adelaide Lightning's Most Valuable Player
Nia Coffey has capped off an impressive season of basketball, being crowned the Adelaide Lightning Most Valuable Player for the 2018-19 WNBL season.
The 23-year-old was presented with the award by Lightning legend, Rachael Sporn on Wednesday night at a function at Titanium Security Arena.
Coffey finished the season averaging 18.39 points, 8.43 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and was named in the WNBL Team of the Week three times.
Lightning coach Chris Lucas praised the small forward describing her as a special athlete that is extremely humble.
"Nia's impact on the team has been immense and she has played a pivotal part in our success. The best part is she has a great personality and never makes it about herself, it's always about the team.
"Nia brings great effort and wants to get better. She is a fierce competitor, a great teammate and been very consistent in her performance. I believe her game has improved this season because she has put the work in," Lucas said.
Coffey was taken at pick five in the 2017 WNBA draft and played with the Las Vegas Aces before coming to Adelaide in September.
The WNBA rising star spent four years at Northwestern University, where she earned herself a four-time All-Big Ten first team selection, averaging a double-double in her senior year.
Coffey's former WNBA teammate, Kayla Alexander was awarded the Commitment to Excellence Award, while young gun, Penina Davidson, took home the Rachael Sporn Encouragement Award.
Lauren Nicholson backed up last year's defensive efforts, taking home the Defensive Player of the Year for a second time. She also received a nod from the Lightning coaching staff, winning the Coaches Award.
Adelaide Lightning will compete in Game 1 of the WNBL Grand Final Series on Saturday at 5.00pm (ACDT) against the University of Canberra Capitals.

Something still missing on this site, is the ability to sort games by time of last move. This is very useful for players who keeps their own records of games offline, as almost all experienced correspondence players do. All of the following sites have the feature: ICCF, SchemingMind, ChessWorld.
Alternatively, if you want to be innovative, here is something that would do the same job even more efficiently: have an extra flag (call it ACK) stored with each game, and allow filtering by ACK. Display ACK next to each game as a checkbox. Set ACK automatically in one and exactly one situation: when the *opponent* moves.
This way, when I turn on the filter, I can see at a glance all the games where my opponent *just* moved, and I clear ACK by clicking on the checkbox as I update my offline database for each game.
Another feature I would like is to be able to download a .pgn file of the chess games finished in the last two months, not been published here yet.


It's something I've been hearing about for a while - the NBN rolls into a neighbourhood and RSPs offer plans that are no better than what people had with ADSL or HFC... but they end up paying more. The practice has now come to the attention of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) with the commission's boss saying the impact on low-income families is significant.
In a speech given at the CommsDay summit yesterday, ACCC Chair Rod Sims discussed the nature of these issues. He noted that while NBN Co's performance has measurably improved, "you don't have to look far to find someone who has had a poor experience getting connected".
He noted the case of one of NBN's staff who had three appointments missed with no reason or warning given. And stories of poor performance with new NBN connections that are slower than the ADSL and HFC connections they replaced are also common.
To give one example, Optus increased its asking price for new customers acquiring an entry-level NBN plan to $80 per month — a $20 increase. Extraordinarily, this was $10 more expensive per month than its 50 megabit plan.
Through the speech, Sims noted that NBN Co's increased focus on enterprise services, changes in wholesale pricing structures, nuances in the way CVC (connectivity virtual circuit) is purchased by RSPs and service standards are all contributing to the death of low-cost connections. And while the average connection speed getting closer to 50Mbps looks good, it means customers who can least afford a price hike are getting slugged.
I've started shopping around as the NBN is being connected in my neighbourhood and it looks like a similar connection to what I have now will cost me between $10 and $20 extra per month. So, I'll be waiting to see what offers come when I step back from the table.
My provider offered me a $20 discount, from $59.99 to $39.99 which includes a landline with free National & local calls, that is with a Seniors Card.
For me, more of a con is the various plans named to indicate 100Mbps when in reality few people will be able to receive that speed.
The NBN is such a rort. At these prices you might actually see broadband use *decline* in Australia in the short term. I know people who would struggle with another increased bill, as important as internet is.
What I find funny (curious, not har har) is how Internet in this country has been flipped on its head, with fixed line internet suddenly becoming the super expensive premium product and mobile products serving the poor end of town. Used to be the other way around.

