The Musician's Social Club's Blog Talk Radio Show Joe Gande Interview/Feature

I had a great time Sunday doing a phone in interview/feature on Leasa Rosolino's The Musicians Social Club Blogtalkradio Show...
Thanks to all that tuned in,joined us in the chat room there, called in or caught the show later...I really appreciate all the kind words, thoughts and messages about my music!:)
I think this is the first time I've done one of these phone in podcast interviews...and after this experience I think I will definitely be doing some more...
Leasa was an awesome host! We talked about some things...she played a few of my songs and people called in... So glad I got to chat with one of my longtime online friends...the talented Singer/Songwriter Tommie Brewster!
Thanks for calling in Tommie and for your awesome questions!
I Loved chatting with everyone in the chat room too..it was great!

Many of you that really know me may know that I'm not that fond of the phone in general and can be pretty phone shy:) Unless of course I happen to be rambling or ranting and raving about a subject that I am passionate about!:)LOL
 Except for when I am singing...I think I sound pretty goofy...you know..like when you're a kid and you hear yourself played back on a tape recorder for the first time and don't even recognize yourself and say "That's me?"!:)
But...Leasa asked...and she made me feel really comfortable about the whole idea...so I thought that I would give it a shot...Here is the result...

ArtSees Diner Welcomes Joe Gande!

I am delighted, ecstatic, overwhelmed with all that is going on at ArtSees Diner! The number of new musicians that I have met, and am now featuring really warms my heart! The Mission of Love, Musicians line-up and follow up performances will be posted tomorrow, but now, drum roll please...welcome Joe Gande to the Diner! ~Mary E. LaLuna~

 ArtSees Diner Welcomes Joe Gande!

Recently, I stumbled upon Joe Gande as many of us stumble upon each other...on FaceBook.

I reached out to Joe and offered the idea of him becoming one of our "Specials".  

You see, I only invite those musicians that strike a "chord" with ME.  I am very particular when it comes to my music. I have to have that certain flutter of the heart strings to come back to a musician over and over again. It all began when I was 10 years old and I received my first transistor radio for Christmas. It had, believe it or not an earphone! I would lay in my bed at night listening to WLS, and often would switch to WCFL, if LS, was losing me on some song that did not hit that "chord." I remember it all so well, the first time I heard "Hello It"s Me" Todd Rundgren. I was twitter-pated, long before Twittering was even a past time! I fell in love with the sound, the emotive reality that was music. (sorry I often digress!) 

Joe strikes that "chord" with me. As I listen to his music, I am brought back to the early presentation of that perfect blend as found in Loggins and Messina's Motherlode, with the smooth as silk passion and energy of Foreigner, and the flexibility of Todd Rundgren.  But, aside from comparison to some of the Greats, Joe Gande brings that sound into the modern age.

Dive into Joe's energy, and let him take you away "24 Hours"  a day!

Joe Gande - BUT FIRST....THIS SONG  (The Godsend Sessions)
Every once in  a while I run across a rocker that I just can't take my ears off of.
Joe's finely crafted high-energy CD tunes, vocal and guitar skills far exceed the "average band" these days... in fact, cuts like "Can't See My Life" take me back to my earliest experiences with bands that made the heart soar.
It's really nice to hear such strong talent in today's (often) diluted energy field... none of that on Gande's efforts, to be sure!
There is a superb taste of the unique on tunes like "Lost Her Head", though I would have preferred it be a bit longer than 3:44 (especially that funky/dow-un bass line that's drivin' it).
The tune that gets my vote as favorite on this set of songs, though, is the 6:08 "Godsend".
Artist names runnin' through my head like Joe Cocker (for the vocals) and Robin Trower...
as I listen to the swirlingly cosmic guitar lines at about 3:00; absolute KILLER rock with the kind of punch that will drive you straight into the edges of the oblivion you've been seeking all these many years! 
This is more than just being "impressed" - I'm inspired by Joe's excellent music, & give him my MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, especially for listeners whose roots reach out of the "normal jazz mode" into the kind of stellar energies that drive the universe.  He gets an "EQ" (energy quotient) rating of 4.98, too.

The Independent Music Scene: Joe Gande Review

New Review featured now...

Written by Paul Ruth of "The Independent Music Scene"...         

Joe Gande

Joe Gande is a rock, hard rock, blues artist and songwriter from New York, New York. His music holds the excitement that you would expect from the genre. Basically the sound is the full package. It is dynamic, soulful, smooth, but heavy. A great layer of sound the intensifies as the songs go on. Joe provides an experience for just about anyone who likes music. It is not common that I find a person of this kind of talent. Check out more info on his official page: http://www.joegande.com/

 Songs I like are "25 Hours", and "Brighter Day". they can be found at his Reverb page: http://www.reverbnation.com/joegande

Joe Gande Review by Peter Bright, systemculture.org/This Window

September 27, 2009

        Joe Gande - Review

            

You can't buy class you are born with it. 
Joe Gande has taken the 60's Joe Cocker(esque) style of vocal delivery, together with it's big orchestration, referenced it and made something new out of it. 

If I was pretentious I would be tempted to say that there is something almost Post Modernist about his songs - but that would be silly.

Read the review below by Jacky, it makes more sense…

Joe Gande: un músico apasionado

Alguien me dijo: escucha a Joe Gande y dime qué opinas. Si me pidiera mi opinión en una palabra, le diría sin duda alguna, PASIÓN. Este intenso músico y compositor neoyorquino, le da una nueva definición a la palabra pasión en cada una de sus canciones.

Con una voz potente que llama la atención por su intensidad y garra para arrancar las notas de sus cuerdas vocales, resulta angustiantemente indescriptible pero imprime en sus notas toneladas de sensaciones intensas que provocan dejar de lado lo que sea que se esté haciendo, para adentrarse en su mundo de sonidos y armonías.

Joe Gande funde en sus canciones el intenso sentimiento del blues con la pasión del rock, creando así un sonido único, electrizante, enajenante y perturbadoramente orgánico, fresco; desafiando todo modo de hacer música rock, a pesar de que tiene un aroma ligero a rock antiguo.

Muestra además, su sensibilidad, pues expresa con evidente honestidad, su amor por la vida. Escucharlo, te arrastra inevitablemente a sumergirte en un mundo místico de fuerza y pasión, a través del cuál puedes disfrutar de un caudal interminable de sensaciones intensas filtrándose a tus sentidos.

English Translation:

Someone told me: Listen to Joe Gande and tell me what you think. If I were asked my opinion in one word, I would say without a doubt, PASSION. This intense musician and composer from New York, gives new definition to the word passion in each of his songs.

The strong voice is striking in its intensity, it claws, plucking the notes of his vocal cords, but it is distressing beyond description, causing intense feelings inside, whatever you are doing, you enter into its world of sounds and harmonies.

Joe Gande melts in his songs the intense feeling of the blues with the passion of rock, creating a unique sound, electrifying, disturbingly alien and organic, fresh; challenging the way to make rock music, although it still has a light fragrance of old rock. Also showing sensitivity, expressed with apparent honesty, his love life; listen, immerse yourself in a mystical world of strength and passion, through which you can enjoy an endless flow of intense feelings percolating your senses.
