Outside Inside: Prairie Prince 'The Tubes' Rock MEDIA INQUIRIES For Immediate Release Kristin Carlson Think All Day Outside Inside: Prairie Prince ‘The Tubes’ Rock Drummer/Painter 505-501-2497 To Create Contemporary Murals in Santa Fe Home [email protected] November 30-December 4, 2013 “I’m on the outside/Even though I’m right now, I’m inside the tube/ But I’m telling you how it is from the outside/Outside looking inside.” -The Tubes, Outside Lookin’ Inside (Outside Inside, 1983) SANTA FE, NM (November 21, 2013)—Renowned international visual and recording artist Prairie Prince of San Francisco has been commissioned to design and paint original murals for the interior of a newly renovated historic home in Santa Fe. The residence, owned by Cathy and Chris Stoia (most recently of Los Angeles) is a luxurious and lovingly maintained Pueblo style adobe located in the scenic foothills east of downtown. “Santa Fe has an active film community and art community; it was a perfect match to everything we wanted at this point in our lives. We found this home just by chance and when we walked in, I knew we could make it our dream house,” said Ms. Stoia. Artist Prairie Prince will be available Saturday, November 30th through Monday, December 4th for onsite interview and photo opportunities with members of the press at the Stoia residence off Old Santa Fe Trail in Santa Fe. To schedule an appointment, or to request high-resolution images, please contact: Kristin Carlson, Think All Day Design + PR, at 505-501-2497 or [email protected]. Photos Courtesy Prairie Prince // (L) Painting Shania Twain’s set at Caesar’s Palace Las Vegas 2012 (R) At Los Poblanos, Albuquerque 2013 MEDIA INQUIRIES Founding member and drummer of The Tubes, Prince has played and recorded with Kristin Carlson Brian Eno, David Byrne, Tom Waits, Jefferson Starship, Todd Rundgren, and many Think All Day others. He continues to play worldwide as a 40-year member of The Tubes, 505-501-2497 international tour drummer for Todd Rundgren, and session artist in studios across [email protected] the US. In addition to his extraordinary music career, Prince studied painting at the San Francisco Art Institute. Raised in Arizona with two older sisters who offered a wealth of musical influences, Prince was exposed to swing, jazz, blues, rock and roll, and visual art from an early age. “Both my parents were music-lovers, and my father played drums in his youth. My mother was an artist and encouraged pursuing both music and art during my entire childhood, which I did and still do,” said Prince. “I’m inspired by rhythm and listening to music while I’m painting, and by lighting and visions of what music must ‘look’ like when I’m drumming; they work well together, and I think I will always attempt to combine the two.” With Michael Cotten (former Tubes member), Prince has designed and painted some of the world’s largest and most famous murals: ‘Flying Records’ on A&M Records’ exterior in Hollywood; ‘Crashing Waves’ on San Francisco’s Cliff House; and art deco themed-walls for Chemical Bank of New York at Rockefeller Center. They have also painted murals for brands including I. Magnin, Macy’s, The Limited, Federated Stores, and grand-scale interiors for casinos and clients throughout the US, Europe, Mexico, and Japan. Since the late 1990s, Prince has been a muralist and decorative painter at the Thorton House in San Francisco, a residence designed by Palace of Fine Arts architect Willis Polk (1915). Photo Courtesy Cathy Stoia // Dining Room Stoia explains: “As far as asking Prairie to create the special paintings for our house, I met him while he was touring with Todd Rundgren and I was managing Todd’s merchandise. We became fast friends with common likes and creative sensibilities. Prairie knows my taste and also has a fascination with the Southwest style all his own.” Prince elaborates: “Cathy and I have worked together on projects for HBO and its actors and producers during her LA days. She was a big fan of both Todd and The Tubes when we first met, and when she and Chris moved here to Santa Fe, I decided to apply my hand to their interior design. The murals will be a work in progress, however many years it takes until I run out of ideas!” MEDIA INQUIRIES Prince cites his biggest interest in transforming the inside of a room as the French Kristin Carlson trompe l’oeil technique, which has been used since the 14th century to trick the eye— Think All Day particularly through creating false frames and window-like images that appear to be 505-501-2497 physical openings in a wall or ceiling. “It’s semi-surrealistic in nature, taking the viewers [email protected] out of their environment and in to new surroundings.” In the Stoias’ Santa Fe