   About Julie Vik
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 "the wetness, the dryness...beautiful." Jane Siberry--1999 "The music world is chock full o' bands who "defy classification," "span genres;" there are even those who "push recognized boundaries," and, God help us, "serve up a musical gumbo."...The point is, for every band that dares to choose the road less traveled, there's a pack of music critics following close behind, each trying to outdo the other with breathless hyperbole. The problem is that, more often than not, a band is just a band. Then there's Resin, a group for whom the praise might actually be deserved. ...Imagine Grace Slick at her psychedelic peak, fronting Sly and the Family Stone, only everbody in the band is wearing Birkenstocks and you're on 'ludes. That's Resin...Resin is good, and refreshingly so - in the sense that good musicians sometimes do end up in good bands making good music, despite trends to the contrary. That - not veiled allusions to evolving musical styles - makes them worth seeing." Aaron Bragg The Local Planet Weekly, Spokane, WA April/02

Julie,
I've been listening to the songs on you website and damn, that's some pretty great sounding music. It has elements of everything I like in music and drumming. The actual aural characterics are great too. Variety with identity.

Best,
Chris

No need to even introduce myself to you Julie. The Blue Magus has been spilling his guts to me in late nighters for the past decade and the Great Julie Vic has been one of Late Night's Leading Ladies. Maybe we will meet someday...onstage!

Harvest





May 15 2007 2:50 AM

HeyJulie Vik,

I just wanted to tell all of my dear myspace friends
that the Psycho Key movie
"Harvest" is now available online.



ORDER
DVD

Shot in India, Europe and the Caribbean, Psycho Key tells us
this fascinating tale of adventures that take place between the hills of St.
Lucia, the stages of European festivals and the wide open sea. The whole soundtrack
is recorded and filmed live onstage and is mixed in with the original dialogues
of the movie.</span>


So, what is it about ?

Jahweve has spent his entire life on the island. He has seen
the big world on tv. He wants to travel...he wants to become a musician On
his small Carribean island there is no work, fishing doesn't make any money,
farming even less. Visas are impossible to obtain and flights cost a fortune.
As a Rasta, the only solution is to grow weed in the mountains, this way he
can hope to buy a chance to achieve his dreams. But the army helicopters are
coming to the hills more and more frequently to burn the plantations, and it
is becoming very dangerous for him.

One morning, as he still sleeps, he has a
vision, he sees faraway lands, hears strange music and meets people he never
knew even existed. This is a sign for him. He decides to harvest his plants
as soon as possible and leave for Martinique on a small boat. Of course nothing
comes that easy..
