Marillion was ab initio formed as an instrumental band in 1979 by guitarist Steve Rothery (b. November 25, 1959; Brampton, England), drummer Mick Pointer, bassist Doug Irvine, and keyboard participant Brian Jelliman. Irvine began vocalizing in 1980 on the group's low demos, but a year by and by Marillion invited Fish to unite as vocaliser, and he sham the frontman military position beginning with their 1983 debut album, Script for a Jester's Tear. His inviolable Peter Gabriel-inspired vocals enforced critics' accusations that Marillion owed more than just a heavy debt to Genesis, only six-spot more albums followed. Musical difficulties between Fish and the stripe caused him to leave behind subsequently 1988's Larceny Magpie (La Gazza Ladra). He was replaced by Steve Hogarth (b. May 14, 1956; Kendal, England), a singer quite similar in sound and style to Fish himself.


In 1989, Fish worked with Peter Hammill on Hammill's Fall of the House of Usher externalise, simply was and so replaced by Andy Bell. His debut solo album, Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors, appeared one class subsequently and continued the theatrical elan of Marillion's quasi-concept albums. After 1991's Internal Exile and the 1993 covers album Songs from the Mirror, he moved from EMI to Dick Bros. The Acoustic Session CD appeared in 1994, and one class subsequently Fish released a bivalent album (released individually), Yin and Yang. Sunsets on Empire was issued in 1997, followed by the well-received Raingods With Zippos on Chocolate Frog Records in 1999. During the new millennium Fish has continued cathartic CDs on the Chocolate Frog mark, including 2002's Fellini Days, 2003's Sashimi double-CD plant recorded live in Poland, and 2004's Theater of Crows.

Move Over, Clay: Ruben's Got a New Tag-Team Partner

John Waters swears off the word 'hon' and Honfest

BALTIMORE —

John Waters is done with "Hon."

Honfest, an annual celebration of beehive hairdos, cat's-eye glasses and other kitschy fashions, is getting bigger and bigger. Participants are known as "Hons" in honor of the ubiquitous Baltimore term of endearment.

But Waters and some residents of the city's quirky Hampden neighborhood, where the festival takes place, say Hon has lost its charm.

"To me, it's used up," Waters said of Hon style. "It's condescending now. The people that celebrate it are not from it. I feel that in some weird way they're looking slightly down on it. I only celebrate something I can look up to."

The filmmaker known for raunchy odes to his hometown says he won't use the word or the image in any of his scripts, and he doesn't think the city should promote it, either.

Waters has used the image of the Hon in the past - perhaps most memorably in 1988's "Hairspray," which was adapted into a Broadway musical and then back into a film starring John Travolta. He thinks "Hairspray" is one reason why Hons became a Baltimore icon.

"I used to say, 'Come to Baltimore and you would see people with those hairdos,'" Waters told The (Baltimore) Sun. "You no longer see that. They're dead or in nursing homes."

The two-day festival, expected to draw 50,000 people, begins Saturday. It began in 1994 in front of Cafe Hon on The Avenue, Hampden's main drag.

Denise Whiting, the owner of Cafe Hon and the festival's founder, said she was surprised to hear that Waters had turned against Honfest. But she said anything so big is bound to upset someone.

"Not everybody likes Oprah Winfrey," she said. "Not everybody's going to like you, and I accept that."

The Libertines linked the down chafe of 2002, competing with the likes of the Strokes, Hives, Vines, and Doves with their debut single, "What a Waster." The Bernard Butler-produced trail entered the U.K.'s Top 40 in June, going away NME to crown the Libertines as the charles Herbert Best new band in Britain. The double-A-side song "I Get Along" earned Single of the Week on BBC Radio 1. The London-based band, wHO inked a consider with Rough Trade in December 2001, features Carl Barat (guitar/vocals), Pete Doherty (guitar/vocals), John Hassall (sea bass), and Gary Powell (drums). Up the Bracket was released stateside in March 2003 spell the single Fourth dimension for Heroes gained momentum on the U.K. charts.


The group's Coachella Festival appearance later that spring, meanwhile, introduced their energising live playact to the States. In June 2003, the band's playfully volatile chemistry began to go skew-whiff when Doherty didn't show up for a spell of Europe. The catch one's breath of the Libertines went beforehand with the dates piece Doherty formed some other radical that he ab initio as well called the Libertines before ever-changing the name to Babyshambles.


The following month, while the unexpended Libertines were on term of enlistment in Japan, Doherty was arrested for breaking into Barat's apartment and stealing items including a harmonica, laptop computer computing machine, and passee guitar. In August -- about the same fourth dimension that the band's single Don't Look Back Into the Sun became one of their biggest hits -- Doherty pled shamefaced, and besides confessed to addictions to heroin and crack cocain; in September he was sentenced to six-spot months in jail. However, his time was rock-bottom to deuce months on appeal, and with clip sour for ripe behavior, he was released from poky in early October and the complete Libertines lineup performed at the Rough Trade twenty-fifth day of remembrance show later that month. In November, Doherty played two shows in his have flat that featured a commix of Libertines and Babyshambles songs. The band closed out 2004 with a string of local dates, and began 2004 by writing and recording new songs in France.


