NICKELBACK


Canada's Nickelback started life as a cover band in Hanna, 215 kilometers northeast of Calgary. Eventually, they tired of playing other people's songs, and singer/guitarist
Chad Kroeger put together a collection of original songs, borrowed money from his stepfather, and went to Vancouver to record the band in a friend's studio. Based on the results, Kroeger's guitarist brother, Mike, and pal bassist Ryan Vikedal all relocated to Vancouver in 1996; that same year, they recorded and released the EP Hesher and full-length Curb independently, then embarked on a series of cross-country tours.

In late 1998, the bandmembers started managing themselves, with Chad handling all the radio tracking, brother Mike Kroeger the distribution, and Ryan Vikedal all the bookings. A second LP, The State, was released independently in January 2000 during a period when Canadian content requirements were increased and local rock radio began desperately seeking out homegrown product. What they found was Nickelback's single "Leader of Men." The band toured ceaselessly for The State and 200 shows later, Nickelback had gone from virtual unknowns to playing in front of over a million people alongside the likes of Creed, 3 Doors Down, Fuel, and more. The band's post-grunge commercial appeal wasn't lost on the record industry, and The State was snapped up by Roadrunner in the U.S. and EMI in Canada.

Dixie Chicks

The Dixie Chicks completed a defiant comeback on Sunday night, capturing five Grammy awards after being shunned by the country music establishment over the group's anti-Bush comments leading up to the Iraq invasion. The Texas trio won all the biggest categories, including record and song of the year for the no-regrets anthem "Not Ready to be nice".
The Dixie Chicks is a female country music trio from the United States of America comprising Emily Robison, Martie Maguire and Natalie Maines. They are one of the highest-selling female groups in any musical genre, having sold 30 million albums as of June 2006.
The group formed in 1989 in Dallas, Texas. After years of struggle and personnel changes, the Dixie Chicks achieved massive country and pop success starting in the late 1990s with hit songs such as "Wide Open Spaces," "Cowboy Take Me Away," and "Long Time Gone." The group became well-known for their lively persona, instrumental virtuosity, fashion sense, and outspoken political comments. As of 2007, they had won 13 Grammy Awards, and are the first country-rooted act in Grammy history to receive three Album of the Year.

Dixie Chicks.. Taking the Long way

The Dixie Chicks' career started long before 2003, when lead singer Natalie Maines' onstage quip redefined the band. It started before 1998, when a song about personal independence called "Wide Open Spaces" redefined Country Music. Long before then, the Dixie Chicks were local favorites in their home base of Dallas, Texas, working the honky tonk and high school cafeteria circuit. This site is dedicated to that early phase of their career, when the Dixie Chicks were a band with a lot of promise... and a long road ahead.
2003 - present: "The Incident" takes the focus off the music entirely. The Dixie Chicks become a strawman in a fight over a nation's foreign policy. Not willing to capitulate to their opponents, the Chicks jump into the fray... with mixed results. After a successful tour and live album, the members turn inward, growing their families and writing songs about the experience. Three years later, they release an album whose lead single says "I'm not ready to make nice... I'm not ready to back down."

Avril Lavigne


A hard-edged Britney Spears for the skateboard set, Avril Lavigne was once described on her own website as "a skater-punk, a dynamic spirit, a true wild child." Lavigne was born in a small town in Ontario and grew up singing in church. At age 16 she caught the eye of record producers, who had plans to make her a pop star in the mold of fellow Canadian Shania Twain. Instead Lavigne teamed with songwriters and came up with hit tunes such as "Sk8er Boi" and "Complicated," the latter of which was featured on the show Dawson's Creek. Lavigne was only 17 when her debut album Let Go was released (2002); the album netted her five Grammy nominations. Her next album. Under My Skin, was released in 2004 and reached #1 on the Billboard album charts.

Legacy of Bob Marley


Bob Marley gave the world brilliant and evocative music; his work stretched across nearly two decades and yet still remains timeless and universal. Bob Marley & the Wailers worked their way into the very fabric of our lives.
"He's taken his place alongside James Brown and Sly Stone as a pervasive influence on r&b", says the American critic Timothy White, author of the acclaimed Bob Marley biography CATCH A FIRE: THE LIFE OF BOB MARLEY. "His music was pure rock, in the sense that it was a public expression of a private truth."
It is important to consider the roots of this legend: the first superstar from the Third World, Bob Marley was one of the most charismatic and challenging performers of our time and his music could have been created from only one source: the street culture of Jamaica.

Bob Marley's Birthday



February 6 is Marley's birthday. It may strike some as a bit strange to talk about the reggae star's final resting place around the same time that his many fans celebrate his birth. But many things about the way Marley was laid to rest illustrate the reasons why his music and his message are still very much a living presence in people's lives today.
The first annual "Marley Generation" event at The Melting Pot NYC celebrated Bob Marley's Feb. 6 birthday with a look back on his life and a look ahead to how his work is a continuing source of inspiration for contemporary artists.
When the 49th annual Grammy Awards ceremony is presented Sunday Feb. 11, Bob Marley's contributions to the reggae category will be undeniable. Without his work to globalize and popularize Jamaican music, reggae may never had found its way into the mainstream consciousness of the music industry.

Bob Marley


Bob Marley was a hero figure, in the classic mythological sense. His departure from this planet came at a point when his vision of One World, One Love -- inspired by his belief in Rastafari -- was beginning to be heard and felt. The last Bob Marley and the Wailers tour in 1980 attracted the largest audiences at that time for any musical act in Europe.
Bob's story is that of an archetype, which is why it continues to have such a powerful and ever-growing resonance: it embodies political repression, metaphysical and artistic insights, gangland warfare and various periods of mystical wilderness. And his audience continues to widen: to westerners Bob's apocalyptic truths prove inspirational and life-changing; in the Third World his impact goes much further. Not just among Jamaicans, but also the Hopi Indians of New Mexico and the Maoris of New Zealand, in Indonesia and India, and especially in those parts of West Africa from wihch slaves were plucked and taken to the New World, Bob is seen as a redeemer figure returning to lead this In the clear Jamaican sunlight you can pick out the component parts of which the myth of Bob Marley is comprised: the sadness, the love, the understanding, the Godgiven talent. Those are facts. And although it is sometimes said that there are no facts in Jamaica, there is one more thing of which we can be certain: Bob Marley never wrote a bad song. He left behind the most remarkable body of recorded work. "The reservoir of music he has left behind is like an encyclopedia," says Judy Mowatt of the I-Threes. "When you need to refer to a certain situation or crisis, there will always be a Bob Marley song that will relate to it. Bob was a musical prophet."

One LOVE.. Bob Marley



BobMarley.com tracks down different definitions of 'One Love'

Love has always been central to Bob Marley's outlook on life, making Valentine's Day an ideal time to consider the meaning of his 'One Love' philosophy.
Another Marley celebrant explained his notion that 'One Love' is bound by family ties. "When you talk about love, you talk about it in a world sense," he said. "And when you say 'One Love,' basically it's all of your family together. We all share the same pie, and it kind of tastes the same to everybody because Mom made it or Dad made it, and you feel that love coming through that."
Considering that the world continues to be torn by war, strife, racism and intolerance, another man interpreted the lyrics and sentiment behind Marley's famous song more broadly. "We have much more in common than we pretend to have in difference," he said. "So when we talk about 'One Love,' or at least when I think about it, I'm thinking about seeing all of the same struggles that we go through, whether they be of an economic nature or of a spiritual nature or dealing with identity. All of that relates to how we come back to 'One,' and when you're one with yourself, then you can be one with everybody else that's around as well."
