2008-05-19T18:08:00.000-07:00

I bought a copy of "Takes" double viny at Juno's website in the UK. I checked the site today, and they're out of stock! They were out a few months ago, so I can only assume they'll have them again.
I've also found them at Decks.com, for about $40 before shipping (from Europe). Cd&lp.com for $25, Nuloop.com & HHV.de for about $30 before shipping.

If you can find it anywhere else in the states, let me know!

2008-04-30T06:05:00.001-07:00

Summer = Live Shows! Brisa's got a ton of dates listed on her myspace page! Sorry, no US ones, yet.
Also, Dailymotion's collection of acoustic performances and other videos with is getting enourmous! Take a while and check them out!

Brisa wanted me to share a couple of things with all of you. One, an interview and some acoustic love with PureFM (click on "UBER") and then, some fine singing with ukélé accompaniment, on a tramway in Brussels....

What it "Takes"

Brisa let me know that she's done an English language version of the "Making of Takes" video..here it is!

Brisa Roche? Takes new album
Uploaded by cnalbout

2007-12-04T06:49:00.000-08:00

"Takes" available on import vinyl

Juno Records carries "Takes" on ~~cd,~~ vinyl, ~~Windows Media or mp3~~ and you can purchase it online! Today, the double-disc vinyl will cost someone in the U.S. around $32, which is pretty standard for an imported double-record. Now go & get it!

(Correction, Juno only carries the vinyl, which I believe is the best way to not only hear the album, but enjoy the artwork!)

2007-12-04T06:24:00.001-08:00

Acoustic Egyptian

Here's a cute, stripped-down instrumental rendition of "Egyptian" via L'Internaute. There's a companion interview, too!

2007-11-12T14:02:00.000-08:00

"Takes" is now available on iTunes France!

2007-11-10T14:44:00.000-08:00

Here's a cool vid for the making of "Takes"!

2007-11-05T16:35:00.000-08:00

Brisa's new album hits shelves tomorrow - no word yet on how to get a copy in the States, but Brisa working on getting me information as soon as possible! Unfortunately, at press time, Discograph has not returned any emails. Write to them through their myspace page here and tell them you want a copy! Good news: If you live in Europe you can order a copy through iTunes or Amazon!

2007-10-27T13:30:00.000-07:00

New interview about Takes, changing the line-up of the band and whistling.
Brisa spoke recently w/ Tant qu'il y aura du son (translated into English from French).
Thanks to Nathalie!

Here's an interesting look at who's been visiting brisaroche.com! Thanks to googleanalytics.com - Fans from France, US, UK and Brazil are the most frequent visitors...sounds like a contest, to me. Click on the map for greater detail.

2007-10-11T18:13:00.000-07:00

In case you haven't heard, Brisa's album is less than a month away (see the countdown clock in the upper-left-hand corner for the exact amount of time left). To satiate us, Brisa's put a new track on her myspace page that is slated to be tucked away in her album...her "secret track" called "Ali Baba"! Enjoy it while you can, because she's not going to leave it up for long! Have a listen (along with a couple more new tracks - it's the only place you'll find them, for now).

Also, information about what it takes to buy "Takes" will be made available, soon!

2007-09-01T07:49:00.000-07:00

Brisas myspace page previews 4 new songs from "Takes" as well as several of her self-portraits from her upcoming album!

2007-08-28T06:11:00.000-07:00

My favorite radio show "This American Life" used Brisas song "Now That It's Long Over" as an interlude between two of it's pieces on breaking up. A great show, "This American Life" has a theme each week and has several stories which touch on that subject. The choice of music used on the show is always spot-on. It was a great surprise to hear Brisa's break-up song among all the infamous songs throughout the episode. You can download last week's episode or subscribe to the podcast, free: here.

"Takes" will be hitting stores in October on the Discograph label! And if you're like me, you prefer to have your music come from the warm sweater-sounding vessel of vinyl - well, "Takes" will be the first Brisa Roche Album available on vinyl! You can now hear 2 new tracks from "Takes" in their entirety! "Breathe In, Speak Out" and the hidden bonus track "Ali Baba" are on her MySpace profile! And as always, they can be on yours, too - just click "add" next to the track of your choice.
Now that's a lot of good news!

Update: "Takes" will be released on November 5th! That's still good news!

2007-06-03T08:20:00.000-07:00

Here's a sneak peek at a new track "Breathe In, Speak Out" from the upcoming album "Takes", performed live....

An Interview with Rendez-Vous Magazine. In French.