project, Prince has worked to eliminate the square corners of the walls and replace them with a recreation of the home’s exterior roofline, sky, and feel of approaching the horizon: “Outside looking inside—I’ve always loved that concept.” In the Stoias’ home, Prince incorporates traditional Native American art and South- west style, calling on his upbringing in Phoenix and influences from the Navajo Nation and Hopi Tribe in Arizona and Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico. For the dining room, he has blended the ceiling color into the structure’s natural adobe, lightening tonalities as the image grows closer to the horizon line. The kiva fireplace in the sitting room incorporates a geometric Zuni scheme of grass blades and birds, while the dining table’s feathered pattern is inspired by a Navajo rug design from a piece in his personal collection. “I’ve tried to incorporate the ecology of the local Santa Fe landscape into the murals, and I’ve also placed my own personal stamp onto the outdoor guest tee- pee—‘Prairie’ fire, with images of trees and smoke.” During his early December visit, Prince will proceed with new paintings in the second story master suite. Photo Courtesy Cathy Stoia // Sitting Room MEDIA INQUIRIES ABOUT PRAIRIE PRINCE Born in 1950 in Charlotte, North Carolina, Prairie Prince was raised in Arizona where he Kristin Carlson and friend Roger Steen started a band during their high school years. After uniting with Think All Day fellow Arizonan Bill Spooner, the group became The Tubes and has since produced 19 505-501-2497 albums and over 40 years of national and international touring.

  • Coming of Age in the Milky Way Has Made Its Way on Sturdy Legs
    COMING OF AGE IN THE MILKY WAY TIMOTHY FERRIS For Carolyn If I could write the beauty of your eyes And in fresh numbers number all your graces, The age to come would say, “This poet lies— Such heavenly touches ne’er touched earthly faces.” —SHAKESPEARE PREFACE TO THE PERENNIAL EDITION If, as is often suggested, writing a book is like giving birth, publishing a book is like watching one’s child graduate from college. The author hopes that the book will have a healthy life of its own, going off into the world and requiring little more in the way of parental help or guidance. The longer the book fares well, the less the author matters: Such is the apt, implicit bargain struck by parents with their children, and authors with their books. This author has had occasion to feel proud of this child. During the fifteen years since its publication, Coming of Age in the Milky Way has made its way on sturdy legs. Critics have been kind to it, professors have taught it, and readers around the world have proved gratifyingly loyal to it. So why, now, is the author injecting himself back into its affairs, like a father preposterously hogging the spotlight at his daughter’s wedding? Principally because fifteen years is a long time in astronomy and cosmology, during which new and exciting things have happened. Some readers—the professors especially—have asked if a new edition might not be prepared, to update the unfolding story of humanity’s investigations into the nature of space and time.

  • A Conversation with Steve Kimock by Frank Goodman (Puremusic 6/2002)
    A Conversation with Steve Kimock by Frank Goodman (Puremusic 6/2002) I’ve done interviews before with friends, but never someone I’ve known as long and as well as I know Steve Kimock. We lived and played together in The Goodman Brothers in PA and CA for six years and then re-formed a time or two afterward, and did a number of assorted gigs here or there. I don’t know how many shows, a lot. After a long lifetime of being a musician, a ten year stretch at Mesa/Boogie (mostly in sales, which brought me into contact with quite a few good guitar players), and six years in Nashville, it’s amazing to be able to say that Steve is still, and has always been, my favorite guitar player. We met him at the first gig that I’d ever had to cancel cause I was sick, the Queen Victoria near Allentown, PA. Brother Billy and his LA girlfriend Peggy went out to check out who filled in. He told me the next morning, “Man, you shoulda seen it. These young cats, really good, playing Beatles tunes in German and shit. This absolutely amazing guitar player, we couldn’t believe it. I told Peggy to go up and say hi to him, and I followed behind. She did her voodoo Louisiana thing, and introduced herself. Without even saying his name, he spouted, as fast as you can say it: ‘Wanna see a picture of John McLaughlin playing a gold top Les Paul?’ and whipped his wallet out, displaying the photo.” The next day he came out to the farm, had some of our mother’s cooking, and never left.