This Weekend's Events & Sales: Housing Works


GARY NUMAN to Take Up Residency in L.A.
MUSIC NEWS- Following the success of his Billboard 200 album, Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind), and accompanying two-year Splinter world tour, Gary Numan returns to the live stage in the USA with a THREE NIGHT RESIDENCY at The Teragram in Los Angeles to celebrate his classic albums Replicas, The Pleasure Principle and Telekon on September 29, September 30, & October 1, 2015. Tickets for all dates will be available for purchase beginning this Friday, June 26th at 10:00 AM PST.
"Having spent most of the last two years touring Splinter, and with another hectic touring schedule being planned for the release of the new album next year, 2015 seems an ideal time to revisit the three albums that changed my life," says Numan about the three-night residency. "These three albums are now considered classics and being able to play each one in its entirety, over three nights in Los Angeles, will be very special for me. I very rarely look back at past glories but, with these shows, I intend to not only look back, but to celebrate those early days. Without those songs and experiences I wouldn't be here today. Splinter was widely considered to be one of the best, if not the best album I've ever made. With that achievement I've finally learned to be proud of my history, and that's what these shows are all about."
MUSIC NEWS- As he winds down his current series of Euro concert dates, singer-songwriter Jackson Browne has added additional USA tour dates in November to his previously announced run. This is his the second leg of his 2015 USA Summer tour to promote his new album, Standing In The Breach released in 2014 on his Inside Recordings label.
This September through November, joining Jackson on the road with his longtime band mates Bob Glaub (Bass), Mauricio Lewak (Drums), Jeff Young (Hammond Organ, Piano), Chavonne Stewart & Alethea Mills (Harmony Vocals), and Greg Leisz (Guitar, Lap Steel, Pedal Steel) are multi-instrumentalist-vocalist Larry Campbell and singer-guitarist Teresa Williams. Currently on tour in support of their own eponymous debut album, produced by Campbell, their music distills everything into a potent, infectious blend of Americana style and timeless soul, offered with a relaxed generosity that can only come from rich experience.
"I'm thrilled to be touring with Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams," said Jackson Browne. "We played together at Levon Helm's Midnight Ramble a few years ago, and I've been waiting for the chance to play with them again ever since. Larry has played in some of my all-time favorite bands, and I'm excited to hear what he brings to my songs as this tour unfolds. Teresa and I have a great vocal blend, as does she and Larry, and I'm looking forward to what happens when we introduce these longtime favorites of mine into my body of songs."
Standing In The Breach, Jackson's recent studio album, is a collection of ten songs, at turns deeply personal and political, exploring love, hope, and defiance in the face of the advancing uncertainties of modern life.
Music News- Wavves has been hard at work on a follow up album to last year's critically acclaimed Afraid of Heights. While they do, the band has revealed a new round of tour dates that will bring them across North America this summer. Twin Peaks supports on all dates while Swimmers is on board for the first half and Ghost Ramp signee Steep Leans finishes the second half of the tour.
Check out all of the dates below and stay tuned for more news from Wavves.
Patty Griffin Announces Tour Dates to Promote "Servant of Love"
MUSIC NEWS- Patty Griffin announces the release of her new album, Servant Of Love, in Europe on September 11 and the USA (and the rest of the world) on September 25. The album is the Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter's tenth album, and her first to be released on her new self-owned imprint in conjunction with Thirty Tigers. It marks the third time she has collaborated with producer Craig Ross.
In Servant of Love, Patty Griffin digs deep into folk and roots tradition with its grounding in the experience and rhythms of the everyday, but she also writes in the vein of another tradition, less often mined: the transcendentalism of writers like Emerson and Whitman. Grounding itself in the natural world and finding patterns there which speak both to human experience and to the call of the spirit, Griffin's new album weaves an elemental spell out of the stuff of life.
MUSIC NEWS- Jam rockers Phish has just released Amsterdam, an 8-CD box set containing three full live shows from 1997, recorded at Paradiso in The Netherlands. The recordings have been fully mixed and mastered from the band's multi-tracks, and the box set is available to order now from their Dry Goods store.
Back on on February 17, 1997, Phish first played Paradiso, a converted former church turned rock-club/cultural center with a capacity of about 1,500. Phish logged three breakthrough shows at this historic venue over four months that year (on February 17, July 1,and July 2, 1997), where the intimate setting pushed the music to new heights again and again. The recordings from these three shows comprise some of the most experimental music Phish has ever made. The Amsterdam box delivers the full impact of a shared peak experience in an exotic locale seamlessly integrated and sizzling with creative intensity.
MUSIC NEWS- Indie rock hero's Built to Spill have confirmed a batch of tour dates for September and October 2015. Tickets are on sale now.
Built to Spill have been touring to promote the new studio album, Untethered Moon, released this past April 21, by Warner Bros. Records. Once again, Doug Martsch & company have created a melodically rich song cycle that weaves memorable guitar textures with thoughtfully crafted lyrical passages open to the listener's own interpretation. The press, including MNN, continues to embrace each new album with open arms and ears.
Untethered Moon is produced by Martsch and Sam Coomes (from the band Quasi) and recorded entirely with Martsch playing all guitars along with new band members, Steve Gere (drums) and Jason Albertini (bass). As always BTS will continue to tour as the three-guitar army they have always been with Jim Roth and Brent Netson. Netson also has released his most recent album, Scavenger Cult, credited to Bret Netson & Snakes.
Music News - Due to injuries sustained in Dave Grohl's fall from the stage during Foo Fighters' June 12 show at Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden, his doctors have required the cancellation of the remainder of the band's dates in the UK and Europe. After undergoing surgery Monday, Dave's full recuperation time is still to be determined. We wonder if his reluctance to end the gig when injured worsened his condition.
It was previously announced that Foo Fighters' June 14 appearance at the Pinkpop Festival and June 16 show at the AFG Arena in St. Gallen, Switzerland were cancelled. The following dates have now also been cancelled.
Yesterday my song "Rockin' in the Free World" was used in an announcement for a U.S. presidential candidate without my permission.
A list of the cancelled dates is below.
Music News- Fresh off their triumphant and powerful Bonnaroo performance this past weekend, Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters are not ready to stop touring to promote what many critics are calling his greatest solo album, lullaby and...The Ceaseless Roar (out via Nonesuch/Warner Bros) Records. Now, the band announced new fall dates, including two shows at Lockn' Music Festival, as well as rescheduled ones to make up for last week's postponed shows in Toronto, Detroit and Chicago. Tickets already purchased will be honored at the re-scheduled shows. The complete list of dates is below from MNN. Tickets will go on sale this Friday, June 19 at 10am EDT via robertplant.com.
lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar was named one of the top 50 albums of the year by NPR, which said, "At 66, the singer is still a majestic rock presence, at peace with the legacy of his hard-rock-defining band Led Zeppelin, while remaining relentlessly creative in his solo work. But on his 10th solo album, Plant does pause by those waters to consider the aesthetic, emotional and spiritual currents that have shaped his illustrious life. He finds himself, characteristically, not saddened but renewed... Not one of these songs sounds precisely like its source; that's the genius of this album. It lovingly layers elements in ways that mirror memory, creating new constructs from floating shards of the musical past."
Music News- Cheap Trick announced today that tour co-headliner, Peter Frampton is unable to sing this evening. The group said that regrettably, he must cancel his performance at Red Rocks tonight. But the I L rockers, Cheap Trick will play a full headline gig for the crowd.
For those who wish to enjoy Cheap Trick and the beauty of Red Rocks, the group will start at 8:15p. But, if you do not want to attend, refunds are available at point of purchase but no partial refunds.
No word on guitarist Frampton's condition and if any other shows on his tour will be impacted. Currently schedule next for PF is 6/18 in Kansas City.
UPDATE 6/18- Fortunately, Peter's on the mend and the 6/18 show is a go!
MUSIC NEWS- Multi-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen will release her new album, E·MO·TION via Schoolboy Records/Interscope on August 21 in the USA.
Jepsen has also announced her new single "Run Away With Me" will be out in July with a video to follow soon. On August 21, Jepsen will perform "Run Away With Me," on The TODAY Show Summer Concert Series on NBC. She has recently performed on Good Morning America, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Saturday Night Live, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and Dancing With The Stars.
Music News- Alternative pop band Never Shout Never, aka Christofer Drew and his fellow bandmates,will release their brand new, highly-anticipated studio album, entitled Black Cat, on August 7 via Warner Bros. Records. The first single from the album "Hey! We OK," will be available as an instant download for those who pre-order.
Christofer, now just 24 years old, has been writing, recording and touring for nearly a decade and has become one of the most respected young songwriting forces of his generation. He began writing the songs that would appear on Black Cat in 2013, and brought an arsenal of tunes with him to the studio in 2014. Working over several months in Los Angeles with producer, Dennis Herring (Elvis Costello, Modest Mouse) and the band, two things happened that were firsts for Never Shout Never: (1) Christofer welcomed both the band and Herring to write with him, and (2) he embraced a preproduction process that helped them to shape and mold the songs before recording. Both practices proved inspirational and vital to the full, epic sound of Black Cat.

