ART DIRECTOR Benitta

Message from the Editor Hey there, I’m Randy G, Marketing Guru & Owner of PowerMouth Entertainment and also the Chief Editor of MouthZoff Magazine. Prior to working in the managerial side of the Music Industry, I was a budding musician, lyricist, composer and songwriter.

I’ve sang and written songs both for and with some wonderful singers and musicians.

Recently basing myself in Queensland opened me up to a completely new music scene. I became increasingly aware of the positive contribution I could make to local artists and industry and alas PowerMouth Entertainment was born (www.powermouth.com.au).

In what seemed like an incredibly short period of time PowerMouth has become a recognizable, well respected name. My professional role is varied, from artist marketing, promotion and management, to booking agent, publicist, /-"+,-0*(-+"&+*-,1-,&,#+(+"2#0*3,-4'*&(5,&*(#6*32-,7*894'*%-&+*'(#6*,:1,-",#4,* has impressed upon me the hardships local artists face regularly in the music arena. This gave me an increased understanding of what is required to improve my services both to the industry and musicians.

It is at this point I wish to introduce you to MouthZoff Magazine. ;'"&*,<3($(="#,*"&*(*>-"55"(#+*"#"+"(+".,*(#6*+225*+2*&9112-+*(#6*,:1(#6* Queenslands Music Scene.

Out of the mouth.....

my guitars and then I produce them with the people that are around me at that time. Velvet eleven is always evolving, with its network of musicians and amazing souls that I have met on my travels.

Velvet eleven is a blend of Folk/Rock/Roots/ Electronica, the music that is written can be either a collaboration or my own personal works. I like to think that every Velvet 11 production is like a diary entry of what’s going on in my life at the time. Velvet 11 has the ability to be a full band or one man show just all depends what’s happening and where.

The core of the band is Kat Kellalea on vocals, Jake Bristow on keys, Andrew Fincher on guitar, James Visentin on bass and Michael Clarke on drums. I had caught them perform once before, and enjoyed their jazz stylings. Being a fan of funk, I was in raptures when they stretched their sound into that genre. Especially interesting was the apparent disharmony between trumpet and vocals.

Four By Five Quintet performs regularly in Brisbane.

More information about the band and upcoming gigs is available on Facebook - https://www.facebook. com/FourByFiveQuintet.

So you’ve got a gig, or you’ve been gigging for a while. You’re focused on getting the music right, playing tight and getting the punters interested, and maybe even dancing. There’s a few things that often get forgotten, but make a big difference to your fanbase and band income.

1 - Who are you?

I can’t recall the number of gigs that I’ve been at, /',-,*C).,*'(6*+2*522D*91*+',*,.,#+*+2*%#6*29+*+',* name of the musician / band. The average punter may not put in this effort, even if they like what they hear, so you’ve lost them the moment they leave the venue, or you leave the stage. And don’t forget people have short attention spans. I remember something like anything more than 20 minutes and the average person’s concentration has drifted (oh look, what a cute kitty …) This means you need to mention the name of your band *at least* every twenty minutes. Practice a number of ways to share this. At least one way is introducing members of your band. Another is to thank the other bands on the bill, then mention your own band name. Yes another way is to talk about your merch ...

I am delighted to do this and congratulate Randy G for her initiative, courage and passion for the music.

If you want to be successful in this business, bypass steps 1 through 5 and go straight to Step 6.

Now we’re talking! While you’re wrapping your head around that… I shall do as asked and answer the questions below: How do I get radio play?

How do I copyright my songs? Is it necessary?

There are two questions here however they go hand in hand. Fortunately, in Australia, copyright is assumed once a piece of work has been physically created. You cannot copyright a tune in your head; however, once that tune has been transferred to a recorded format, you can indeed copyright it.

You’re best off to keep the money and do it yourself, unless, as I mentioned, you’re looking for big dates.

What do I have to do to get signed to a label?

Labels come in all shapes and sizes. Ask yourself why you want to sign to a label? Is it for egotistical purposes (ouch!), or does the label have enough $$$$$ to promote and sell you to other outlets of +',*"#69&+-?l*I2,&*"+*'(.,*+',*1955*+2*524D*?29*"#+2* television performances?

Grinspoon achieved huge success by handling their career in the early days. Granted, winning JJJ’s ‘Unearthed’ in 1994 was the key, and after that, the industry were banging their door down, but they made the initial effort themselves. Better to be in the hot-seat and have a choice of who you want to sign with, than the other way around, on so many levels.

Where and how do I register songs etc?

A.P.R.A. Go to their site, sign up under “writers”, follow the breadcrumbs and register your songs! A.P.R.A. feeds Amcos, PPCA and other record holding outlets of your mechanical royalties.

Lauren Lucille’s Nina Simone Tribute Show! review by Di Clark photo by Steve Barrett thoroughly and The Nina Simone tribute show with Lauren Lucille and her quartet of accompanists, was a real treat for the ‘packed to the rafters’ audience at the Brisbane Jazz Club. Lauren not only looked the part but sang, pitch perfect, beautiful interpretations of Nina Simone songs.

interspersed between the delivery of 18 of Nina’s songs, gave the audience an interesting incite into the life of the troubled, ultra talented woman.

Lauren opened the evening with the fabulous gb,,5"#)*E226)0*(*3($#"%4,#+0*&295@95* arrangement (don’t even think about the Buble cover).

The audience had great fun participating in ‘See-Line Woman’ at the start of the second set which continued through ‘Here Comes The Sun’. The wonderful Gershwin ‘I Loves You Porgy’ was very moving and of course no Nina concert could end without ‘My Baby Just Cares For Me’ which ‘brought the house down’ to end the fabulous evening. The audience demand of an encore gave a repeat of See-Line Woman to send everyone home on a high.

