Adrienne Anemone Music

Origin: New York,United States

Decades: 1

Adrienne Anemone is the former ringleader of Mimicry Records' The TunaHelpers (http://thetunahelpers.org/) and currently the lullaby banshee that visits Brooklyn-based singer songwriter and guitarist, Adrienne Sneed, in her slumber. Her operatic vocals and gentle guitar pickings tug at the listener's heart through thoughtful ruminations on fear, Christianity, child abuse, eating disorders, witchery, bravery and utter despair, all the while still bringing them back to that warm bit of sunlit earth that feels both vulnerable and exciting, terrifying and magical. Adrienne Anemone often uses handmade props, prerecorded tracks, and costumes in her (more) theatrical performances. She will be headed out on an midwest east coast tour in late April/early May 2009. Here is what the press says: Bitch Magazine The Tuna Helpers I'll Have What She's Having (Web of Mimicry) "Though Adrienne may race around stage, kicking and screaming, her piercing eyes bulging out of her head as she releases a glorious yowl, you'd somehow feel at ease leaving her with your children." Venus Online, December 2005 "...Adrienne's quivering, soaring words melt against cascading guitar, cello, and Bethany's tinkling keyboards, creating a dramatically melodic mood." Splendid Magazine The TunaHelpers: "I'll Have What She's Having" "...the key element, however, is Adrienne's alluring voice. She's classically trained, and can carry a tune as easily as she can stalk your speakers with her siren-like performance. Weak-minded musical patrons beware: it only takes a few notes to fall under the Helpers' hex." KNOX NEWS (Knoxville, Tennessee) "...weaving gothic tales of toys gone wild and kittens and children in peril. And all the while, strings and various "instrumental affectations" escort Adrienne through mad-girl vocal flips and operatic swells." Nashville Scene: The TunaHelpers "...they recognize that storybooks hinge on nightmarish fears and human yearnings-something that comes through most keenly in the ache of Adrienne the Anemone's vocals."
