Courtesy of Le Zets Courtesy of Le Zets Everything has been done before, and the trick is to craft the sound and present it in a new light. When scrolling through the world of music the genre "garage blues" popped up in association with the band Le Zets. My assumption led to a universal sound of covers and repetitive noises. Never assume. The first time I heard Le Zets, the only thing that came out of my mouth were the words, "holy shit." What started as a duo in Los Angeles, by founder Richard Romero (guitar, vocals), became a trio four years later, when Romero brought on Margo Swann from Phoenix, AZ, to take over lead vocals and keyboards, as producer Bob Hoag, also became the occasional drummer. The chemistry between the two shined on the debut album, Deadweight, released this past June, from Atomic A Go Go Records. From start to finish, there isn't one low point on the album; a consistency of high rollers, crunchy guitars, and catchy riffs that are bound to lift your spirits and lead to a explosive rock concert in your head. While "Favor for a Favor,"seems to be the only track that can truly be shoved into the garage blues genre, the album as a whole is a cross of 70s …show more content…
The hint of keys, breaks, and intense drumming, excels in it's craft, while packaging the heightened tempo all under two minutes. Despite the music being loud, and constantly on a high, all tracks contain the smallest of detail that represents the band's technique, such as "Lovely Eyes" - which provides a break of Swann speaking on how a girl will say she needs 10 mins to get ready, but it turns into 20.This comical break, that leads back to the driving drums, provides charm and personality. "Little Blue Dress," is a personal favorite that also displays these small details, heard in the drumming, groovy keys hidden in the intensity, and Swann's vocals that excel on every
Vanzetti was being tried under Massachusetts' felony-murder rule, but no direct evidence had been tied Vanzetti's .38 nickel-plated Harrington & Richardson five-shot revolver to the crime scene. The only question that arouse with it was that the slain guard apparently had one identical in type and appearance, but was missing from the crime scene. No witness testified to seeing anyone take the gun. Additionally, witnesses to the payroll shooting had described Berardelli as reaching for his gun on his hip when he was cut down by pistol fire from the robbers, but his holster was empty when the body was found. There were other attempts made at proving he had stolen the gun, but not proper evidence or complete advance was able to be shown.
During the 1900s, passion of composing music arose and encouraged many young teens to create garage bands and elder to perceive music as career. Famous musicians like Robert Johnson, Bill Monroe, and Elvis Presley were seeking the same. Although many were composing songs, most of them adapted their own versions from many which created a list of similarities and differences between them. Most commonly similar were themes or forms yet some differentiated in delivery style or instrumentation. Many artists got more creative and used similar instruments but give a twist into the sound play. This can be seen in the script or heard in the audio of the songs “Walkin’ Blues” and “Blue Moon of Kentucky” like many others.

Jean lafitte was a privateer turned soldier that fought for America after trading his abilities for a clean slate. Lafitte did everything from smuggling slaves to fighting in battle.
“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…” a cry to the world to send the people most in need of liberty, the wretched, and the homeless to America. This quote comes from the 1883 sonnet, New Colossus, by Emma Lazarus and is engraved on a plaque affixed to America’s most famous symbol and landmark, the Statue of Liberty. While American Literature predates Lazarus by a few centuries, her sonnet along with Thomas Jefferson’s contribution in 1776 in the Declaration of Independence help define what makes certain literature American. Clearly expressing the beliefs of the colonist, Thomas Jefferson, an immigrant, penned to the world the purpose of what America stood for, the preservation of individual God-given
As a hard-working, committed individual, I believe that being a member of National Honors Society will significantly benefit my personal character, academic achievements, and social life. After conducting some research on National Honors Society, I have come to learn that NHS needs students that exemplify the qualities of character, service, scholarship, and leadership to be qualified for membership. By being qualified for this outstanding opportunity, I believe that I can attain leadership skills, and confidence which can be beneficial in the years to come.
Many people have dreamed of climbing the tallest mountain on earth, Mount Everest. However one must possess certain physical and mental attributes to accomplish this giant feat. “Courage is not having the strength to go on: it's going on when you don't have the strength.” Ed Viesturs knows first-hand what having courage is all about although you’ve used all your strength. He kept going to reach his goal even after he faced life threatening obstacles.
Multiple essentials in rock and roll provide evidence of mutual blues qualities. Rock and roll was influenced by elements of blues instrumentation, rhythm, and purpose. Both rock and blues are composed of drums, guitars, and vocals. As blues was becoming increasingly popular throughout the 1950s, influence of notes and amplifying instruments occurred. Muddy Waters, for example, began experimenting with increasing the sounds of guitars and meandering the notes of the guitars to give it a “cry” sound. As blues music industrialized, it pushed the appearance of rock and roll much more. Early rock and roll followed a similar rhythm to blues music as well. As it developed, rock and roll would end up mixing more concentrated rhythmic elements with an emphasized backbeat, but the foundation was the same. The purpose behind the music, produced by blues and rock and roll, is calculated from the same perspective. The goal of both these genres
National Honors society would be an amazing opportunity for me. I believe I would be a perfect fit
On the other hand, Blues were basically from work songs of African Americans slaves at the time. “It is a native American music, the product of the black man in this country, or, to put it more exactly the way I have come to think about it, blues could not exist if the African captives had not become American captives”(pp.17), said Jones and Baraka. In Jazz – A History, Frank Tirro wisely analyzes and explains the relationship between the unique background and
It takes prior knowledge about migraine history, symptoms, triggers, pathophysiology, and diagnosis to understand how Zecuity works to cure a migraine. Many people believe that headaches did not even exist ages ago. In reality, early records of an aura exist dating back to 200 BCE and migraines back to 1500 BCE. Some people connected headaches to a supposed “evil spirit” invading one’s body; one of the treatments used was the drilling of holes into the skull, dating back to 7000 BCE. Granted, many people did not survive the procedure because of resulting infection, but this technique was conducted with the intention of letting out the evil spirit. In 1868, the use of ergot, a fungal disease that is found on rye, was found to be a treatment
This week we learned about many genres of music, some similar some different. The two genres I want to compare and contrast are Rock and Blues. When you hear rock music, you picture electric guitars, amplified sounds, and complex styles of play. But if you take a deeper look you would probably be surprised to learn that rock would not even have existed without simple 12-bar forms, antiphonal textures, or “walking bass lines” used in much blues music. Though Rock and Blues are distinctly different they have a lot of similarities that most likely go unnoticed. Rock and Blues were developed at almost the same exact time around the late 19th century. Blues originated from African American folk music and like Blues, rock music style can also be
There were three different types of musical styles that many successful bands used. Each style was different in its own way; there was the ”beat“ bands. Which were fundamentally the pop-rock bands; like The Beatles. Then there were the R&B bands, like The Rolling Stones. That used a guitar based different version of American blues. Which would soon became into “garage" and "frat" rock.
were made, but the idea of what a good sound is and how it should be achieved are radically different.
