Sounds LikeInspired, compelling stories of love, loss and longing spill out and take you, shake you, and wake you-emotionally evocative, intelligent, vocal driven *pop rock*...

Pushes the envelope, pulls you in and pulls at your heart...

AOEDE'S STORY: ..

Aoede (A-E-D) in Greek mythology was the first "muse of song." And I, Lisa Sniderman, singer-songwriter for Aoede, chose this name both to inspire you and to remember to continually be inspired...I draw inspiration from my own life experiences and many muses and aspire to transfer this inspiration to you. When you listen to my songs, expect compelling stories of love, loss and longing spilling out through the mouthpiece to my muse-intended to take you, shake you and wake you.

I’m all about connecting with you in ways that make you feel and experience parts of yourself and hopefully resonate with you who has been there & can say, “yeah, I feel that too..." and maybe after listening, you experience some part of your own self that you forgot about. Maybe you are inspired to live life a little more fully or feel something. Because if I am doing what I Have to do, I don’t succeed unless I reach something inside of you. Plain and simple.

Propelled by our desire to connect with audiences, Aoede formed an indie *pop rock* band in 2005 comprised of San Francisco trio Lisa Sniderman, David Sands, and John Walden. For more information on Aoede, visit www.aoedemuse.com. Intensely personal, emotional, and mature songwriting is perfectly complemented by dark and moody grooves.

READ WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT PUSH AND PULL & AOEDE

".....as I find myself being whisked away by the sounds of Aoede I need a copy of Push and Pull in the house, in the vehicle, in the studio and in my head all the time. I've added this gem to my own personal favorite collection, but then you will too once you've treated your ears to this masterpiece! Just remember....A-E-D!" (KRIM Radio)

"Bringing pop worthy hooks together with alt rock instrumentation and smoky production, Push and Pull, Aoede’s new release (May 2008), stays with you long after the first listen...demanding more spins and closer attention...an unforgettable emotional listening experience..." (Massive Music)

"...a remarkable vulnerable-yet-tough album full of great songs that stand on their own integrity…just great songwriting, a unique and memorable voice, and tight musicianship. And what more, really, could you ask for?” (Wildy’s World)

"multi-faceted and intensely engaging...Sniderman's vocal is electrifying" (Luna Kafe record review)

"...Sniderman’s vocals are a standout, and are clearly the focus of the album. Her voice has power without being overpowering. She flows through melodic lines without distracting flips or ever having to shout at the audience" (Muzik Reviews)

"personal, sweet indie pop...the perfect soundtrack for an autumn road trip" (Justin Winokur, JWC Artist Group)

"a story-telling, magic-making kind of music..." (SF Voice)

"Singer/songwriter with a modern pop feel, sophisticated sound, and thoughtful songs!" (Indie-Music.com)

"Lisa writes metaphors that would make Bob Dylan proud!" (Goddess Magazine)

“emotive and emotionally intelligent.” (Corazine)

“the catchy lyrics coupled with strong vocals keep you coming back for more” (GoGirlsMusic.com)

"Aoede is the rare breed of artist who can shatter the pre-conceived notions and prejudices of the audience, enrapturing the crowd." (Massive Music) Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket

AOEDE'S NEW ALBUM-PUSH AND PULL-Available Now (FEB 2008)!!

Push and Pull

PUSH AND PULL- BUY IT NOW!!


On Bios, me and what I don’t want you to know:

Bios are kind of ridiculous. What do they really tell you except things someone wants you to know? Take mine, for example. On the advice of industry types, I paid someone to write one up for me. It invokes some beautiful metaphors for Aoede using a wall, ties my career together seamlessly, and makes me sound, well, more removed from my art and from you the reader than it does most anything else. Read it. You’ll agree. I was recently working with a guy from an Artist Management company on my own artist plan. He said after reading my bio, “I don’t know who you are and why I should care.” He challenged me to dig deeper. That really struck a chord with me because I’m all about connecting with you my reader and listener in ways that make you feel and experience parts of yourself and hopefully resonate with you who has been there & can say, “yeah, I feel that too...” Yet I’m not even letting you in on who I am and why I have no choice but to do what I do.

So I’ve decided to accept his challenge to dig and be bold and put myself out there. Tell you things I don’t want you to know. Not what I’ve done, Not why I think you should drop everything you are doing to come see me perform. Not even why you should listen to and buy my new album. That’s totally “me-centric.” But that’s not why I do what I do. Many have told me it’s my Voice, with a capital V, that’s unique. The guy who mastered our new album told me he was immediately struck by my Voice-that it has an authority & command to it compelling him to listen. Another told me he was hooked from the time I opened my mouth and just wanted to keep listening. I think it’s just the mouthpiece to my muse.

Here’s where the honesty comes in. It’s so much easier to put the pen to paper when it comes to writing what I have done or even reflecting on others… but it takes everything I’ve got to look inward and reflect on myself. It’s like that song on the new album, All I do is scratch the surface. Only recently did I discover that one of the main reasons I write is to get up close and personal with my own skeletons. The guy at the Artist Management company gave me an exercise that I immediately failed at the first time: writing down the 10 most traumatic things that had ever happened to me. “Dig a little deeper,” he said when I quickly assembled and emailed him a list of only 5 things that I wasn’t afraid to admit and wouldn’t be fired over or make headlines. He shared his 10 with me as an example. It was then that I “got it.” So I dug deep and couldn’t even type my 10 out and email them to him because I was so ashamed and scared to write them down…I handwrote my private skeletons, all the repressed, forgotten experiences that I considered somehow taboo, like how I early on stumbled into sex…I think it’s only fair to you that if I am billing Aoede as a “muse,” as an indie alt pop rock band with dark undertones, that I bring my own private darkness to the page and to the stage. It’s already started with a new song I’ve written entitled, “Skeletons.” It took me a lifetime of not dealing with these skeletons to realize that that song I wrote about you or some seemingly removed event is actually about me too. Lastly, maybe I have been put here for reasons I don’t understand to create-to give You something-maybe after reading or listening, you experience some part of your own self that you forgot about. Maybe you are inspired to live life a little more fully or feel Something. Because if I am doing what I Have to do, I don’t succeed unless I reach something inside of you. Plain and simple. Aoede

Hey guys,



I'm hitting the road in a couple of weeks to raise money for War Child,
Coast-to-coast – 50 cities – ALL PROCEEDS TO WARCHILD. Why? 66% of all
war victims are CHILDREN. Shocked like me? War Child helps these
children that have been affected by war. Check out the new blog – the
whole story is up there. Love to have you be a part of it.

You’ll find a Blog, Tour page and a Bio page. I’ll be blogging daily from the road.



http://www.liamtitcomb.com/warchild/



I've also got this “widget” for a FREE download of 5
songs. Please send it on to your peeps – to help raise awareness of War
Child and the tour.





You can also embed this widget in your facebook, myspace etc. I’d really appreciate that.

We have permission from Sony ATV publishing to give the songs away from now till the end of the tour... So let’s work it.

Thanks,



-Liam
