Something really cool here! If you love The Roaches you will love Winterbloom. These four ladies have such beautiful voices and a great sence of humour which adds up to a fun Christmas concert in an intimate setting. It sounds like a small hall giving you the feel of a cozy ski weekend sing-a-long for about 100. This comes from my BigO archive. I downloaded a lot of music from that site in it's day. The BigO notes about this show are included for you below.

BigO Original Notes:
Think The Roches and The Refugees. Again, something soothing for the holiday season.

Winter is a time for gathering – and sometimes it’s even more fun to gather with friends than family! It’s in this spirit that a new holiday tradition has emerged – a tradition of friendship and music. For a third consecutive year [2012] songwriters Antje Duvekot, Anne Heaton, Meg Hutchinson and Natalia Zukerman will tour as “Winterbloom”.

From winterbloom.com:

In September 2008, Cambridge MA’s Club Passim manager Matt Smith booked the artists to perform in-the-round together at their popular “Cutting Edge of the Campfire Festival.” A rare occasion, since by that time all were already sell-out headliners at the venue individually. In that performance, the four women had so much fun, and audience response was so positive, they immediately booked three more shows together for that December.

In 2009, Duvekot, Heaton, Hutchinson and Zukerman reunited to create, write, arrange, record and perform together officially – and thus “Winterbloom” was born. They released a holiday EP entitled “Winterbloom: Traditions Rearranged” in 2009.

Thanks to mdshrk1 for recording the show and sharing the tracks at The Traders’ Den.

Well I've done some reposts for Christmas, here is something new (well it's being re-gifted let's say) off the hard drive. I didn't know I had this. I was just cleaning out a very full (always full) download folder and it was there. I though "Hey Merry Bruce-mas!". It's a fun show with some great guests, I think you all will enjoy it

What do you get when you take Led Zeppelin add Elvis on vocals, and have them play reggae versions of their famous songs. Sounds a little crazy doesn't it. That's what you get with Dread Zeppelin. Throw in some Beavis & Butthead style humor and there you have it.

Dread Zeppelin were born out of the ashes of The Prime Movers a post punk band out of Sierra Madre CA. The band had some success with hit singles and a 1986 tour with the UK band Big Country. After the tour the band returned to America to find all there contacts at Island Records had been fired. The label refused to release any new material but also refused to release the band from it's contract essentially killing the bands prospects. Other labels were interested but the band couldn't sign with anyone else.

The core members then formed Dread Zeppelin and started releasing their own records on there own label. The independent releases sold well enough to get the band signed to IRS Records. This relationship added up to 2 albums before the band was dropped, and once again started releasing their own product. The band has gone through some line up changes, but has stayed together. They have released 16 studio albums, 5 live albums and 3 DVDs.

This show catches the band opening for Joan Jett & The Blackhearts. So roll one up, slam a couple brews and skank along my friends.

The Fixx were all over MTV and radio in 1983. Reach The Beach, the bands 2nd album, had reached #8 on both the US & Canada Album Charts. This would be the bands most commercially successful period, releasing 2 Top Ten singles in "Saved By Zero" and "One Thing Leads To Another". The 3rd single "The Sign Of Fire" would reach #20 on the Top 40 Charts. The following albums would not do so well as the band struggled to equal their early commercial success. The Fixx still tours and records, as a matter of fact the line-up on this show, the classic line-up is still intact.

An acoustic performance from Live with new lead singer Chris Shinn. Chris does a pretty good job sounding like former lead vocalist Ed Kowalczyk. Now like others that have replaced famed lead singers, Tim "Ripper" Owens of Judas Priest, Jason Scheff of Chicago, and that short guy in Journey, Chris Shinn is no dead ringer but if you didn't know, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. The sound quality is really good, wish I could find a lossless version, until I can we have to deal with MP3.

Promoting the Duty Now for the Future & Freedom of Choice albums respectively. I remember when DEVO first appeared on DKRC in 1979. Like many of the episodes I watched it with my Dad. The spastic, quirky movements of the band, along with the some times atonal quality of the music, made an impression to say the least. My Dad sat quietly through the whole performance. When it ended my Dad stood up, shut off the TV and asked, "You listen to these guys son?" I replied "Yeah Dad I have both their records." My Dad looked at me and said, "Now I know You smoke dope."

This is a great performance and should make a fine addition to any DEVO fan's collection.