  • Pressed on 180 Gram HQ, This Specially Packaged Release Includes New Artwork and a Full CD of the Album
    RED HOUSE RECORDS Publicity Contact: Ellen Stanley • [email protected] • (651) 644-4161 HOT TUNA Steady As She Goes RHR-CD-241 • Release Date: April 5, 2011 RHR-LP-241 • Release Date: May, 2011 Iconic roots rockers return with their first new studio album in 20 years! Red House Records is pleased to announce the April 5, 2011 release of Steady As She Goes, the first new album in twenty years from the legendary Hot Tuna. Featuring Rock & Roll Hall of Famers and Jefferson Airplane founding members Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen, the band celebrates over four decades of playing together. Now, with the release of their Red House debut, they prove that they remain one of the most innovative bands in American music. Why did it take so long for Hot Tuna to record a new album? “Well, it just worked out that way,” Kaukonen says. “Hot Tuna never quit playing. The moment just wasn’t right before; now it is, and we have a great project to show for it.” Returning to upstate New York decades after Kaukonen and Casady first played Woodstock, they went into Levon Helm’s studio over the winter to record twelve new tracks with mandolin player Barry Mitterhoff and drummer Skoota Warner (Cyndi Lauper, Matisyahu, Santana). Working with famed producer Larry Campbell (who Kaukonen worked with on his last solo album River of Time) the band plugged in for the electric Hot Tuna album that fans have been waiting for. Taking no prisoners, the band tears into it, kicking off with the rocking Americana number “Angel of Darkness” (co- written by Kaukonen and Campbell).

  • Addio a Paul Kantner, “The Brain” Dei Jefferson Airplane
    Addio a Paul Kantner, “the brain” dei Jefferson Airplane È morto a 74 anni il chitarrista Paul Kantner, uno dei fondatori della band Jefferson Airplane. Lo riporta il San Francisco Chronicle. Protagonista della scena musicale della west coast americana, Kantner è stato stroncato giovedì 28 gennaio da un attacco di cuore a San Francisco, la città in cui era nato il 17 marzo 1941. Chi era Paul Kantner? Ecco cosa scrive sul sito ufficiale dei Jefferson Airplane Greg Gildersleeve (1998). Anche se non ha mai scritto o cantato come voce leader nessun brano di successo, Paul Kantner ha avuto un impatto maggiore di qualsiasi altro membro sui Jefferson Airplane/Starship. È suo il record della più lunga, ininterrotta appartenenza (19 anni) alla band, ed è stato a volte l’unico membro delle origini della band presente in eventi con JA. Il suo interesse per la fantascienza l’ha portato a trasformare i Jefferson Airplane nei Jefferson Starship, e, in tutto questo, ha presieduto alla democrazia sregolata e talvolta disordinata della band. Se Marty Balin era l’anima della band, e Grace Slick il suo volto, Paul Kantner potrebbe esserne considerato, the brain, il cervello. | 1 Addio a Paul Kantner, “the brain” dei Jefferson Airplane L’unico nativo di San Francisco tra gli iniziatori degli Airplane/Starship, Paul Lorin Kantner nasce il 17 marzo 1941, da Paul S. e Cora Lee (Fortier) Kantner.
