Live Shows / 4/18/2005: Skybar - West Hollywood, CA (review)

Apparently Vanessa played a private show with Ryan Cabrera for the winners of the Sweeten Your Tone contest.

I don't know how this slipped by all of us (8O), but it did.

I was poking around the Ryan Cabrera board and someone said Vanessa played for about 30 minutes, so I'm assuming it was probably the core set of songs she usually does when she is doing a short show.  :?

Carlton provides relaxing concert for students

By Khristopher J. Brooks
Central Michigan Life



April 01, 2005

The lights went out and all that could be seen was a slim silhouette walking toward the middle of the stage.

Singer and songwriter Vanessa Carlton began her first song surrounded by pastel purple stagelights and white satin curtains. This set a mellow atmosphere for Thursday’s concert in Warriner Hall’s Plachta Auditorium.

Among the 720 people in attendance were Marine City sophomore Noah Hauke and Michigan State University sophomore Chelsea Hannert.

“I’ve never seen her live, but I’m (hoping) for a good performance,” Hannert said. “I know she’s awesome on the piano.”

Hauke and Hannert listened to Carlton play some of her hit songs including “Ordinary Day”.

“This is one of the first songs I ever finished in one sitting,” Carlton said while on stage in her black dress in brown trim.

There were two pianos on stage for Carlton and her opening singing captivated the audience. Carlton played music from her latest album, “Harmonium,” and her previous one, “Be Not Nobody.”

“Her music is soothing and very peaceful,” Bad Axe freshman Natalie Benda said.

Benda said she wanted to relax during Carlton’s concert.

“This is definitely a girls’ night out because none of our guy friends would come with us,” she said.

Before Carlton’s performance, California-based band Raining Jane entertained the audience for 45 minutes.

“So we recently quit our day jobs, so that’s exciting and now we’re totally broke,” said Chaska Potter, Raining Jane guitarist.

The group played songs from their new album, “Diamond Lane.” Some of the songs played included “Fashionable” and “Wyoming Sky.” They also played covers from Bob Marley and Aaliyah.

One of their songs was a tribute to 9/11 survivors.

“We wrote it as a response to the things that were happening so this goes out to all the people who suffered in the tragedies,” said percussionist Mona Tavakoli.

Guess The Announcement Date of Vanessa Carlton's Next Single!

While we are all waiting anxiously to find out which song will be Vanessa's new single, we here at NESSAholics.com figured that it would be fun (and rewarding for you) to engage in a contest of guessing the announcement date of Vanessa Carlton's next single.

The Rules:

1. We are guessing the announcement date of the new single. This means that you are guessing the date we find out from either: A&M, a post by Vanessa, or an accredited web source [MTV.com, VH1.com, VC.com, radio station website, etc.], what the new single will be. It does not matter to this contest when the single is to be released, but when we are told what the single will be. There has to be visual proof of a date the information was posted, and the post must contain  information about what the single will be to win the contest.

2. Only one date submission per poster.

3. Dates are first come, first serve. This post will be edited with information about who has picked which date, so there is no confusion. You may reply in the thead below with your date guess.

4. Each date can only be guessed once. If you guess a date someone else has already selected, you may guess a different date.

What the winner gets:

The person who wins this contest by guessing the correct single announcement date will get an 11inx17in Harmonium poster signed by Vanessa Carlton!

The poster says: "for my nessaholic, peace Vanessa Carlton (in the trademark VC squiggle, of course)." A scan of the poster is coming soon.

...Ready, set, guess away! We could receive word about what the new single will be any day now, so make sure to get in your guess early ;).

You can refer any questions about this contest to Brian via PM, or ask your question in this thread.

Have fun, and good luck!

Singles and Friends

Basically it is a singles site. A friend of my friend runs it. It is up and coming, owned and operated from Wisconsin. I told my friend I would pimp it, so I'm keeping my word  :wink:. Check it out!  :)  

They are supposed to be adding some cool features soon. Eventually it will probably be like MySpace, Friendster, etc.

