About Family Tree
The rock group Family Tree formed in 1968 in Canada. Members of the lineup included vocalist and guitarist Bob Segarini, vocalist and keyboardist Michel Dure, drummer Vann Scater, keyboardist and guitarist Jimmy de Cocq, and bassist Bill Trochim. The band had a short life and only released one album. The year it formed, Family Tree landed a deal with RCA Records and recorded a debut album, Miss Butters. It would be the group's first and last offering. Some of the tracks from this loner are "Any Other Baby," "Nine to Three," "Butters Lament," "Simple Life," and "Melancholy Vaudeville Man." Members from Family Tree moved on to other groups, like the Dudes, Roxy, and the Wackers. Bob Segarini also carried on a long solo career. ~ Charlotte Dillon, All Music Guide

Dear Science TV On The Radio |
| On the way to be established as the best American band of the decade, TV on the Radio's third album has arrived surrounded by five star reviews. Good news is the music totally justifies this level of hype. The Brooklyn-based combo has not abandoned their experimental nature; albeit "Dear Science" sounds deliberately shinier, funkier and more accessible than its, already polished, precursor "Return to Cookie Mountain." Lyrically, though, is quite a darker proposition. Many see on its tone a suitable metaphor to describe their country's collective mood, demoralized and confused, right at the end of Bush's presidency. The band's eclecticism is on full display: electro hooks next to D&B touches; shoegaze's atmospheric layers mixed with post-rock's bass lines via P-funk, often all in the same song. This sonic fusion can be as impressive as disorientating; rich and dense, but also the key that makes TV on the Radio's work improve with repeated listening. Main vocalist Tunde Adebimpe, often helped by guitar player Kyp Malone on second vocals, appears as a sort of missing link between Peter Gabriel and Prince; whereas David Sitek recently turned into producer du jour, applies his multi-instrument playing skills. Members of Antibalas guest on horns, highlighting the romance a new generation of US bands is having with African music. Celebration's Katrina Ford also helps in the mighty single "Golden Age" and the ballad "Family Tree", another of the album's many standout moments. . | |
