Abbot Kinney Festival w/ WAZ, Buddy, Laura Jansen, Holly Conlan, Steve Reynolds, Brian Wright, Jesca Hoop, Greg Laswell & Chris Pierce @ Brooks Stage, 9/28/08

Source: laist.com --- 7 days ago

Last weekend, the 24th Annual Abbot Kinney Festival took place in Venice. One longtime attendee noted that in past years, the quality of musical entertainment wasn't particularly memorable, so she was pleasantly surprised at the lineup this year, which included locals WAZ ( MySpace ), Buddy ( MySpace ), Laura Jansen ( MySpace ), Holly Conlan ( MySpace ) with Pedestrian ( MySpace ), Steve Reynolds ( MySpace ) with Cary Brothers ( MySpace ), Brian Wright ( MySpace ) with Sally Jaye ( MySpace ), Jesca Hoop ( MySpace ), Greg Laswell ( MySpace ), and Chris Pierce ( MySpace ) on the Brooks Stage ( booked by the Hotel Cafe ), Paul Chesne ( MySpace ) and Matt Ellis ( MySpace ) on the Andaluisa Stage , and War Tapes ( MySpace ) and HoneyHoney ( MySpace ) at the Palms Stage (although it should be noted that the set times listed on the website for this stage were woefully incorrect). As for upcoming local shows, the Hotel Cafe Tour stops this Friday at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood for a sold-out performance featuring Jansen and Conlan as well as Jaymay ( MySpace ), Erin McCarley ( MySpace ), Meiko ( MySpace ), and Rachael Yamagata ( MySpace ). Meanwhile, two Barack Obama Presidential Campaign fundraisers, featuring an all-star cast of regulars, will take place this Sunday and Monday at the Hotel Cafe. Sunday's roster includes Jansen, Laswell, and Brothers, as well as Butch Walker ( MySpace ), Priscilla Ahn ( MySpace ), Jim Bianco ( MySpace ) ...

LAist Interview: Jesca Hoop

Source: laist.com --- 32 days ago

It’s fitting that singer-songwriter Jesca Hoop got her big break via KCRW's morning show , because there’s no more fitting way to describe her music and her life than the word “eclectic.” From her early years performing in her family’s “station wagon choir,” to becoming a homesteader in Northern California and Wyoming, to working as a nanny for the children of Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan, Hoop has used this diverse background to craft Kismet , her fresh debut album. Hoop deftly navigates genres throughout the 11 tracks of Kismet , and the result is a cohesive sonic collection sprinkled with influences that run the gamut—Celtic, rock, jazz, pop, hip-hop, cabaret and more. LAist caught up with Hoop just prior to her recent Hotel Cafe gig to learn more about the album, touring and the best advice Tom Waits ever gave her. In your lyrics you display a pretty broad vocabulary—some of which is kind of a throwback to an earlier age. What do you attribute that to? Some of that probably comes from theater—reading spoken word in old English. And I also like to approach writing the lyric as though I don’t speak English, so it’s based more on the sound of the word and joining words together that are phonetically pleasing. Your demos were a big hit prior to the release of the full album, and some of those reappeared on Kismet . Do you have any plans to re-record any of the songs that were on Silver Screen Demos but not on Kismet —such as “B ...

Last Monday, Swedish singer Lykke Li ( MySpace ) headlined an estrogen-filled night at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood, that included local singer-songwriters Emily Wells ( MySpace ) and Jesca Hoop ( MySpace ) as well as New York-based Ida ( MySpace ).

West Beach Festival Begins Tomorrow

Source: laist.com --- 34 days ago

Part of the festival map Despite the criticism thrown towards Glow in Santa Monica earlier this summer, it did prove one thing: concerts and festivals on the beach, especially at night are something people enjoy. Santa Barbara's West Beach is not the most popular in terms of swimming, but the location is used for events like 4th of July and will host space for this weekend's second annual 3-day West Beach Festival that begins tomorrow. The lineup includes Ziggy Marley, George Clinton, Jesca Hoop, Jason Mraz, Natasha Beddingfield and many others (tickets range from $35-55 depending on day). One of the more popular aspects of traveling to Santa Barbara from Los Angeles in our opinion is their car free program . Amtrak and hotel discounts? We can't argue withthat. ...

Jesca Hoop - Summertime

Source: pop-over-town.blogspot.com --- 74 days ago
Jesca Hoop counts early early folk songs, pop radio, chamber music, gospel music, 20’s to 40’s jazz, ol’ country, ol’ blues, slave songs, dance hall, murder ballads, rock and roll, blue grass and my backyard among her numerous musical influences to her debut album Kismet. Hoop is a striking, dark haired songwriter from Northern California who writes and sings twisty, sprawling, lyrically abstract songs featuring strange sonorities and offbeat rhythms. Jesca Hoop’s music is like a four sided coin. She is an old soul, like a black pearl, a good witch or red moon. Her music is like going swimming in a lake at night.

Jesca Hoop : Kismet

Source: ctn-music.com --- 48 days ago
The title of Jesca Hoop’s debut album, Kismet, could easily refer to the twists of fate that led to its existence. Certainly it seems like destiny that Hoop would land a five-year tenure as nanny to the children of Tom Waits, whose influence is spattered generously across Kismet. Another bit of good fortune came in [...] ...

Song of the day: Jesca Hoop, Intelligentactile 101

Source: hiddenbonustrack.blogspot.com --- 77 days ago
It's been well over a year since I first discovered Jesca Hoop and I have to say, this song just never gets old. It's like three different equally awesome songs all rolled into one. If you're not familiar with Jesca...her story usually begins with the anecdote that she was Tom Waits' nanny, but there's not much musical resemblance there. Think more Devendra Banhart meets St. Vincent, with a dash of Ditty Bops. Or something. She's just an original. ...
