Friday Nite: Australian band Fruit to visit Greensburg

Fruit grows. For the Australian band of the same name appearing in Greensburg on Friday night, that's their approach to music and life in general. And for many music lovers in North America, Fruit is growing on them.

"We just liked the name," says Susie Keynes, vocalist, guitarist and one of three songwriters in the group. "But it's come to describe the music -- growing, fresh, vibrant." Plus, she jokes, "We get plenty of free publicity. Every time we pass a stand along the road, our name is out there."

To continue the metaphor, the band's sound is a fruit salad -- a colorful mix of pop, jazz, rock and folk -- that's been blending since the band formed in Adelaide, in south Australia, in 1995.

While some band members have changed over the years, the trio touring the U.S. and Canada this summer are founding members -- Mel Watson, Sam Lohs and Keynes. Keynes and Lohs play guitars and sing. Watson plays horns, both woodwind and brass.

They're touring to promote their latest CD release, "Burn," which will be released in August and, for the first time, will be available through major market retailers, such as Borders Books & Music and Barnes & Noble.

Speaking from California while on their way to the Vancouver Folk Festival in Canada, Keynes says their latest recording effort was an "intense and beautiful" experience.

"We spent four months in a rented farmhouse outside Philadelphia between February and May 2004," Keynes says. "We worked 14 (to) 15 hours a day with producer David Ivory, who'd seen us play the year before and invited us to record. It was in the thick of winter, which for us was amazing to see all that snow, and then the change of seasons. As we emerged from the studio, the leaves on the trees were emerging. It was beautiful."

Keynes thinks the band's sound on "Burn" is the most refined it's been.

"David really brought out our best. He was just like a mad professor, on the other side of the glass, flailing his arms and screaming, 'You've got to sing that note.'"

And that they do. All three band members share lead and harmony vocal duties, and all three write songs. Keynes explains the process:

"One of us writes a song, brings it to the band. It's an organic process. It sort of gets stuck in the soil, and it just sort of grows from there."

In addition to the four studio and three live Fruit recordings, each of the women has released solo records. Keynes says the solo efforts are just another creative outlet for the band members.

Besides the current touring trio of women, the band includes drummer Yanya Boston and bassist Brian Ruiz, a fact that upset some of Fruit's early fans. The band started out as a six-woman group with a huge lesbian fan base.

"I was incensed by some of the angry e-mails we received," Keynes says. "I said, 'You're way off the mark. Go have your own political party somewhere else. Just let us be who we are.' That's what we're about, being who we are and growing."

And that sentiment is captured in the title song from the new CD. In the chorus, band member Mel Watson wrote: "'Cos we can change the face of life / Just by looking at another point of view / 'Cos there's so much to know / And so little to fear in love."

"Mel has a real talent for writing anthems," Keynes says. "She really caught the sentiment that we believe, that this is an exciting time to be alive and that we can expand our thinking."

July 21: Hothouse Flowers at Club Cafe

Ireland's Hothouse Flowers made a name for itself during the late '80s and early '90s with a passionate, bombastic fusion of rock & roll with the rootsy sounds of Irish folk and American gospel. The group was founded as a Dublin street-performance act called the Incomparable Benzini Brothers by schoolmates Liam O'Maonlai (vocals, keyboards) and Fiachna O'Broainain (guitar), the former of whom had played in My Bloody Valentine forerunner Congress. After winning the Street Entertainers of the Year award in 1985, the Incomparable Benzini Brothers added bassist Peter O'Toole, saxophonist Leo Barnes, and drummer Jerry Fehily and changed their name to Hothouse Flowers. The group received a glowing write-up in Rolling Stone before even landing a record deal, but that drawback was rectified when U2's Bono saw them performing on a late-night television show. A single on U2's label Mother got Hothouse Flowers signed to PolyGram. Their 1988 debut, People, cruised to the top of the Irish charts and peaked at number two in Britain. Their follow-ups, Home and Songs From the Rain, continued their success, but the band has never been able to break through in America to anything beyond cult status. Hothouse Flowers has been quiet since 1993; several members have guested on other artists' albums.

July 22-24: Bruce Bruce at the Improv

Liz's Inside Scoop: If you're heading to the Improv, think about going for dinner. That way, you get the best seats in the house for the upcoming show! You have to buy a certain dollar amount worth of drinks..may as well make a night of it!

