It started with her piano-teacher mum, but along the way Basia’s picked up guitar, autoharp, banjo, ukulele, sax and flute. In high-school her instrument was the upright bass – a lone girl among “eight-foot-tall guys, goofing off with the tubasâ€. There’s a sense of play that still suffuses her music, jostling under the songs of regret and love, want and joy. When her brother began in his teens to play drums with punk bands, Basia would be there with her Demerara voice, joining happily in the jam. When she left for university in London, Ontario, musicians began to drop by her downtown apartment. Many nights were spent with these classically-trained friends, laughing and singing, and together they made a glad, bright noise. Basia and her band have toured central Canada and Europe, sharing stages with the likes of the Great Lake Swimmers, Julie Doiron, Hayden, Sondre Lerche, and The Veils, leaving a trail of new fans and happy critics along the way. In mid-2007 a Canadian deal was inked with Hayden’s Hardwood Records, preceding a Western Canada tour with Final Fantasy this fall. Oh, My Darling is a pet project no longer, but Basia’s ambitions are unchanged from those early days of that tiny apartment: “I love songs that I can sing along to,†Basia says, and then she corrects herself, balling her hand into a fist. “No, songs that you want to sing along to.†=============================================== Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basia_Bulat Youtube: Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/basiamyspace CBC Radio3: http://radio3.cbc.ca/bands/Basia-Bulat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swan Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I saw her open for Hayden on the last tour. She was performing solo and I think she has an amazing voice. Can't wait to see her with her entire band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