2007-05-16T16:59:00.000-07:00

It "Takes" Time...
Pack up your sleeping bag and tent, get back in your car. Brisa's new album 'Takes' has been delayed, as she's decided to spend some more time with (and without) the work. Of course, it's possible that her label could release a single to tide us over...write to her label and ask them to! To read her explanation, see her myspace blog. My French is limited to a handful of words gleaned from Godard films and surrealist texts, so I'm not sure what it says other than something about a mountain, sausages and this collection of works by D.H. Lawrence" .. But, from speaking with her, she's very happy with the fact that she's stayed true to herself and how evident that is in 'Takes'.
.. In the meantime, listen to some of the samples at her myspace page and enjoy this lovely photo by Fortuna (warning: some of the photos in his portfolio contain nudity, but not Brisa's).

2007-04-26T09:36:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday, Brisa!

2007-04-09T17:35:00.000-07:00

Quite a bit has happened since the last post. Brisa's spent a lot of time and energy finishing her album, she's moved all her trinkets and instruments to another home and her record has been delayed by supernatural forces. In the interim, will she change, edit or re-record any of the tracks? Only Brisa knows. I've heard the album, I love it and can't wait to hear what all of you think, too. The lid on "Takes" is water-tight, so you have my sympathy. Thank you for all the offers of back rubs, candy and bugs in amber, but you're not going to get it until you pull it off the shelves. Keep checking back. I will let you know the new official release date as soon as it's decided upon. In the meantime, go look for her album "Soothe Me". Have any of you heard it? It's the precursor to "The Chase". It's an amazing mix of classic jazz covers and Brisa originals. Good luck finding a copy, though. Until I can find my copy, in the mess that's my cd collection, this image of the cover will have to do.

2007-02-28T21:50:00.000-08:00

I wrote a long, sappy review for "Takes", but have decided that I'd distill it, to save you all the purple prose (even though she'd wouldn't want me to, bless her). "Takes" sounds as if she's gathered little scraps of paper, covered with notes to herself - having them talk to each other - like two diaries, conversing. The band is amazing. I'm giddy. It's like hearing "Norwegian Wood" for the first time, over and over. Repeat. Repeat!

2007-02-18T15:37:00.000-08:00

Big Announcement

Brisa's new album "Takes" will be released on Capitol Records, May 21st! I haven't seen any pre-sale info or anything of the sort...but...finally, you can hear a couple of tracks on her myspace page!
In the meantime, here's a peek at the back cover with the tracklisting. (Photo obscured for suspense!) And rumor has it, there's a hidden track, too.

2006-12-31T08:50:00.000-08:00

Enjoy these great shots sent to us by photographer Franck Dewannieux from the Cafe de la Danse show, Dec. 6th 2006.

Brisa's New York Marathon

Brisa's in New York working very hard on putting the final touches on the next album. It's one she's producing on her own and she says it feels like it almost killed her, but she knows it's going to be worth it. She used words like "psychedelic" and "one of the best records in the whole world". She sounds deeply devoted to and worn out from making this album- but it's also obviously feeding her pride in it. I'm as curious as I'm sure you are to hear it. I asked her for a little snippet - but, we're going to have to wait just a bit longer.

Brisa Day Roché "Mystery man"

2006-12-06T16:23:00.000-08:00

It's been pretty quiet at brisaroche.com lately, as Brisa is holed up finishing her new album. Luckily, fan Pierre Vaillant has sent me some great pictures of his, from one of her recent live shows. They were shot on Halloween at the El Mediator in Perpignan, S. France. Let's all give him a big round of applause!

2006-11-14T07:04:00.000-08:00

Nice little interview w/ Brisa from Harp Magazine here.

2006-11-04T19:21:00.000-08:00

For those asking me to post a link to Brisa's new album... not going to happen. She's just now in the process of recording it. It'll be awhile until it's ready for release. But, be assured that I'll be the first to let you know when it is! - Mike

2006-10-08T15:11:00.000-07:00

Brisa's just told me she's in the S. French country side ("overgrown with grapes & trees") backed by her tour band recording the new album. It's being captured as a live in-studio set, which she recently wrote when she went home to Arcata Ca., USA. The album session at this point consists of 17 tracks and is "very 'back to my roots' and organic". Here's hoping we hear it, soon.

M.

2006-08-14T21:44:00.000-07:00

Brisa's album comes out in "The States" tommorow". Stop by your local independent record store and pick one up. You know you want to.

