At the age of 12, I started working at a record store, and worked my way up to handling all their ordering and inventory. I have a background in student activities, and in that time period, I have dealt with a lot of agents and contracts. Yarwood and Winders have been bruised by the way the press has ignored what they've already booked for the fall, which they feel is a very respectable lineup, including New York's trendy Cibo Matto and Blues legend Buddy Miles. A big draw is that Sean Lennon is in the band. Their first album, 'Viva la Woman,' Spin named one of the top 90 albums of the '90s.
Winders is proud of the rest of the fall lineup as well.
Brenda Weiler, The Frogs, Pansy Division and Commander Cody are just a few of the artists already scheduled. The venue will also host Stuart Davis' CD release party. Winders says there may be some small changes in the music format at the M-Shop. Not to say that we're not having that as well, but maybe there will be a little more on the other side. Cibo Matto is more synth-pop.
