The creation of the "Human Thing" video has been a rewarding collaboration between Kate Brown (an talented animator from New Mexico) and Frazey Ford of The Be Good Tanyas. Together the two of them came up with ideas and concepts for this charming story and Frazey took her first step into the world of rotoscoping (Rotoscoping is animation that's based on live-action photography). Kate spend countless hours creating the thousands of animated drawings by hand and all of us are keen for you to view the video, which you can watch above. Kate Brown discovered animation after 40 years as a potter. In 2001, she enrolled as an undergraduate at Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA and discovered her passion to study animation. URSA DREAM is her first film, each frame drawn or painted using techniques developed in her work with clay. The Be Good Tanyas's "Human Thing" music video another first for Kate. Kate Brown is also an acclaimed potter. Kate's pottery can be found on view at www.katebrownpottery.com . "It's Not Happening" from the album Chinatown "The Littlest Birds" from the album Blue Horse JOIN THE BE GOOD TANYAS MAILING LIST I am 13 years old or older. Email Address: Name: City: State/Province: country: zip: Gender: Male Female CD's/Tshirts available for purchase here BIO Their music has been described as beguiling, haunting, rustic, ambient, hobo-erotica, and goth-folk. They are Frazey Ford, Trish Klein, and Samantha Parton. They first met in the mountains of BC, at tree-planting camps and open-stages. After traveling separately they met again one particularly dark rainy, dismal winter in Vancouver. At Trish's Chinatown house they would get together to share songs and stories over red-wine and Chinese tea. Here they were joined by fellow-traveler, singer/fiddler, Texas-born minstrel Jolie Holland. Jolie introduced them to the songs of another mad traveler Obo Martin from whose song Be Good Tanya their name was culled. Bonded by their passion for old-tyme music and their love of vintage clothes they soon began performing everywhere they could from thrift stores,cafes, galleries and bars to the streets of East Vancouver, front porches and house parties. In the spring of 2000 they set out on the road to tour across America in Sam's 1977 Dodge Van. Braving fires, ice storms, bad road food, and laundry they gigged their way through the heartland of the south and down to New Orleans. When they made it back alive they hunkered down to record their debut album Blue Horse in the small studio/shack of their friend Futcher. Around this time Jolie left to return to San Francisco, but not before recording on a number of tracks most notably her stirring vocals on Lakes of Ponchartrain and her vocals on the Littlest Birds which she co-wrote with Sam Parton. After the release of Blue Horse, they continued to tour constantly around North America, over to the UK and once around Australia. They have graced the stages of numerous festivals and also played in many a stinky dive, but everywhere they have been received with enthusiasm and genuine approval. Throughout all this madness they managed to find time to record their second album; Chinatown. It's a good bunch of songs, old-tymey and new-tymey, lush harmonies, and raw soul delivery. Trumpet chops provided by the legendary Olu Dara. |

Music:Member Since: 8/22/2005Band Website: begoodtanyas.com/ Band Members: Sam Parton guitar, mandolin, banjo, piano, vocals Frazey Ford guitar, vocals Trish Klein guitar, banjo, harmonica, vocals QUOTES "I get to use the word 'beguiling' in a quote! That's what these three women are. The Be Good Tanyas, and in particular the tune 'Littlest Birds' totally insinuated themselves into the World Cafe listeners' minds. If there is room for something truly beautiful on your playlist - play this." - David Dye, World Cafe "The Be Good Tanyas have been a breath of fresh air on KGSR. Poppy but rugged, with beautiful harmonies offset by a down home rootsieness. Love 'em!" - Jody Denberg, KGSR/Austin "Be Good Tanyas was perhaps the most interesting debut of last year! Don't try to peg 'em....they'll change your mind on each track" - Rob Reinheart, Acoustic Cafe "BGT - we love 'em! We've been playing 'Littlest Birds' for 8 weeks now and it sounds great on the air--hooky, quirky and cool. This is roots music with an edge" - Rita Houston, WFUV/NY "BGT are much more than a typical vocal, rootsy trio - their songs are extremely well crafted and have a real edge to them, kinda like the BEST roots songs do" - Dan Reed, WFPK/Louisville "...the deep high lonesome singers we've only heard about before... the voices of angels, grounded in the tradition of the common man - unique and joyously poignant." - Bill Bourne, singer/songwriter Record Label: Nettwerk Records Type of Label: Indie |
