spring arrives/recording/Beirut

17 April 2009

xxximagesxxx

i must apologize to anyone who looks at this stuff and hasn’t seen any new posts for a while…
we are indeed working on a new recording for Blondie… i’ve seen a few things about when the record is due out, take it from me that there is no release date as of now… we are in the midst of putting it together…
this is the very first record that is being worked up on a computer and i am loving working with Logic the Mac program… what also is unique about the way this record is shaping up is that this is absolutely the first time ever that we are going into making a record with a surplus of material… currently i am dealing with fifteen or so tracks with more being created… various members are contributing stuff i dont exactly know how we are gonna handle having so many new songs, any one with a suggestion please let me know… in previous records we would sometimes be still writing when we were in with a producer
on april 10th we went to see Beirut play at the Electric Factory in Philly… you may recall these guys are my current favorite for more than a year or so now… we got to meet Zach and his band mates for the first time, terrific… Mr. Condon has as much charisma in person as is evident on the many Beirut vids that we watch on line
live, Beirut presents a slightly tougher more aggressive sound than what is on the recordings but the quality and substance is all there… i get a little fatigued after all this time with the endless re-defining of rock music and seeing the large crowd of young kids cheering non-rock music, music that in a way might have more in common with jazz is gratifying… the guys in the band are great musicians its good to see music that isnt just about deafening audio levels…  the Beirut fans are devoted and many songs turned into sing alongs… it was really nice to see the crowd all yelling their enthusiasm when the band lifted their horns to play passages from the songs
Beirut is on to Europe in May; i would urge all of you there to try and check them out

Deborah Harry in new play NANCY AND NICOLE in New York

10 February 2009

Pop superstar and acclaimed actress DEBORAH HARRY plays the leading role of the mysterious General in a staged reading of NANCY AND NICOLE, a comic thriller by TOM SIME. The play, presented by The Modern Stage, launches “Oh. Nine. A Play Reading Series” at the Bleecker Street Theatre, 45 Bleecker Street in the NoHo area of New York City’s East Village, on Monday, Feb. 9 at 8 pm.

Deborah plays an enigmatic foreign General encountered by a pair of hapless smugglers stranded far from home. The guys aren’t sure if the General is friend or foe, but she’s their only hope of escape. The playwright describes this suspenseful comedy as “the adventures of two straight guys in a gender-bent world.”

NANCY AND NICOLE will be the first of nine plays by Modern Stage founder TOM SIME scheduled for the series, which marks his debut as Writer in Residence at the theater. The readings will be performed Monday nights at 8 p.m. starting Feb. 9 and ending March 30, with no performance on March 16.

Admission to the readings is a $10 suggested donation. Each reading is followed by a free reception. No reservations are needed or taken; admission is first-come, first-serve, pay at the door. The readings will be performed in the theater’s downstairs space.

The theater, also the venue of the hit comedy Sleepwalk With Me, is located at the corner of Bleecker and Lafayette, a block north of Houston Street and just down the street from the Public Theater. Nearby subway stations include Broadway-Lafayette for the B-D-F-V lines and Bleecker Street on the 6.

Coincidentally, the theater is also less than a block away from 315 Bowery, former location of the late, hallowed nightclub CBGB, where Ms. Harry’s massively popular, influential and still-thriving band Blondie gained early fame.

For more information, call the theater at 212 260 8250 or email modernstagenyc@yahoo.com. On the web: www.themodernstage.com
