...second upcoming release involving Hatfield, Total System Failure, teams her up with Weezer bassist Mikey Welsh and Milligram drummer Zephan Courtney, and is much harder than the light acoustics of Beautiful Creature. The album displays her versatility, moving away from vulnerability, enchantment and curiosity towards strength, assertion and occasional anger. Her lyrics are not wondering, but answering, with little sign of backing down from her claims. On "Road Wrath," Hatfield orders "Give me a reason to gun it." Apparently Juliana's Pony is reason enough, as she slows down just long enough to tear ahead again. Although Beautiful Creature...
...main stage. Maddeningly, the footage was purposefully grainy black and white, no doubt because it's artsier that way. From what I could make out, Lunar Plexus didn't seem very electronic at all; for some of their songs they used a typical rock setup of drummer, guitarist, bassist and singer. On the others the guitar player switched to keyboard. Though front woman Karen Ellis was charming enough, the overall effect of the band's sound was one of indecision - not enough melody to qualify as popsters, not enough beat to make any audience get down, let alone a middle...

Among the notable past members of the group are John Medeski, a keyboard player, now front man of jam-crowd favorites Medeski Martin & Wood; Josh Roseman, a trombonist who has recorded with The Roots and Groove Collective; Mike Rivard, a bassist, now leader of Club D'Elf; Curtis Hasselbring, Matt Wilson and Andrew D'Angelo, who are all staples of New York jazz...

When the crowd did start jumping for "Excuse Me Mister", the bouncers helped numerous smaller girls exit the sweaty madness, a series of altruistic actions that were first in my concert history. In a similar...
Stefani's resentment could be perceived as impudent--she is, after all, a deluxe pop tart herself. But on this album, she seems to come by the attitude honestly. After 2 1/2 years on the road supporting Tragic Kingdom, Stefani, bassist Tony Kanal, guitarist Tom Dumont and drummer Adrian Young returned to their Southern California homes in 1997 badly frayed. While the guys recuperated, Stefani checked into her parents' house and went through "a weird kind of depression. Maybe not a depression so much as just a cloudy, confusing state for a couple of years...
