Anyone heard "Late Tuesday"? I saw this writeup in Paste - sounds
interesting.
<<<Late Tuesday¹s approach is deceptively simple. With the disarming façade
of three young, pretty girls with guitars and pianos, you expect a simple
ordeal of acoustic coffeeshop-folk, but Late Tuesday has made a name for
themselves by overturning expectations. Their style embodies a full range of
influences, from low-key singer-songwriters like Aimee Mann to big-sound
folk-pop stars like Sarah McLachlan and even Ben Folds. Writing all their
own material and playing all their own instruments, this trio stands out
from the crowd with powerful melody, complex harmonies, and an uncommon
ability to stir the emotions.
Their national and worldwide following has increased by leaps and bounds
with each progressive release, beginning with their highly successful
self-titled debut in 2001, followed by 2002¹s Looking for Flowers Again, and
2004's Remember We Forget. From 2001 to 2004 they've sold nearly 9000 CD's
independently, and those numbers continue to climb as they tour an
ever-widening circuit.
Formed in early 2000, Late Tuesday is a three-piece consisting of Dana
Little (vocals, keys, Rhodes), Tara Ward (vocals, guitar, keys, Rhodes) and
Jocelyn Feil {vocals, acoustic & electric guitar). They soon acquired a
backup rhythm section to fill out their sound, but the girls are the heart
of the band, sharing vocal and songwriting duties equally between the three
of them. This effortless blend of three distinct individual styles creates a
dynamic that is always fresh and full of motion. It shines especially bright
in their fun, energetic live shows, which have drawn big crowds to such
notable venues as the Sweetwater Saloon (SF), Triple Door (Seattle), Mt.
Baker Theater (Bellingham), Hotel Café (Hollywood), EMP, Tractor Tavern, and
local BlueTree concerts with 300-500+ fans.
Late Tuesday¹s latest release sees them developing and maturing as artists,
with a new level of emotional and sonic complexity, diversity, and
experimentation that pushes the boundaries of the alt-pop genre. This strong
step forward promises to widen their appeal to previously untouched corners
of the music world as they continue to share their unique voice throughout
the western U.S and beyond.">:>>>
