Shelly Blake-Plock: General Info

Member Since	12/9/2005
Band Website	shellyblake.com
Band Members	Shelly Blake-Plock performs solo and with ad hoc ensembles. Forthcoming release on Fall Records / Umlaut Records: 'The Violencestring' is a great ensemble featuring: Joel Grip, Niklas Barno, Eve Risser, Matthew H. Welch, Carly Ptak, Twig Harper, Lawrence Lanahan, Ryan Dorsey, Jessica Riefler, Lyle Kissack, Jenny Graf Shepard, Aaron Henkin, Ben McConnell, and others.
Influences	Allen Ginsberg's 1958 letter to John Hollander...
Sounds Like	"This is an unusually cinematic album, that has a strong story behind it, but presents it in a way that is uniquely its own. The main creative force behind this undertaking is Shelly Blake-Plock, and his primary inspiration is an unusual and obscure Victorian short story which features a young boy living with an abusive father and step mother who longs to learn to play the violin. This tragic tale eventually ends in the boy's death in a surreal scene involving the ghost of his dead mother.... Shelly has assembled an immense cast of players and sound artists for 'The Violencestring'- an orchestra for him to conduct in reverse.... All together, it's an oddly entertaining story-album that's broken up into little chunks for easy digestion.... It's a totally unique experience." -- Foxy Digitalis review of 'The Violencestring'
Record Label	Fall Records / Umlaut Records
Type of Label	Indie

The Oafish But Lovable Jew and Friends	Jun 26 2008 11:06 PM you'll never know how right you are, well... until you're wrong, but even then you won't know. but i do expect to have some new music rolling out in the near future, and i will let you know as soon as it's hearable. listenable. rock-in-a-ball. maybe somehow you can be a part? let's discuss at some point in the coming weeks. no rush on the dinner music video, but how'd you like the pictures i sent of the kids? i thought they were great. wish the best, talk to you soon. dani