The well thought out program of Nina Simone songs contained some familiar and not so familiar to deliver an interesting variety of music which complimented the story of Nina’s life. Lauren had researched Nina’s life

There were many ‘First Timers’ at the Jazz Club for the show and thanks to such a wonderful evening there’s a good chance that they will return and become regulars at the 17 MouthZoff Magazine March 2013

TJ admitted that he’d have a narrow range without it, even though he would prefer not to sing falsetto. TJ also shared that he’d prefer to play / record without technology, and described having an 8-piece band perform recently to cover all the sounds on the recent release.

The third song “The Hollow” had beautiful, lush vocals and the last song performed “Pick A Piece” had a “singing in the round” sound to the lyrics during the verse, which was amazing.

The “What Is Real” Tour kicks off Thursday 25 April at the Hideaway. More info on TJ Quinton online - www.facebook.com/T.J.QuintonMusic www.tjquinton.com.au

MouthZoff Talks to...... LAP

What sort of things do you like to write about in your songs?

Love lost and found, social commentary, being true to yourself, setting yourself free, spirituality Who writes the songs predominantly?

I do (Ladi Abundance) although the amazing band brings them to life

Who is LAP? Ladi Abundance Project How long have you been together?

An 8 piece band fusing soul/funk/hip-hop/jazz with three part vocals, horns and tight grooves How do you manage to fund an 8 piece band?

However, they have been somewhat absent since November last year, this made tonight even more special.

I took a few moments before the gig to speak with Claire. I was really glad to hear that as a group their time away wasn’t an indication of things ‘gone wrong!’ On the contrary, after the 20 MouthZoff Magazine March 2013

&944,&&*2@*+',"-*%-&+*%.,*+-(4D*,1*+"+5,6<`;',-,)&* mischief out tonight” the group have been busy writing new material for their 2nd EP and interstate tour to follow. Before we knew it, it was time to make our way back inside for the performance. \#*&+($,*F2&&*N(+&*42#%6,#4,*(#6*,#,-$,+"4* performance was most impressive, this band is tight!

The music itself is intriguing with a unique 3":*2@*"#&+-93,#+*(#6*+,4'#252$?7**b9#D?* riffs throughout the songs themselves were accompanied by artistically clever twists and time changes.

This might sound all too complicated, but believe me, with every song played the audience was dancing harder and harder, I +'29$'+*+',*9#,.,#*e22-*>2(-6&*3"$'+*$,+* straightened by the end of the night.

Both Brentos and Jack sang alongside Claire

Besides, what I felt when they played funk, needed noooo remedy!

I have to give a big shout out to Claire for her performance as she really knows how to engage her audience. She was constantly &"@+"#$*+'-29$'*+',*4-2/6*/"+'*@9#*%55,6*,?,&0* locating familiar faces and acknowledging

Bitter sweet is the fact that much loved band member, Jack Muzak has announced he will be leaving the band after tonight. Though his departure is amicable (he states plans to travel and personal goals as the reason) his will be a hard act to follow.

In conclusion, the band are straight to work with their new keys player and plenty of new things on the cards!

I know I for one will be looking out for future dates so I can see them again.

Ladi Abundance Project releases their EP “Slice You Up” at The Joynt review by Tina Walsh Ladi Abundance Project are a large band.

In addition to the usual drums, bass and guitar, Ladi Abundance is accompanied by (*1,-49&&"2#"&+0*D,?&*t*+,#2-*&(:*15(?,-0* trumpeter and two back-up singers and the sound they produce is full and funky.

They opened their set with the track “Crazy” off the EP. With good grooves, I got my dance on, as did the rest of the room. This led into a new song “Let Me Out” which had a reggae / island / samba vibe, complete with dance moves for the three vocalists and a wicked, albeit short, guitar solo. By the end of the second song, +',*6(#4,*e22-*/(&*+'-2>>"#$7*C#4596"#$*(* cover in their set, Jill Scott’s “One is the magic number” opened with a trumpet solo, and I was particularly impressed with the phrasing of the spoken vocals, as it seemed like it wouldn’t have been easy to lay those down.

Slowing things down, they performed another new track “Station”, which was a much more mellow sound. Following that with a track that showed Ladi’s warm, alto voice, featuring a keys solo, and ending with gorgeous a capella vocal harmonies. Samba’ing things up, the horns led the track “Sometimes Girl”. The lyrics in this one resonated with me, the story about a sometimes girl, a side of her who’s in touch with the inner being, rich in wisdom, but not around all the time, and wanting her to be the full-time girl: “I wish her passion, her wisdom, would 22 MouthZoff Magazine March 2013

shine down on me”. I guess we could all do with a little of that.

“Rhyme or Reason” was introduced as a celebratory track, and contained some hip-hop vocals, before they launched into another track deep with grooves, “Take Another Trip” from the EP. I noticed during this song I was smiling broadly, so quickly realised this must have been my favourite track so far on the night. The strong horn presence certainly didn’t hurt.

The crowd was blessed when Mad Betty joined the stage, with her beautiful full alto voice, to join Ladi on the track “Monster”. Another &(3>(<"#&1"-,6*+-(4D*GN2>/,>&`*4(3,*#,:+* before Ladi invited the chicks from Indigo Rising, and one of the guys from Kryptamistic, who each featured in their own rap solos. And they closed out the set with the title track from the EP “Slice You Up”, with the lyrics something like “Slice you up, throw away all the bad bits, +(D,*'23,*(55*+',*$226`7*M,3"#6&*3,*2@*,:)&0* and what I’d like to hang onto, and what I’d prefer to just get rid of.

Overall, an amazing night. I don’t think I stopped grooving throughout the entire set; it was just the intensity of the dancing that varied.
