  • Healing Stone (Yothu Yindi – Bio 2004)
    Biography Pronounced as "yo-thoo yin-dee", the band's name translates from Yolngu matha to English as "child and mother" and is essentially a kinship term referring to the connection that the Yolngu (Australian Aboriginal) clans of north-east Arnhem Land have between themselves. Even in their earliest stages, Yothu Yindi were recognised as a unique act. They combined the sounds and instrumentation of western rock 'n' roll with songs and performances that date back tens of thousands of years. They took the ancient song cycles of north-east Arnhem Land - featuring such traditional instruments as the bilma (ironwood clapsticks) and yidaki (didgeridoo or hollow log) - and juxtaposed them with western pop sounds to present a true musical meeting of two diverse cultures. They took traditional Yolngu dance performances - describing the behavior of crocodiles, wallabies, brolga and other fauna of their homelands - and worked them into the context of contemporary performance. The result is a band that's been hailed as "the most powerful blend of indigenous and modern music to emerge from the world music scene". Coming together in 1986, Yothu Yindi consists of both Yolngu (Aboriginal) and Balanda (non-Aboriginal) musicians and embodies a sharing of cultures. The band promotes the strength of Yolngu culture, presenting non-Aboriginal people throughout the world with an opportunity to appreciate and enjoy aspects of that ancient culture. The band recorded their first album Homeland Movement in Australia's bicentennial year, 1988. Combining contemporary western rock with the traditional song cycles of the Gumatj and Rirratjingu clans of north-east Arnhem Land, Homeland Movement was recorded in one day and mixed in another and won the band a contract with Australia's leading independent record company, Mushroom.

  • Hothouse Flowers – Hothouseflowers.Com
    Hothouse Flowers – hothouseflowers.com Say It With Flowers With their fifth and latest studio album, ‘Into Your Heart’, Hothouse Flowers are planning to steal their way into hearts everywhere. "The one thing I tell everyone," says Hothouse Flowers guitarist Fiachna O’Braonain, "is that this record is the most raw, soulful record we have ever done." Coupling the Flowers’ hunger for a solid soul sound along with the distinctive, instantly recognisable vocals of lead singer Liam O Maonlai, ’Into Your Heart’ is the sound of a band in love with their music - and completely comfortable with the many roots and sources that give their music its unique vibe. 'Your Love Goes On', the first new single from the record, debuted as the highest-ranking new single that week in the Irish charts. With the February 6th release of ‘Into Your Heart’ in Ireland and a scheduled mid-March release in the UK, the band plans to tour extensively behind the record. Additional world/regional releases are being planned throughout the year. With the pressure long gone off the band as Ireland’s next big thing, Liam, Fiachna, Peter O’Toole, bassist, and drummer Dave Clarke can get on with the more enjoyable task of making albums according to their own pace. Recent years have seen them play festivals in Europe and take on concert tours across North America where Rolling Stone magazine once dubbed them ‘the best unsigned band in Europe’. This coming year expect to hear a lot more from the Flowers as they make their way into more and more hearts around the world.