A manager with "positive intent" for his business violated the standard approval process before spending money with a vendor to obtain some IT hardware. He did this because it was close to the end of year holidays, and key senior management personnel were absent. He had email confirmations from the leaders affirming his intention to buy the hardware, but all of the signatures on purchase agreements required by his company were not obtained. If he bought the hardware before the year end, the business would save a considerable amount of money. So, thinking the emails were sufficient to allow him to act, he executed a purchase agreement to obtain the hardware.
Once the senior leaders returned from their holidays, they learned of the purchase that was made in violation of process and counseled the offending manager. Although they recognized his positive intent, he got his wrist slapped and was told not to do this again.
About 6 months later, a critical business area urgently needed some technical support, so – again with positive intent – the manager reacted quickly and arranged for specialist technical support to attend to the matter. He figured it would be ok to get the purchase authorization signatures later. What he actually got "later" was removed from his job for a repeat violation of spending authorization procedures.
In the first instance, the manager was doing what he thought best, not expecting the management team to react by counseling him. He "poked the bull" in a sensitive spot and it threatened to charge, despite the fact he was trying to help.
In the second instance, he also thought he was doing what was right for the business. However, he was "poking the bull" in the SAME sensitive spot" and expected a different result!
Now, I am too enthusiastic about using intelligent disobedience to simply say he should not have "poked the bull" the second time. My concern is that he DID IT ALONE. Before taking that action, he should have learned from his first experience and rallied to get some specific senior management support before violating the procurement process a second time. Instead, he went it alone; he poked the bull…and the bull charged…predictably.
It can be ok to take a "second run" at a sensitive area, the key to "intelligent" disobedience is to rally support if you can, or escalate the sensitivity of the business issue you are trying to tackle with the "powers that be." Before taking an action that stretches or violates the rules.
