    VIOLENT FEMMES AND THE TASMANIAN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA World Premiere Monday 22 & Tuesday 23 January Due to popular demand Mona Foma today announced an extra show for the world premiere of the Violent Femmes performing with the TSO. For two nights only, the Violent Femmes will take their acoustic punk-rock and work with the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra to reimagine it as a full orchestra experience. Conducted by Hamish McKeich they’ll perform a long list of cult classics such as Add It Up, Blister In The Sun, Kiss Off, Gone Daddy Gone, American Song and Gimme The Car at The Federation Concert Hall on Monday 22 and Tuesday 23 January. “Most rock bands would blow off an orchestra with the amplifiers, but for these two shows we’re prepared to back off on the volume and actually play almost at the same volume as the orchestra musicians and create a more unified approach, “ said Brian Ritchie. The Violent Femmes were formed in 1981 as an acoustic band playing on the streets of Milwaukee. Their main influences at that time were Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps and The Velvet Underground. Enduring a couple of hiatuses throughout their 36-plus year career, the band — original members Gordon Gano and Brian Ritchie, along with drummer John Sparrow have been performing steadily since reuniting again in 2013. The TSO’s performance with the Violent Femmes represents another innovative collaboration for the orchestra, which in 2017 alone has seen sold out concerts with vocal star Kate Miller-Heidke, a Dark MOFO collaboration with Norwegian metal band Ulver, an original show with comedy trio Tripod and a sold out concert with ARIA award-winning and multi-platinum artist Megan Washington.

Please bear in mind that you are reading the spoken word rather than the written word. Oral History Number: 473-007 Interviewee: (John) Chris Badgley Interviewer: Leif Fredrickson Date of Interview: November 21, 2019 Project: Missoula Music History Oral History Project Leif Fredrickson: This is Leif Fredrickson interviewing Chris Badgley. Did I pronounce your name right? Chris Badgley: Perfect. LF: November 22, 2019, or 21st—one of those two. CB: I think it's the 2ast. LF: Yeah, the 21st century, somewhere in there, and we're in Missoula, Montana. So, let's just start. Can you tell me where you were born and raised? CB: Certainly, I was born in Ohio; however, I don't feel I’ve ever been there because we left after six months. My father was at Johns Hopkins after that where we were until my mother had stroke and we moved back to Missoula when I was six, I believe. They were both born and raised here and so moved back here because they knew where they stood, and Mom needed a lot of help. I moved back to Missoula then and was raised here up until I was 18. Went through the Missoula county public school system, Hellgat High, and graduated half a year early and got out of town in search of music, a scene, excitement—all those things one leaves home for.

  • Violent Femmes Hotel Last Resort Bio FINAL 2
    VIOLENT FEMMES HOTEL LAST RESORT bio Gordon Gano: lead vocal, guitar Brian Ritchie: acoustic bass guitar, baritone guitar, vocal, percussion John Sparrow: BBQ, snare, tom, percussion, vocal Blaise Garza: baritone, contrabass and sopranino saxophones, vocal, piano, harmonium, theremin, percussion Violent Femmes 10th studio album, HOTEL LAST RESORT, resides among the groundbreaking band’s finest work, simultaneously refining and redefining their one-of-a-kind take on American music, mingling front porch folk, post punk, spiritual jazz, country blues, avant garde minimalism and golden age rock ‘n’ roll into something still altogether their own. Founded and fronted of course by singer/ guitarist Gordon Gano and acoustic bass guitarist Brian Ritchie, the Milwaukee-born combo remains as warm, wise and weird as ever before, with such new favorites as “Another Chorus” and “Everlasting You” continuing to mine the vast range of ideas, melodic complexity and organic sonic craftsmanship that has characterized the band’s body of work since their landmark self-titled 1983 debut. “I think it’s probably the best [album] we’ve made since HALLOWED GROUND,” Ritchie says. “We didn’t really know that we had something to say, but it turns out that the songs are really good and we were able to sink our teeth into them and come up with something which is just as good as anything we’ve ever done. I’m even a little bit surprised myself.” Violent Femmes are undeniably one of the most inventive and original bands of this or any other era, constantly pushing forward with their singular blend of folk and punk, sarcasm and spirituality.

  • Acadian Fiddling Traditions
    Acadian Fiddling Traditions !by Devon Léger When two Acadians meet, the first things we ask each other are along the lines of “Where are you from,” Where’s your family from,” or “What’s your last name?” Acadians are people of a diaspora, a forced migration that spread from our homeland in Eastern Canada throughout the Western world, and to this day there’s a kind of inbred need in us to try and trace our roots back to some kind of common ground. That diaspora is why, try as we might, it’s so hard to define Acadian traditional music. Each region where Acadians settled has its own traditions, and Acadians have always been very accepting and curious about surrounding cultures. Acadians are also a pacifistic people. That’s part of the legend of the Acadians, that by choosing not to choose sides in the French-English wars, we were expelled from Nova Scotia by the British in 1755, an event known as Le Grand Dérangement, or the Great Deportation. It’s a kind of spirit that lasts to this day in the Acadian willingness to accept new influences and new ideas, certainly in music. In a sense, this differentiates Acadians in Canada from our French-speaking cousins in Québec. Québécois culture has a strong streak of independence from the Anglophone world that you don’t find in Acadian culture or music (though early Québécois musicians were just as happy to borrow from Anglophone sources). This also explains why you’ll hear so little traditional Acadian music when you travel to New Brunswick or Nova Scotia, but will hear lots of Down East fiddling, Cape Breton Scottish fiddling, Acadian bluegrass, or straight country.