Carlton to perform 'V.I.P.' concert

Major label acts such as Incubus, Ludacris and Evanescence have all graced Halenbeck Hall in the past few years.

However, this spring, things will be a little different.

For the April 16 spring concert put on by the University Program Board (UPB) Concert Committee, Vanessa Carlton will join the list, but the venue will be moved to Ritsche Auditorium to give students a V.I.P. atmosphere.

"We decided to go for something a little bit smaller and aim it just towards our students," UPB Concert Committee coordinator Amanda Griffith said. "Hopefully this will be a students only show since it's paid for by student activity fees."

Tickets went on sale to SCSU students March 25, the day the concert was announced, and will not be opened to the public until April 8.

"If there are tickets available we'll open them," Program Advisor Angee Bombard said. "Assuming that there will be some, but hopefully not a lot. Hopefully students get the first dibs."

Tickets are general admission for the auditorium venue, which seats approximately 850. Students will get a discounted rate on tickets at $13 in the balcony or $15 on the lower level with their student IDs. The general public will shell out $18 or $23 respectively per ticket.

There is a limit of two tickets per student ID.

The choice of hosting the concert in Ritsche is not a new concept for the concert committee. Griffith and Bombard said that the idea of bringing in more intimate acts has been discussed before. This time, they decided to give it a shot.

"People thought it would be really cool for their experience to be in Ritsche and just something different," Bombard said. "It's a female, it's not a rock band or a rapper, it's just something different."

Carlton brings an intimate, storytelling performance to the stage, Bombard said. She is probably most well known for her number one single "A Thousand Miles" and top-10 single "Ordinary Day," from her 2002 release Be Not Nobody.

Her new CD Harmonium is currently on the shelves and was produced and co-written with boyfriend and Third Eye Blind frontman Stephan Jenkins.

Harmonium is Carlton's message on bringing difficult, chaotic things, things that have trouble fitting, together to achieve harmony. It has been described as musical landscapes climbing from intimate plains to moving mountains.

Bombard spoke from experience when she said Carlton puts on a worthy performance.

"We know it's quality because we got to see her," Bombard said about seeing Carlton perform for a programming showcase earlier this year. "The whole storytelling aspect of it is neat too."

According to Carlton's biography, she has also found inner release in reclaiming her lyrical dance style, which is featured in her video "White Houses."

Bringing her piano and vocal driven intimacy to SCSU, Carlton's performance is best suited for an acoustics-based performance that would not succeed in Halenbeck's echoing gymnasium.

"Ritsche is way more intimate," Griffith said. "She would just kind of drown in Halenbeck as far as sound goes."

The acoustics of Stewart Hall's auditorium lends itself for a good view whether on the lower or upper deck.

"There's no bad seat in Ritsche Auditorium," Griffith added.

Although there is some concern for selling tickets in three weeks, Griffith and Bombard do not foresee an issue.

"We're going to really push it on campus, but we are leaving the last week of sales open to the public," Bombard said. "We'll see how it goes, but we'll be ready to really push it towards the public."

The concert announcement also came the Friday before Easter, which may have dampered getting the word out to students.

Carlton's opening act has yet to be announced, but will likely be a local performer with a name for themselves. Local or national, the act still has to be approved. The announcement should come later this week.

Griffith said booking this show has been like none before for her at SCSU. The change is welcomed.

"It's a very positive change for the concert committee to go to something they have never tried, different venue, different style of artist, different everything," Griffith said. "It's a good experience to find out how well this is going to work."

Bombard recognized the change as a motion to expand the horizons for UPB.

"Sometimes you feel like you can only bring the big people and with this we're showing we can bring anyone," Bombard added. "Tell us who you guys want and we can see if we can bring them."

UPB has also announced their line-up for Mississippi Music Fest on May 1. This year's festival, which turns 20, includes headliner Josh Kelley.

Also on the bill is Kip Blackshire, Minnesota favorites Heiruspecs, all female rock/folk group Raining Jane, Diamondback, a cappella emcees Four Shadow and battle of the band winner Doorstep Paradise.

Mississippi Music Fest is free and open to the public.
