About Me |
|
| "Dry Grass & Shadows" as performed in Aberdeen, Scotland with Tom Bevitori on Bass.I am currently a wanderer, here and there and then back home to Nevada City- all these collections I've made- feathers! river rocks! antique lace! have been placed on a new window sill... The pines have my heart & I keep running back.You can purchase a digital version of "The Pirate's Gospel" on I-tunes. If you'd like an actual copy of "The Pirate's Gospel," please visit www.holocenemusic.com/shop. If you'd like a copy of "Songs Whistled Through White Teeth," a limited edition 10" released by Names Records in the UK, I am sorry to say that it is sold out. If you'd like a copy of a really awesome compilation of Nevada City folks, please visit www.grassrootsrecordco.com MyGen Profile Generator | |
My Interests |
|
Music:Member Since: 6/15/2005Band Website: aleladiane.com / holocenemusic.com Band Members: Alela Diane Menig- and magic has happened with: Dad- Tom Menig on Mandolin or Slide, Tom Bevitori on Bass, Mariee Sioux with her lovely voice, Alina Hardin's angel voice, Matt Bauer on Banjo, Michael Hurley's knee fiddle and my favorite duet, Otto Hauser's Percussion, Neal Morgan on Drums.... Many friends make sound! I thank them for making it with me. Influences: My parents singing in the kitchen- I'd wake to hear their songs- I'd fall asleep to them. Also, things heard when I was tiny--"Kate Wolf"- more folks should know her songs-they really speak for California. Old tapes of "Patsy Kline." Lindsey and I would sing along to "The Shangrilas." I thought my parents were listening to "Graceland" before any of my other friends, but I think Mariee's family must have beat us too it. Sounds Like: The deeper parts of the river. Record Label: Holocene(US)/ Names (UK)/Fargo(EU)/Rogue(AU) Type of Label: Indie |

on being in the house. |
|
| The other day, I went out to breakfast and ate oatmeal AND french toast, much like a tiny horse. When I got home at about noon, the house was very cold. Because I had nothing better to do,... Posted by Alela Diane. on Wed, 15 Mar 2006 04:05:00 PST |
