Artist: Oi Va Voi: mp3 download Genre(s): Rock: Folk-Rock Oi Va Voi's discography: Oi Va Voi Year: 2007 Tracks: 10 London-based collective Oi Va Voi makes it punishing to personal identification number them down -- spot their euphony easily allows for such various labels as "dance," "rock," "electronica," and "world music" to be applied to them, none of these labels describes the sound of the striation to the fullest. Oi Va Voi was able to reach this through a sooner unique combination of ethnic and cultural backgrounds of its bandmembers, with each of them delivery something original to the table. Rock & roll and Jewish music, dance beats and klezmer, Eastern European horns and trip-hop sensibilities -- all these elements coexist in the music of Oi Va Voi, creating a dense and exciting unanimous that sounds like small else out there. Oi Va Voi (which is Yiddish for "Oh, beloved God," though at certain occasions bandmembers hinted at the fact that real translation is a spot raunchier) came together in late '90s. Founding members Nik Ammar (guitars, vocals), Josh Breslaw (drums, percussion), Leo Bryant (bass), Steve Levi (clarinet, vocals), Lemez Lovas (trumpet, vocals), and Sophie Solomon (fiddle) had their backgrounds in truly divers music outfits, still this diversity didn't stop them from trying to create something of their own together. The title of their very first, self-released track record pretty lots gave forth what the dance orchestra was stressful to achieve -- it was called Digital Folklore (and had since become a valued collectors' token). Vibrant live shows played around England earned Oi Va Voi a very strong repute, and in 2002 they were nominative for BBC Radio 2 World Music Awards solely on the intensity on their performances. Soon afterward that, KT Tunstall united the band on vocals, and Oi Va Voi released their "proper" debut, Laugh Through Tears, in 2004 via Outcaste Records. The record album dexterously showcased their potentiality -- next to more than traditional, dancefloor-oriented songs like "Refugee" song by Tunstall were compositions divine by traditional music of Israel, the Balkans, and Yemen performed by a range of guest vocalists from all around the world, from Tunis to Uzbekistan. Reviews were radiance, but soon interior problems threatened to stop the stria dead in its tracks. First, Tunstall left hand to prosecute a solo life history; then founding member Sophie Solomon followed suit. Left without a voice, Oi Va Voi began auditioning vocalists -- the bandmembers claimed that at a sure point they felt like they had listened to "every vocalist in London," with frustratingly small results. Label executives weren't happy with album gross revenue and tried and true to agitate the band in a more commercial-grade direction, which did not agree with Oi Va Voi at all. Recording of a reexamination album was further complicated by a serious sickness inside the band. Without a contract, without a isaac Merrit Singer, and down to the magnetic core of only four members (Ammar, Breslaw, Levi, and Lavoc), Oi Va Voi was hazardously close to career it quits. In fact, they did stop all mathematical group activities for about a year, until things began to get substantially brighter in 2006. First, Oi Va Voi ground the proper singer, newcomer Alice MacLaughlin. Then they met producer Mike Spencer, c. H. Best known for his knead with such pop artists as Erasure, Kylie Minogue, and Jamiroquai nonetheless also enormously interested in traditional music. With a renewed band, rounded up by bassist Matt Jury, and a modern mark behind them, the re-energized Oi Va Voi departed to Tel Aviv to work on their side by side phonograph record. The album, recorded in both Israel and London, was issued by V2 Records in summer 2007. It was left eponymous, possibly to signal a new beginning of sorts for the banding, and power saw Oi Va Voi embracing their peculiarities and creating a swirling mix of rock music, soulful electronica, and world music influences. Upon culmination MacLaughlin chose to continue as a solo artist, so a new vocalist had to come into the fold. It was Bridgette Amofah, world Health Organization became a howling substitute for both Tunstall and MacLaughlin. Another phallus, virtuoso violinist Anna Phoebe, joined the live lineup. Now a seven-piece, Oi Va Voi went on to duty tour extensively in support of their secondment record. Their touring schedule included a number of European festivals as well as concerts in Israel, Turkey, and Russia. |

Mythic unveils 'Ironclad'
James Purefoy in negotiations to star
|
Based on a legendary story, "Ironclad" is set in 13th century England and tells the story of a formidable Knight Templar and his "Magnificent Seven" who defended historic Rochester Castle against the tyrant, King John, and his mercenary army. Purefoy would play the knight opposite Giamatti's King John.
Richard Attenborough, Pete Postlethwaite, Angus Macfadyen and Colm Meany have also joined the project, set to begin filming this fall in Europe.
Co-producing with Mythic are Zephyr Films and Picture Park. Sales veteran Glenn Kendrick Ackermann is selling the film in Cannes and has already closed multiple territories.
Mythic was launched earlier this year by U.S.-based producer Rick Benattar ("Shoot 'Em Up") and U.K. producer/attorney Andrew Curtis ("Lost in La Mancha"). Curtis, with a background in entertainment law, is doing double duty as partner and head of legal and business affairs. Ackermann is running the sales arm.
Mythic will act as a fully-fledged production company which develops and finances its projects. It also provides gap financing and is currently negotiating a substantial revolving facility with Adrian Ward of National Bank of California. Two private equity groups in London and New York provide financing for the company's slate.
Borys Kit reported from Los Angeles; Stuart Kemp reported from Cannes.

Fire Burning Near Mayer's House
John Mayer seems to ignite everyone and everything around him! After spending the night at girlfriend Jennifer Aniston's house last night, the singer drove the actress's Range Rover from Beverly Hills to his home in Pacific Palisades.
Just after 2 p.m. PT, with Jen's Range Rover parked outside for all the world to see, a fire broke out across the street from John's house.
OK! can confirm that Mayer was home at the time and we are awaiting comment from the Pacific Palisades Fire Dept.� No word on whether the fire is contained but fire officials are on sight helping to put it out.
[Ed. note: someone might want to tell John that his neighborhood is on fire! Just a thought.]
Stay tuned!
