Other Info
I have waited soooo long for these guys to come to Indy. Can't Wait! It should be a great show. Here's what Radio Radio has to say....

A darling of its local scene in Chapel Hill, N.C., Roman Candle evolved near the UNC campus in the late '90s. The band's tight, narrative lyrics, whole-hearted roots rock and invigorating dynamic turned many heads, including label heads that eventually shelved The Wee Hours Revue. That album wasn't picked up for another four years, but still lit the pages of critics' review.

Roman Candle has now released its third studio LP, Oh Tall Tree in the Ear. It has touches of lyrical dreaminess, a bit of pop and some North Carolina back roads charm.

Picking Wedding Ceremony Songs

Hardest. Thing. Ever. So I am recruiting help. Of course Edwin will be in there somewhere. I’m just trying to decide on the perfect song. And probably a Counting Crows song as well. Here is what I’ve definitely decided on so far….

I Will – The Beatles

Come Around – Rosi Golan

Today – Josh Radin

Gotta Have You – The Weepies

That’s it. I need help people!! Is there a good song for when the parents are being ushered down the aisle?? Can’t find the perfect one. Any ideas??

1119 Prospect St
Indianapolis, IN 46203
Other Info
Combining elements of jazz, pop and funk, this New York City-based group creates a singular sound with memorable melodies and unique, sophisticated harmonies. Fronted by the clear sultry voice of singer songwriter Elizabeth Ziman, they are attracting a buzz from the music press.

Elizabeth wrote her first song at age six, banging out melodies on an old upright in a Greenwich Village laundry room. A born romantic, Elizabeth transformed the music of Debussy, molding it to the driving rhythms of the washer and dryer. With Debussy and Bach on her left and the Beatles just to her right, Elizabeth quickly developed a sound all her own. Her “Baroque” pop songs have frequently been compared to those of Rufus Wainright, Fiona Apple and Laura Nyro. Elizabeth received the ASCAP Leiber and Stoller award in 2001 for her song “Like Water is to Sand”. From two years, she toured across the U.S. with soul queen Patti Austin, who kicked off her tour at Lincoln Center in 2003. This past year, Elizabeth also performed with Enya, singing with her on Regis and Kelly as well as the CBS Morning Show. Comprised of Elizabeth Ziman (vocals, keys), Danny Molad (drums), and Peter Lalish (guitar), Elizabeth and the Catapult came into existence in 2004. “Elizabeth has performed extensively with her and in New York City and Boston.

Unsigned Bands at Leeds Music Festival

So Leeds Music Festival is going on as we speak in the UK. I am so jealous. White Lies, a UK band I saw at Lollapalooza who rocked it, along with a bunch of other well known and unsigned bands are going to be playing there this weekend. I haven’t gotten to listen too much to the bands playing at Leeds since I just found out about this maybe an hour ago, but what I’ve heard so far I like. Take a listen!
