ANNOUNCEMENT OF LA MUSIC CRITIC AWARD WINNERS FOR SECOND HALF OF 2016
2017.02.09.Thu.00:15
LAのインディーズが最近面白いらしいのですが、私には何がどうなのかはさっぱり分かりません・・・。 （かと言って、このブログを観て下さる方々の中に、LAのインディーズに興味のある方が居られるのかどうかも分かりませんが・・・）
2016年下半期のLA音楽評論家賞に、 War and Pierce の "On and On" が Best Video (lyric) に選ばれたとの事でござます。 一隠れファンとしましては、それがどのような事なのかさっぱり分からなくても、喜ばしい事なのだと思っております。 （困ったもんだ）
If we haven’t said this enough, 2016 was a banner year for indie music. Indie artists were recognized for Grammy nominations and wins, as well as crashing into the Billboard Top 40 charts. In addition, 2017 is looking like a continuation of this indie tide.
Save the date of June 21, 2017 for the first LIVE awards show celebrating the best of the LA Music Critic Awards, to be held in Los Angeles. We’ll have performances by some of your favorites as well as give out awards reflecting the best of the best. More details will be available as the event is finalized.
Back to the present, where we are so thrilled to finally be able to announce to you the winners of the second half of 2016 for the LA Music Critic Awards.

War & Pierce "On & On"
2016.11.19.Sat.00:18
ほんまにどないなって行くんやろう？ 「アメリカ」 ですな。
"War & Pierce" もボチボチと活動しているようでござまして、11月11日にニューシングル 「On & On」 をリリースいたしました。 前作の "I Lived To Tell About It" に続きまして、考えさせられる内容となっております・・。
Sunny War の認知度はまだまだと思いますが、静かに見守るのでございます。 (´Д｀)

War & Pierce - I Lived To Tell About It
2016.01.31.Sun.01:09
Chris Pierce とのコラボは良い感じで続いてますね。 一人で弾き語ってる Sunny War を始めて聴いた時は衝撃的でしたが、Chris Pierce と組んだ事で洗練されてきたかな？ 彼女がどのようになって行くのか今後が楽しみでもあります。
War & Pierce - EP
1、I Don’t Know Where I’m Going
2、Search and Destroy
3、I Lived to Tell About It (feat. It’S All Over Now)
4、It’s All Over Now
5、I'm Through With You
6、Any Day Now
Chris Pierce & Sunny War had a friend in common, musician and producer Jared Faber. Faber thought the two should meet and that they might hit it off….maybe there was some music to be made amongst them.
Pierce, War and Faber got together at Faber’s Silver Lake studio to meet and out of that initial meeting, the first song written and recorded by the three was born entitled “Any Day Now”. They all felt so inspired by the luck of their first encounter that they tried to repeat it…to see if lightning could indeed strike twice. Each time they got together they wrote and recorded what would ultimately become their debut album, the self titled “War & Pierce”.

Live at Lockett's - a Living Room Concert Series

Sunny War 最近の動画でございます。
「Lifetime」
「Tomorrow Someone New」
「Downtown」
Live at Lockett's - a Living Room Concert Series
Live at Lockett's is a series featuring music and poetry performances recorded in Christopher Lockett's living room in Los Angeles. One camera, one lens, no zooms, no cuts, one mic overhead out of frame - nothing between the performer and the audience.
The music and the poets come from a roots tradition, but are not necessarily bound by it.
I can't fit you all in my living room. So I'm bringing the living room to you...
カリフォルニア州ロサンゼルスにお住いのクリストファー・ロケットさん家の居間で、ロサンゼルスの音楽家や詩人がライブした模様を公開してるって事でしょうかねぇ。 アメリカらしくてエエですな。

遠い日本から彼女 （Sunny War） がどのようになって行くのか見守っている訳でありますが、最近組んだユニットは 「War & Pierce」 って事で、なかなか良いんじゃないかと思っております。
お相手は Chris Pierce （クリス・ピアス） 氏でありまして、カリフォルニア出身のシング・ソングライターであります。
クリス・ピアスが奏でるサウンド。 それは、カリフォルニアの海と太陽を感じさせる、ゆるいアコースティック・サーフ・ロック。ソウル、フォーク、ロック、レゲエ、ブルース等といった要素をなめらかに織り交ぜ、リスナーに癒しを与えてくれる。 アカデミー賞受賞作、映画 ｢クラッシュ｣ のサウンドトラックとなった "Are You Beautiful" は全米で大反響を呼ぶ！！ との事でございます。
彼女の癖のあるというか独特な声と、良い感じに絡めたクリス・ピアス氏の声が非常にバランスがとれておりまして、素晴らしいとしか言いようがありませんねぇ。 ここまで合わせれる相手が居たことにも驚きました。 今後の活躍が楽しみですわ。
