No, Dave has lead (or the only non-harmony parts) on Gulf War. Gosh - it really has been rare in setlists lately!! After you've stood at the base of the small stage in Kirkland Arts Center, looking slightly up at them as they do Gulf War, you'll never forget who sings which parts again.. ahh... And, you have a chance to do just that in Dec! Whether or not the do Gulf War... we'll have to wait and see, I guess. - -Zard From a contest in the Wash.

(An English major) Go Früvous! this really is great for the guys. :) To actually add some new info here, I noticed, while recently ording from CDNow, that they were out of tapes for one of the albums and listed another as "low stock."

Um, actually I don't see how anyone can really be given credits for "Lead" vocals on GWS. It is mostly 3 and 4 part harmonies. There are alomst no solos except "...that I would fight you for me." and that is Dave. If anyone sings "Lead" it is definitely Dave. Also, Colleen Campbell wrote: > Er, no. Dave wrote "Gulf War Song," by himself, presumably before he > was officially part of Moxy Fruvous. On the indie tape jacket, it's > credited to "Matheson 1991." Ooh now that is interesting. I didn't know that one, since I am still sans indie tape (workin' on those frumiles though!) However, as far as it being before fruvous, that doesn't totally jibe with what Mike was saying at Frucon about writing songs like Cedric and GWS that are ambivilent on a subject. He made it sound more like a group effort. Of course I know better than to believe any frustatement too strongly! The trick is to get used to the idea that you will never know the whole truth. :D A.J. - -- _____ _ / ____(_) | | _ ___ ___ _ __ ___ | | | |/ __/ _ \ '__/ _ \ | |____| | (_| __/ | | (_) | \_____|_|\___\___|_| \___/ @wwnet.com ICQ#: 13117113 ------------------------------ Date: 8 Oct 1998 04:00:46 GMT From: jenncyn@aol.com (JennCyn) Subject: Re: Do it Rockapella! Okay. Several things at once here. First off -- The Show! Yes, Rockapella is finally coming to Seattle, for the first time in the group's 12-year career. (took 'em bloody long enough.) Yes, m-pact is opening for them. Yes, it's going to be a hell of a show, and I fully expect to see some of you there. ;) Thanks to Heather for putting in a good word for it. Words o'Wisdom (tm) from Vika: > Hmm... I'll have to disagree here, Heather. In a capella circles, >Rockapella certainly don't need any publicity. I haven't seen *their* >Folger's commercial on TV, but I've seen other commercials for this >company, and as TV ads go, they aren't bad. I don't think this needs >to be viewed as the group's "selling out", just because it does give >them some great publicity. Ahh, the strange but lucrative world of advertisements and corporate gigs. (Can anyone here say "Southwest Airlines"? ;) Rockapella has actually done a substantial number of ads and in-house productions -- ads you may have heard included Budweiser, Almond Joy/Mounds, and of course Folgers. I once heard a commercial reel of theirs that had stuff for Showtime, HBO, Advil, Club Med, you name it, it was probably on there. And in Japan, a country where having your music on an ad is a VERY big deal, their songs have been used for everything from IBM to credit cards. When it comes right down to it, a lot of their so-called "soup gigs" have been very high-profile, and face it, they pay good. :) As for Folgers, I don't think it's selling out. It was a very classy ad, really, and I think it's hilarious how much name mention and publicity Rockapella did get within the context of the commercial. It's as much a commercial for them as it is the product. Beneficial all around.... Oh, and speaking of corporate gigs, did I ever mention that m-pact did a whole bunch of gigs for MuchMusic....? Back to Rockapella: >>They're still great - even if Sean >>(the guy with the braids) is gone (sigh). > Braids?... Braids. Many of them. Bleached blond, some of them with leaf-shaped fasteners at the ends. They got shorn off on national television on the last episode of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? ..... so it's been a while now..... - - jenn - --- for further evidence of my loyalties, view: :) http://www.halcyon.com/griffee/rockapella/ http://www.halcyon.com/griffee/moxy/ ------------------------------ End of alt.music.moxy-fruvous digest V1 #3 ******************************************
