Женщины в роке

Arch Enemy



Tristania

[Signum]

Взглянув на название топика, почему-то подумал именно об Arch Enemy. Все-таки нечасто встретишь женщин, поющих гроулом=)) Хотя та же Tristania мне нравится больше)
А еще есть группа Opera IX, там девушка поет как скримингом, так и чистым вокалом. Довольно любопытная вещь)

Heart (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.




Heart is one of the most successful female-fronted hard rock bands. The band, whose sound fused elements of folk-rock and power ballads, was heavily influenced by Led Zeppelin — Heart drummer Denny Carmassi later played with Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page in Coverdale Page.

The band was founded in Seattle in 1974 by sisters Ann Wilson and Nancy Wilson as The Army. The Wilson sisters moved to Vancouver, British Columbia the following year, after their manager was drafted into the United States Army, launching their career in Vancouver and working with supporting musicians from Canada. As a result, Heart is considered an important band in both Canadian and American music history.

The band has achieved numerous multi-platinum albums, nine US top ten singles, and worldwide career sales of more than 20 million records.

Ann Wilson guested on the Alice in Chains songs "Brother" and "Am I Inside", and Layne Staley from Alice in Chains guested with Heart on a cover of Bob Dylan's "Ring Them Bells".

Also in 1992, the Wilson sisters formed an acoustic side project called The Lovemongers with keyboardist Sue Ennis, guitarist Frank Cox and drummer Ben Smith. As the Lovemongers, they contributed a cover of Led Zeppelin's "The Battle of Evermore" to the soundtrack for the film Singles (directed by Nancy Wilson's husband Cameron Crowe.) They subsequently released an EP and two albums as The Lovemongers...

Janice Joplin
(1943 – 1970)

You are the greatest ever born!



Growing up In Port Arthur, Texas, Janis Joplin was the proverbial square peg in a universe of round holes. Not especially good-looking and somewhat overweight, she fell well short of the image that might have won her a place among the cheerleading set, and her interests in reading, painting, and folk music made yet more remote any chance of popular acceptance by her peers. As she summed it up years later, she was ”just ‘silly crazy Janis,’” the resident beatnik. In the years after high school, Joplin’s odd-man-out syndrome continued as she dropped in and out of college and moved back and forth between the West Coast and Texas. In the midst of that drift, however, she began singing in coffeehouses and clubs. Increasingly, Joplin regarded singing as her career of choice, and in mid-1966, she accepted an invitation to be the lead vocalist for Big Brother and the Holding Company, a San Francisco rock band that had been organized by a Texas friend.

Joplin reveled in San Francisco’s vibrant hippie pop culture, and in the process her singing took on a new and uninhibited exuberance, characterized by a sound that was shrill, rasping, and, above all, aggressive. San Francisco, in turn, readily appreciated that aggressiveness, and it was not long before Big Brother’s new female vocalist had become one of the city’s hottest rock music attractions. Joplin ceased to be a mostly local phenomenon, however, in June 1967, when she appeared with Big Brother at the Monterey International Pop Festival. Describing her rendition on that occasion of ”Love Is Like a Ball and Chain,” Newsweek reported that she ”sang like a demonic angel.” Yet another observer said that the song had been ”wrenched out of some-deep dark nether region of her Texas soul.” Whatever its origin, ”Ball and Chain” had clearly connected with the audience and gained a nationwide attention that signaled Joplin’s emergence as one of pop music’s major stars. When it became known not long afterward that Joplin and her group were coming out with their first album, Cheap Thrills, the album climbed to the coveted one million mark in sales even before it actually went on the market.

The feverish energy that Joplin put into her singing was physically taxing in the extreme. She also routinely consumed large quantities of whiskey during performances. So it was not surprising when pop music observers began to think that she would soon burn herself out. When asked about this, she once said, ”I don’t want to do anything half-assed…. When I can’t sing, I’ll worry about it then.” That was an eventuality, however, that she never had to confront. In October of 1970, Joplin was found dead at the age of twenty-seven from an overdose of heroin.

Linda McCartney, who made a specialty of photographing pop musicians and singers in the 1960s, took this photograph several months after Joplin and her group had given their momentous performance in Monterey. Shot at New York City’s Fillmore East, the picture depicts Joplin singing ”Ball and Chain,” the song that had propelled her to stardom.
