lovedeathbeauty (2005)

Green Man (1998)




GREEN MAN'S 'lovedeathbeauty':

Building on traditional lyrics and melodies, Green Man's new compact disc 'lovedeathbeauty' (independently released on Bad Baby Records and a follow-up to the band's self-titled debut release 'GREEN MAN') delivers a cinematic soundscape ranging from Celtic to Appalachian to Arabic. Dark, beautiful, layered, hallucinogenic, and smart; think 1 Giant Leap, Portishead, and Massive Attack filtered through Middle Eastern and Celtic sensibilities. The result is unique, exciting and fresh.

The palette of sounds is large and varied, combining acoustic instruments (flutes, tin whistle, accordion, cittern, sitar) with contemporary (loops, techno beats, samples, sequencers, Eastern percussion/rhythms, thunderous drums, heavy rock guitars) -- all tied together with rich male/female lead vocals and lush three-part harmonies.

While remaining true to the timeless depth and beauty of traditional Celtic music, Green Man creates a sound and mood that is decidedly their own.

The group is again joined on this album by uilleann piper Eric Rigler (Bad Haggis, Troy, Master And Commander, Titanic, Braveheart, The Road To Perdition soundtracks) and world percussionist Austin Wrinkle (Hands On'Semble) as well as numerous other special guests.





LIVE PERFORMANCES:

Live shows incorporate any combination of fire/glowstick dancing, bellydance, hula-hoops and Irish step-dancing.

Green Man have shared the stage with Battlefield Band, Black 47, Cowboy Junkies, Gaelic Storm, Arlo Guthrie, Talitha MacKenzie, Todd Rundgren, Seven Nations, and The Young Dubliners, among many others.


Martin Morrisey's dancing feet have appeared with The Chieftains and on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.


PRESS:

"This CD is excellent from start to finish, fusing traditional instrumentation with the contemporary, and generating a sound and mood that should satisfy both the traditional and the progressive listener. It is, without any reservation, one of the best independent releases that we have received - the kind you hope for but rarely get."
- Scott Ericson, Music Sojourn

"I like (it) very much. It's a very interesting approach... much more authentic than Riverdance music, it (has) a much nicer edge to it."
- Joe Boyd, Producer (Pink Floyd, REM, 10,000 Maniacs)

"Too many Irish bands fit into one of two categories - Celtic rock a la drums, electric guitar and bass slaughtering 'Brown-Eyed Girl' or 'Fisherman's Blues' - or strictly traditional, overly polite bands. Green Man is a band of solid musicianship that electrifies...their willingness to experiment is refreshing."
- Dave Soyars, Irish Herald (San Francisco, CA)


"Green Man combines Celtic and Eastern music to sometimes startling effect. The music is all lush and lovely, like Enya touring with Lawrence of Arabia."
- Listen.com

"Green Man's music is rooted in Celtic - but the instrumentation takes them around the world, and even into space, while held together with incredible rhythm."
- John Wilmott, Celtic Ways


"Celtic music reinvents itself with every new age... this time around it's called Green Man."
- John Hannah, writer for People Magazine

Green Man receives ASCAPlus AWARD for 2007-2008


New York, NY, November 22, 2007: Approximately $2.68 million in cash awards for 2007 - 2008 has been made to writer members of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) by the Society's ASCAPlus Awards Panels, it was announced today by ASCAP President & Chairman Marilyn Bergman.

"Truth is a pathless land, you cant approach it by
any religion or sect. You are accustomed to being told how far you have advanced, what your spiritual state is
how childish. Who but yourself can tell whether you are beautiful or ugly within."
 
-- J. Krishnamurti



"Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany... but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

-- Hermann Wilhelm Göring,
Nazi Field Marshall and founder of the Gestapo, at the Nuremberg trials.




"These [terrorist] attacks are not inevitable. They are, however, possible, and this very fact underscores the reason we cannot live under the threat of blackmail
The terrorist threat to America and
the world will be diminished the moment that Saddam Hussein is disarmed...
I've said in the past that nations are either with us or against us in the war on terror...
Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

-- George W. Bush





"Lean to the left, slide to the right
Count the cost of freedom
in the childrens' eyes
Put your head to bed, your reason to rest

Let Bush have his bombs,
let the priest molest
Lean to the left, slide to the right

Believe what they say,
believe a reason to fight
Wave a weary flag and pump up your fear
'Cuz Bush and Bombs and Bin Laden been here
" *

-- April Theriault, Green Man

* Excerpt from 'Bush, Bombs and Bin Laden' (unreleased)
Complete lyrics are available here.

What hope do we offer the nuclear race?
And what do we do with the nuclear waste?
We can’t bury it down, it can’t swim in the sea,
So what do we do with this grim legacy?
Well I’ll tell you the truth, and I’ll make it quite plain,
We can’t shoot it in space, or let it wash down the drain.

So we leave it behind for the kids yet to come,
That bittersweet taste of the nuclear bomb.

Well the kids of tomorrow have no words to say
For the world we leave and the price they will pay.

Caretakers are we and for what do we stand?
For the love of the life on this sacred land.

What hope for the child in this world of ill care
Lies deep with the meek on a wing and a prayer,
That these Gods will see reason for the land, sea, and air,
And the hope in the future for the life that lives there.

Caretakers are we, and for what do we stand?
For the love of the life on this sacred land.

What reason for money when you can’t breathe the air?
And the oceans and lakes they lay barren and bare,
And the streams and the rivers run sewerage and poison
With no drink to spair,
Caretakers are we, and for what do we stand?
For the love of the life on this sacred land.


The ice caps are melting thers holes in the sky, we poison the earth for the sake of a lie, its time for the one and the all standing by to take hold of the reigns and put an end to this crime for we are the meek and now is our time,,,,caretakers are we and for what do we stand,, for the love of all life on this sacred land www. goodisplanetearth.
