places. You know, there’s a place
called Raji’s. it used to be an In-
dian restaurant or something |
think. The guy who runs it likes to
promote L.A, music, so he doesn’t
make you pay to play. He doesn’t
make you se!l tickets.

“A lot of times the places
Meredith was playing, where you
can get the guys to come out for
showcases and stuff, were the
more high-brow clubs. They say,
‘Well, you have to seil a certain
amount of tickets.’ So you have to
buy 100 tickets and you get to
play. It happens in L.A. because
you can get picked up by a major
record label.’

The Graces didn’t have to shop
for a deal so they focused on
shaping the product. They began
with the voices. And they were
deemed naturally complementary.
“We all sang and the blend was

” very good. {t’s very diverse styles

yet it really works well,”’ Ciambotti
stid. The debut also combines
vased production input from
jimmy lovine, Ellen Shipley and
Rick Noweis.

The original group vision was
“a sort of Crosby, Stills and Nash
with girls cancept.’’ The recorded
result is a bit more of a butt kicker.
Live, Ciambotti tells us to expect
something tougher yet. ‘‘ft’s raw,
the harmonies are still there, the
subtleties are still there — it just
rocks harder.”

Does the Go-Go’s pedigree-by
association vex Ciambotti? ‘1 lik-
ed the Go-Go's. They were girly
and fun and groovy. ! think that
they broke a lot of barriers down
and really showed people that,
hey, you know what? You don’t
have to be the greatest musician,
the greatest singer, the greatest...
Just have some good songs and
some fun. That’s what it’s all
about.”

The band’sin-

Western Dream, is an unexpected
find. The release offers several
perky covers of country classics,
including Hank Williams’ Why
Don't You Love Me (Like You Us-

some strong original tunes. Baby's
