    west coast music Midnight Special Please find attached the Midnight Special song list for your review. SPECIAL DANCES for Weddings: Please note that we will need your special dance requests, (I.E. First Dance, Father/Daughter Dance, Mother/Son Dance etc) FOUR WEEKS in advance prior to your event so that we can confirm that the band will be able to perform the song(s) and that we are able to locate sheet music. In some cases where sheet music is not available or an arrangement for the full band is need- ed, this gives us the time needed to properly prepare the music and learn the material. Clients are not obligated to send in a list of general song requests. Many of our clients ask that the band just react to whatever their guests are responding to on the dance floor. Our clients that do provide us with song requests do so in varying degrees. Most clients give us a handful of songs they want played and avoided. Recently, we’ve noticed in increase in cli- ents customizing what the band plays and doesn’t play with very specific detail. If you de- sire the highest degree of control (allowing the band to only play within the margin of songs requested), we ask for a minimum of 100 requests. We want you to keep in mind that the band is quite good at reading the room and choosing songs that best connect with your guests. The more specific/selective you are, know that there is greater chance of losing certain song medleys, mashups, or newly released material the band has.

  • Haviah Mighty Has Won the 2019 Polaris Music Prize for the Album 13Th Floor
    HAVIAH MIGHTY HAS WON THE 2019 POLARIS MUSIC PRIZE FOR THE ALBUM 13TH FLOOR TORONTO, ON – Monday, September 16, 2019 Haviah Mighty has won the 2019 Polaris Music Prize for the album 13th Floor. “For me, the 13th floor is something that we remove from our reality because it is something that we don’t understand and therefore we dismiss it,” said Haviah Mighty. “This is very parallel to so many of the experiences that I speak on, on this album. I’m in a room with so many different people from so many different walks of life who have acknowledged that this is something they feel is important. These people don’t necessarily share the narratives that I ,do or the walks of life that I have, and yet, here we are, finally on what I believe is the 13th floor. This is the moment of resurgence where the dismissal that has existed is now being removed, and the discussion is being had. I’m so grateful that the people around me push me to be brave enough to speak my truth and to have it be acknowledged in this way.” The Prize, which was presented by CBC Music, goes to the best Canadian album of the year based on artistic merit without regard to genre, sales history or label affiliation. It was determined by a Grand Jury of 11 music media professionals drawn from the greater Polaris jury pool of 199 writers, editors, broadcasters, DJs and personalities from across the country. Haviah Mighty’s victory came with a $50,000 monetary reward.

  • Collective Memory and the Constructio
    Liljedahl: Recalling the (Afro)Future: Collective Memory and the Constructio RECALLING THE (AFRO)FUTURE: COLLECTIVE MEMORY AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF SUBVERSIVE MEANINGS IN JANELLE MONÁE’S METROPOLIS-SUITES Everywhere, the “street” is considered the ground and guarantee of all reality, a compulsory logic explaining all Black Music, conveniently mishearing antisocial surrealism as social realism. Here sound is unglued from such obligations, until it eludes all social responsibility, thereby accentuating its unreality principle. (Eshun 1998: -41) When we listen to music in a non-live setting, we do so via some form of audio reproduction technology. To most listeners, the significant part about the technology is not the technology itself but the data (music) it stores and reverberates into our ears (Sofia 2000). Most of these listeners have memories tied to their favourite songs (DeNora 2000) but if the music is at the centre of the history of a people, can the songs themselves be seen as a form of recollection? In this paper, I suggest that sound reproduction technology can be read as a storage of memories in the context of Black American popular music. I will turn my attention to the critical potential of Afrofuturist narratives in the field of memory- technology in order to focus on how collective memory is performed as Afrofuturist technology in Black American popular music, specifically in the music of Janelle Monáe. At play in the theoretical backdrop of this article are two key concepts: Signifyin(g) and collective memory, the first of which I will describe in simplified terms, while the latter warrants a more thorough discussion.

    25th Super Bock Super Rock New line-up announcement: Janelle Monáe July 20, Super Bock Stage July 18, 19, 20 Herdade do Cabeço da Flauta, Meco - Sesimbra superbocksuperrock.pt | facebook.com/sbsr | instagram.com/superbocksuperrock After the line up confirmations of Lana Del Rey, Cat Power, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Christine and The Queens, there’s another feminine talent on her way to Super Bock Super Rock: the North American Grammy-nominated, singer, songwriter, arranger and producer Janelle Monáe, performs on July 20 at the Super Bock Stage. JANELLE MONÁE Janelle Monáe Robinson was born and raised in Kansas City but soon felt the need to go in search of her dreams and headed out to New York. She enrolled in the American Musical and Dramatic Academy and at the time, her goal was to make musicals. Life ended up givigin Janelle some other possibilities and shortly thereafter, she began to participate in several songs by Outkast, having been invited by Big Boi. She began to appear under the spotlight thanks to her enormous talent, being a multifaceted and very focused artist. She released her first EP in 2007, “Metropolis: Suite I (The Chase)”. These first songs caught the producer Diddy’s eyes (Sean “Puffy” Combs) who soon hired Janelle for his label, Bad BoY Records. Her first Grammy nomination came at this time with the single “Many Moons”. Three years later, in 2010, Monae released her debut album. “The ArchAndroid” was inspired by the German film “Metropolis”, which portrays a futuristic world, a dystopian projection of humanity. The album’s whole concept raised some ethical issues and enriched the songs, these authentic pop pearls, filled with soul and funk.