Their low gear U.K. dates of that class, a three-night residency at London's Brixton Academy, unfolded in a typically disorderly fashion when Doherty pissed his guitar and left the stage in the midriff of the band's last performance. As the band continued to record, Doherty and Barat likewise appeared on "For Lovers," a unmarried by their admirer Wolfman; it became a surprise hit and the biggest Libertines-related release so far. Meanwhile, in April 2004, Babyshambles released their self-titled, limited edition debut individual. Later that month, the band were joined onstage by Peter Perrett of the fabled new waving striation the Only Ones, and performed "Don't Look Back Into the Sun" and the Only Ones' graeco-Roman "Some other Girl, Another Planet" with them.


Only by May the Libertines' future looked gruesome again: Doherty was in and out of rehab clinics, such as London's Priory, in rapid ecological succession. His ongoing troubles lED the Libertines to cancel their performance at the Love Music Hate Racism concert that June; the effect was afterward canceled all told. The band's appearances that month at Glastonbury, the Isle of Wight, and Morrissey's Meltdown festivals were likewise canceled and Doherty went to the rehab political program at the Thamkrabok Monastery in Thailand; after a few days thither, he left for Bangkok. Just after reversive to London in mid-June, Doherty was arrested by London law, wHO detained him for a traffic offence and establish a switchblade knife in his possession. The rest of the dance orchestra carried on with their obligations for July and forth, locution that Doherty was welcome to rejoin the dance orchestra formerly he had his addictions under control.


The Libertines recruited guitarist/vocalist Anthony Rossomando for their upcoming gigs, which included a execution at the T in the Park Festival. Doherty, meanwhile, go under up a cosmic string of solo shows and dates with Wolfman, just failed to appear at several of the performances in former August. "Can't Stand Me Now," the debut single from the Libertines' self-titled second album, entered the U.K. charts at figure two; in mid-August, Doherty appeared in court and pleaded shamed to the charge of possession of an offensive artillery. The Libertines arrived late that month, and the dance orchestra -- minus Doherty -- toured the U.K. and the U.S. that fall in support of it. Doherty, meanwhile, order his efforts into Babyshambles, touring the U.K. with the band throughout September and October.

In his native Dominican Republic, merengue wiz Juan Luis Guerra is considered a poet and musician of the hoi polloi. He and his band 440 ar much loved passim the Latino world and he has become one of the new wave of artists responsible for for revitalizing the tropical music that had been languishing during the tardy '80s from ham and lack of invention.


Guerra is the logos of a professional baseball player and grew up side by side to the National Music Gallery. As a teenager, he was influenced by the Beatles and by the music of the U.S. hipsters. Initially, he taught himself the basics of guitar playacting, just after taking a contest, accompanied the National Conservatory on a scholarship. One of his instructors then helped Guerra catch into the esteemed Berklee College of Music in Massachusetts and the many genres of jazz. In time, he constitute he lost his native Dominican Republic and so returned to experiment with blend local African-influenced music, folks songs and jazz with his group 440. The ring takes its list from the universal joint tuning traffic pattern of the A note, 440 Hertz. The name was chosen by Guerra's comrade José Gilberto wHO victimized to sit and catch them rehearse. One day he commented that they seemed so haunted with staying in perfect melody that they should call themselves that.


Their debut album, Soplando, made little shock. For their future efforts, Mudanza y Acarreo and Mientras Más Lo Pienso Tu, Guerra and 440 began adding merengue and lightning-quick riffs of "perico ripiao," and suddenly constitute success with a cy Young crowd tired from hearing the same quondam thing. The new music, called "bachata-merengue," presently north Korean won considerable acclaim in the Dominican Republic. The mathematical group was selected by their government to represent the nation in the International Music Festival of OTI, the Oraganization of Iberoamerican Television. In 1988, Guerra and 440 had one of their biggest hits, Ojalá Que Llueva Café, which became the third best-selling album in Latin America. That year he mixed-up his lead vocalizer, Maridalia Hernández, wHO left to act on her solo career in Europe, leaving Guerra to turn the new lead vocalizer. In 1991, he released Bachata Rose which became a smash hit passim the Americas and won Guerra his low Grammy in the U.S. The album was particularly popular in Los Angeles and before long Guerra and his ring were touring. His future album, Areito, caused argument in the Dominican Republic for oral presentation tabu against social injustice that the urgently pitiful felt Guerra had never personally experienced. Still, he mustiness be given credit for his serious-mindedness and interest in improving things in his oft-troubled homeland. Musically, Guerra changed directions again for his 1995 crusade Fogaraté. This album corporate more of the progressively democratic African soukous music. It became quite popular. His 1998 loss Ni Es Lo Mismo Ni Es Igual garnered Guerra three Grammys for Best Merengue Performance, Best Tropical Song for "El Niagara en Bicicleta," and for Best Engineered Album at the low annual Latin Grammy Awards in fall 2000.