Bruce Bruce

Bruce Bruce is a name synonymous with keeping audiences rolling with laughter thanks to his captivating improv skills. Bruce's larger than life comedic style has been showcased across the country as well as on hit television programs, while his wit, spontaneity and dazzling personality sets him apart from other standup comedians. Although Bruce is known for his adult comedy, he prides himself on not using vulgarity to win a laugh. He also does comedy appropiate for his entire family and has earned his title as the Mayor of Comedy. After receiving the highest ratings ever as the host of BET's 10th Comic VIew for two seasons, Bruce returned to the BET family this past October as the new host of the highly rated "Coming to the Stage". Bruce starred in his own "Comedy Central Presents" special early last year and UrbanWorks Entertainment released a One hour comedy special DVD "Bruce Bruce Live" this past summer. Bruce will be seen in Ice Cube's XXX: State of the Union, and can be seen in a cameo role as Lime Pimp in Hair Show starring MoNique and Kellita Smith. He also recently shot a role in Cloud Nine starring D.L. Hughley. Bruce was also named the most recent host of Original Kings of Comedy promoter Walter Latham's last comedy tour, The Crown Royal Comedy Festival. Bruce's comedy can actually be traced back ti when he was working as a chef straight out of high school. He would entertain his customers with his humor while cooking up mean BBQ dishes. Bruce also worked as a Frito-Lays salesman and did everything from shelf placement to performing his comedy sets during their corporate meetings. Eventually, Bruce brought his comedic routine to the Comedy Act Theater in Atlanta where he performed on a regular basis. When the BET program Coast to Coast came to town searching for new and talented stand-up comedians, Bruce would pursue the opportunity to appear on the show and would incessantly audition at each club. Ultimately, he appeared on the show three times. In 1993, Bruce made his first appearance on HBO's "Def Comedy Jam" as he became a comedy club hopper, consequently receiving his big break from his 1994 appearance on "Showtime at the Apollo," hosted by Steve Harvey. His performance was so strong and impressive that the Apollo asked him back to perform two more times in 1995. After touring in multiple comedy clubs for numerous years, Bruce transcended his personality onto the music video scene. Most recently, he made guest appearances in videos with Ludacris and the Ying Yang Twins{after being named in their hit song "SaltShaker"}. He appeared in the monstrous 1996 summer hit "Come On Ride the Train{RideIt}" by Quad City DJs and can also be seen in Outkast's music video "So Fresh, So Clean". Bruce is also featured along side Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg as Dewayne, a good natured "rent-a-cop". in the Lions Gate Films feature, The Wash. In addition to his television career Bruce is known for his memorable appearances at the prestigious Black Film Festival in Acapulco(2001), the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal(2000 and 2003), Laffapalooza Festival in Atlanta,GA(1999-2002) and the US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen(2002). When not performing in comedy clubs across the country, Bruce divides his time between his homes in Atlanta and Los Angeles. He is also extremely dedicated to his incredible car collection, which includes two Harley Davidson trucks and four Buick muscle cars, among others.

Art Preview: Biennial Gleanings

Writer: GREGORY M. KNEPP - Pittsburgh City Paper

Work versus workouts, forbidding locales, pure chance and cyber art constitute the most notable offerings at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts Biennial.

PCA has hosted the Biennial since 1994; this year’s exhibit took place despite budgetary woes that briefly forced the center’s closure last year. The show, open to artists within a 150-mile radius of the city, was co-curated by PCA Exhibitions Coordinator Laura Domencic and Hilary Shames, adjunct professor at Carlow College and the University of Pittsburgh.

“Agronics!” (2005), by Wendy Osher, seeks to literally find a healthy medium between on-the-job physical labor and exercise. A ceiling-mounted video projects images of various people working out onto a pile of dirt below. While Osher’s artist statement/manifesto might be taken seriously, one can’t help chortling at the abandoned tools positioned in the soil, emblazoned with phrases such as “Feel the Burn,” “Show Me Whatcha Got!” and “Squeeze Those Buns!”

Subconsciously inspired, Jennifer Bechak’s installation “When You Smile” (2005) initially incorporates a detached, sterile environment. In a side room blanketed with Astroturf, two layers of ordinary window screens serve as a transparent barrier near its entry. On the floor within the black framework that supports the dual screens, banks of fluorescent lights beam upward. Inside the installation, at the far wall, there’s a sense of enclosure, imprisonment. Here is a black leather bench, too small to lie on and too uncomfortable to sit on for any duration. Opposite, upon the wall, several fabric pouches hang on pegs. In the corner, a black-framework “desk” holds useless screen “vases.” Yet it’s here -- behind transparent walls and topsy-turvy lighting -- that the “surreality” ends: Directly beneath a low-hanging light bulb rests a gift in blue paper, with a silver bow. Though its contents are unknown, one hopes it allays the harshness of the bizarro environment.

Inspired by “technological and cultural breakdowns that cause us to question the promise of our future,” Adam Davies’ oil paintings offer a sense of bleakness in their imagery. In “Shimmer” (2005) a gray mist hangs over a silent, mostly hidden purple-shadowed village. Beyond it, a mountain range and a butter-colored sky. Does daybreak explain the emptiness of the village? Or is the ashen miasma that hovers above the hamlet its own curse? “Pink Sky” (2005) portrays a great expanse of low-lying heavens, a gloomy, gray modern neighborhood devoid of citizens and a wide, pockmarked road with nary an automobile in sight. An ambiguous landscape, it offers few clues. Is it a desolate Baghdad lit up day and night during the throes of the U.S. invasion? A post-apocalyptic ghost town? Or merely a sleepy a.m. cityscape? (Pittsburgh?)

Chris Craychee’s “The Spins” (undated) is a three-way collaboration between artist, audience and Lady Luck. Using wheels of fortune, visitors place penny tokens on a counter to wager upon such matters as whether the wheel’s pointer will stop on red, blue or green. Craychee uses permanent markers upon sheets of white graph paper to produce the resulting offbeat illustrations. While some resemble business diagrams (visualize stock market crests and valleys) most of the 70-some designs have intricate, three-dimensional qualities that it’s hard to accept were literally derived from the luck of the draw.

Another collaboration, “Rondo”(2005), by Hilary Harp and Suzie Silver, is a bi-screen computer-generated endeavor. A mesmerizing, wall-projected video contains flashing lights, rotating flowers and gears. The second video features a man and woman who shuffle, prance and wear a smiley-face barrel against a kaleidoscopic background of spinning shapes. Dictionary-defined as “an instrumental composition,” “Rondo” is misnamed; more occurs visually than in its industrial soundtrack. Though visually entertaining, “Rondo” is ultimately laconic in its aesthetic intention.

The Biennial continues through August 21. Pittsburgh Center for the Arts, Fifth and Shady Avenues, Shadyside. 412-361-0873
