POP CULTURE, music:
the new album comes out next week from the band shivaree, singer is a reseda native, although there's no telling if the title of their '99 album refers to that. you can't get much hipper than kcrw live performances (3-23-00 --where the singer weaves tales about reseda expressly--, 12-5-99, 3-17-01, 11-4-00) and here you can listen and see other webcasts or see their video for ''goodnight moon''... a hit of sorts.
this story highlights their singer, ambrosia parsley, being a reseda native. maybe you had seen one of these folks in the grocery store, once one lived nearby. what about that name? in '64 it was also the name of a tv show with the late radio dj gene weed (l.a. radio trivia buffs know he signed off the music programming on now all-news KFWB in 1968. Pic there from the '90s, contrasts with this one which accompanies a unique anecdote of l.a. radio)
but reseda has an even wider pop music history, even more than tom petty (previously mentioned below) and his song "free fallin". there's still no freeway nearby.
the band soul coughing mentions reseda in song "screenwriter's blues" on "ruby vroom". band founder mike doughty plays the troubador june 17, but you'll all be at the reseda neighborhood council meeting,
instead. doughty used to work at the famous n.y. club the knitting factory, but he's not playing their l.a. venue.
frank zappa's singer in "dummy up" from the live album "roxy & elsewhere" asks a particularly unhip character ''where you been livin'? reseda?''
fans of captain beefheart (the one-time zappa sideman was born in glendale) have a dialogue on whether or not he refers to reseda in a song from the cult masterpiece "trout mask replica" from '69. the consensus there, is that he does.
this awesome fansite for the ventures, comes out of reseda and among other things has this tidbit: "During the 60's, the Ventures outsold the Beatles in Japan 2 to 1."
once a student at the cleveland high humanities magnet, eleni mandell, with 3 albums and backing vocal work with l.a.-club regular chuck e. weiss, talks about playing music in l.a.
not to mention the bands who've played at the now-defunct country club (host to U2's 1st l.a.-area show) and be bop records. more on that later.
