+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Artist : Barb | | Album : Barb | | Label : Yep Roc Records | | Year : 2010 | | Genre : Rock | | Rip date : Oct-24-2010 | | Store date : Aug-24-2010 | | Size : 60,1 MB | | | | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | | | 01 - Leo 03:19 | | 02 - Alcoholic Darling 04:38 | | 03 - Not A Bird 02:52 | | 04 - Please Don't Interrupt 05:09 | | 05 - Martin XII 03:20 | | 06 - Time To Contemplate 05:29 | | 07 - Beatman 02:45 | | 08 - Counting Sheep 03:15 | | 09 - 2004 05:07 | | 10 - Characterful 03:05 | | 11 - Nile 05:19 | | 12 - Looking Out Through Barb's Eyes 04:04 | | | | | | 48:22 min | | | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | BARB is a proper band! In a time where every rock star and their dog are | | joining forces - forming mildly celebrated, yet seemingly boring and | | predictable super-groups - comes the unique sound of BARB. With an | | Antipodeans darling line-up of Liam Finn, Lawrence Arabia, Connan | | Mockasin, Eliza-Jane and Seamus Ebbs, BARB aren't just counting on their | | individual indie laurels to get noticed in this dog-eat-dog existence. | | | | It was a mutual respect, awe and enjoyment of each other's company that | | fuelled this project. With Liam Finn and live cohort Eliza-Jane's | | constant touring (since the release of Finn's solo debut I'll Be | | Lightning and successive co-release Champagne in Seashells), Lawrence | | Arabia's busy schedule after the critical success of Chant Darling | | (subsequently leading to NZ's highest songwriting honour with the Silver | | Scroll Award), Connan Mockasin's ever morphing musical exoskeleton - | | which, at last count had taken him back and forth from NZ to the UK 16 | | times in the last year alone, and resulted in the wondrous Please Turn | | Me Into The Snat - and the enigma that is Seamus Ebbs, BARB's drummer | | who hadn't been seen by anyone for 3 years, and was said to be living in | | a part of NZ considered by most to be mythical - it's no wonder that | | wrangling these 5 intriguing individuals together was the trickiest part | | of making this record | | | | Seeding the first thoughts of BARB while all living in London, it took 3 | | years of fantasising, cross-pollinating and some humorous e-mail chains | | before these 5 friends found themselves back in NZ at Roundhead Studios, | | on the grim slopes of Newton, Auckland. "It seemed only natural" muses | | Liam. "We have been involved in each others music for so long... getting | | up to play at each others shows... touring together when possible, we | | knew starting a band together would be fun... but we had no idea what it | | would sound like." | | | | BARB's sound however, can only be described as 'different'. Different | | from what the band expected, different from the crap you hear when you | | turn on the radio, different from the latest Danger Mouse production, | | probably different from what this bio will lead you to imagine. Lush | | reverbs lure you into an organic, yet sexy world, where you can't tell | | if you've gone 40 years back in time, or 40 years into the future. | | Psychedelic songs about lesbian lovers, boat trips up the Nile, and even | | a 4 year old's obsession with teen heart-throb Leonardo DiCaprio leave | | you imagining what BARB really got up to during those 4 weeks of writing | | and recording. When the 5 sing together it is glorious, and makes you | | feel like an excited child again, rollicking fun and mischief, with | | darker touches of the absurd and the sick, each element sounding as | | sincere as the other. | | | | If the name BARB brings Pamela Anderson to mind - or possibly even the | | cruel design of a cat's penis - you're really in for a pleasant | | surprise. If BARB conjures up images of your auntie smoking a fag out on | | your Nana's porch? Fantastic! They only hope they will find a way into | | your accepting heart and contribute something exciting and new to this | | already evocative word. BARB! | | | | With all 5 members off again on their individual pursuits, one ponders | | how they can possibly nurture this ethereal musical baby, but the | | Universe works in wondrous ways, and like the making of this record, the | | life of BARB will be fated yet spontaneous. To be released in the U.S. | | on Yep Roc, don't miss your chance to get involved and personal with | | this not so famous, dare we say SUPER-GROUP, called: BARB. | | | | James Milne | | | | The alter ego of Lawrence Arabia or vice versa, Milne is known for his | | brutally honest lyrics which explore social commentary and poke fun at | | the idiocies of the human race. Charming melodies combined with simple | | but compelling arrangements are some of the reasons why this songwriter | | has turned heads throughout his home country of New Zealand, UK and the | | USA. Including winning the highly coveted annual Silver Scroll award in | | New Zealand and the inaugural Taite Prize, both songwriting awards for | | his recently released album Chant Darling, Lawrence Arabia creates some | | of the most special music to ring out from New Zealand in years gone by. | | | | Liam Finn | | | | One of New Zealand's most beloved young songwriters, Liam Finn has spent | | the last three years creating, releasing and touring his critically | | acclaimed debut album I'll Be Lightning. After leaving the band | | Betchadupa he created in his early teens with high school friends, Finn | | embarked on a project he wanted to create by himself with a stronger | | emphasis on exploration into melody and song than he had ever explored | | before. Now having toured the world with the likes of Pearl Jam, Wilco, | | Crowded House as well as his own headline tours through Europe and USA, | | Finn is forging a name for himself as an artist with a huge musical | | future, and an album which is an absolutely essential debut to own. | | | | EJ Barnes | | | | Certainly no stranger to the world of music, EJ is the second eldest | | daughter of Australian rock legend Jimmy Barnes. After having spent time | | touring in her dad's backing band straight from high school and spending | | the last three years traipsing the globe with Liam Finn as his musical | | partner in crime, EJ every now and then takes time to stop and arm | | herself with an acoustic guitar and her beloved auto-harp. Her song | | writing was something always hugely important to her and she recorded | | and released a solo album There And Back in 2007. Evocative, subtle and | | profound, EJ's beautiful voice and songwriting are the kind to resonate | | long after the first listen. She is currently in New York getting ready | | to release on her second record a collaboration with a fellow female | | Aussie folksinger they go by the name 'Evil J & Saint Cecilia'. | | | | Connan Mockasin | | | | Formerly bandleader of psychedelic 60's rock trio Connan and the | | Mockasins, Connan has delved into a form of pop music engulfed in | | psychedelia which explores avenues of a brain and imagination that has | | created worlds and characters delightful and fantastical. His debut solo | | record Please Turn Me Into The Snat has recently been released in New | | Zealand to unanimous praise and shows a songwriter savant with musical | | and lyrical ideas to burn. Never a dull moment with Connan Mockasin his | | live show is also a special experience usually thrown together with | | whichever musical talents are in the same area code as Hosford at the | | time. | | | | Seamus Ebbs | | | | A former jazz student with a penchant for explosive soulful drumming and | | chewing peppercorns, Seamus Ebbs was a founding member of Connan And The | | Mockasins and spent time touring New Zealand, UK and Europe with the | | band before they disbanded. Known as one of the most versatile and | | interesting drummers in the country, Ebbs is an integral part of the | | sound of BARB with the bands emphasis on rhythmical variation and | | originality. | | | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ This NFO File was rendered by NFOmation.net
