...want to be an overnight sensation in classical music these days, you'd best look the part. You can be moodily romantic like long-haired Argentinian guitarist Dominic Miller (signed up by BBC Worldwide to launch their Inversion label), sulkily sexy like the all-girl string quartet Bond (2 million albums sold and counting). Skittishly sexy is also fine, a la Myleene Klass, the English Popstars siren turned classical pianist (also signed by Universal, reportedly for €1.4 million-plus). Smoldering sulkiness is equally bankable, as bad-boy Croatian pianist Maksim is finding out (EMI has signed him for five...
DEERHOOF. This R&B influenced garage rock group uses almost randomly placed, staggered guitar lines to create a sense of chaos that is brought back into order only by the smooth, Bjork-esque vocal stylings of Satomi Matsuzaki.

Wednesday, August 20, 9 p.m. $9. Upstairs at The Middle East, 472 Mass...

DG has already released, to critical and commercial success, the first collaboration of Argerich, Maisky...

The U.S. participated in the "quartet" discussions that initially shaped the plan, but Washington moved closer to Sharon's efforts to seek a military victory and endorsed his positions demanding the sidelining of PA president Yasser Arafat as one of a number of preconditions for renewed talks...
...less poppy but the gear is the same: requisite chain hanging from the wallet, roomy pants that occasionally slip down below the belt, and old-school Vans. Seringai has carved its own niche out of a sound pioneered by the Deftones and Queens of the Stone Age. The quartet has already generated significant buzz in the critical cities of Jakarta and Bandung before even releasing an album...