2006-08-10T06:01:00.000-07:00

With Brisa's album hitting our shores officially, on Tuesday - it's quite apropos that her hometown get the U.S. Media ball rolling. Click photo for the Arcata Times-Standard article.

2006-07-29T14:05:00.000-07:00

Have I fallen asleep at the wheel? Apparently. Turns out while I was sleeping, Brisa's 'Mystery Man' EP was released domestically. It's got 2 really nice non-album tracks; 'Du Bout Des Yeux' and 'Summer Surprise', the latter in English - it's officially the song of summer 2006. You can really hear her fine-tuned jazz chops on this track. (And it suddenly gave me a craving for some Peggy Lee for some strange reason). - Mike

2006-07-20T21:08:00.000-07:00

Brisa's album hits the states on August 15th. On Angel Records!

2006-06-08T19:34:00.000-07:00

Somebody stole Brisa's stuff. On tour in France, her bus was broken into and her precious things taken. She's not a rich girl, she's not swimming in luxury - she's a fucking musician. So, if you've heard anything about her stuff being peddled anywhere, please let us know. She'd just like to get her personal things back. She's in N.Y. to play several shows, it's not cheap there.
B doesn't need her material things to appreciate being there, though. She's excited about the shows, about the soundtrack she's working on and wearing hot pants for a photo shoot, recently.
Drop by her myspace profile and leave her a message of encouragement. She's ready to record a 2nd album. Let her know you're ready to hear it.

Happy Birthday, Brisa!
Today is her 32nd Birthday, go ahead and leave her a birthday wish in the comments!

2006-04-24T19:23:00.000-07:00

Bastien was kind enough to bring these photos to my attention (via the RTL2 pop-up-hell website) from the April 14th festival in Lille! This'll save you the time of having to navigate it to find them.
Bastien (one of the biggest fans I've heard from) said:

"I saw Brisa in a wonderful show in lille... It was very good because she is very natural on stage!!"

2006-04-17T17:51:00.000-07:00

Brisa's doing 4 New York shows!

May 15th, 16th & June 5th at The Living Room

and then on June 13th at Joe's Pub, opening for Susheela Raman!

2006-04-06T20:18:00.000-07:00

Got an email from B. the other day. As usual, it's cryptic & full of hidden information. Here's the distilled version:

- "The show Monday was fun, full up. I didn't talk much but danced in slo-mo like a space queen while Erik truffaz played reverby horn. Feel like it's the start of a real "band" first time in so so long."

- "Worried about leaving so soon to NYC, but at least we tour first together, birthday show in Italy!"
Who's birthday? Brisa's? New York? The new Franco-American Invasion begins. Sounds like she's gearing up for a worldwide tour to show off the re-tooled album for the States & some of Europe. If there's any more info, you know I'll have it.

2006-03-27T18:56:00.000-08:00

The Plot Against The Giant
written by Wallace Stevens

Courtesy D. Chamberlin

First Girl
When this yokel comes maundering,
Whetting his hacker,
I shall run before him,
Diffusing the civilest odors
Out of geraniums and unsmelled flowers.
It will check him.

Second Girl
I shall run before him,
Arching cloths besprinkled with colors
As small as fish-eggs.
The threads
Will abash him.

Third Girl
Oh, la...le pauvre!
I shall run before him,
With a curious puffing.
He will bend his ear then.
I shall whisper
Heavenly labials in a world of gutturals.
It will undo him.

2006-03-06T20:57:00.000-08:00

Brisa's official site is up and running again, quite an improvement on it's former self. It's got some of the best flash navigation I've seen in awhile. There are a lot of beautiful photos, including some great shots from the Mondino set.
(thanks Caetla!)

2006-03-03T20:20:00.000-08:00

Could Breese's official site be opening soon, after a long hiatus? There's been enough activity that it's been flagged in google & the site in inaccessible...

2006-02-27T06:34:00.000-08:00

I asked brisa about the show on the 20th at the café de la danse...

It was great! Except I went over time, and the sound laws are strict and so I got in big trouble and couldn't do the last song.  (I) was yanked off stage and wailed like a two year old but then went back on and did an acoustic song, all by myself, softly while still kind of crying - it was all pretty intense. 

Sorry i missed it!

2006-02-07T18:02:00.000-08:00

Well, it's been awhile since my last post, because there hasn't been much movement over here in the states. Brisa's pretty busy gearing up for her set of dates in France, so I haven't heard from her in a while. I did find this today - a UK release date for the cd - on a website for what looks to be a pretty cool magazine - "Wears The Trousers" - an extensive periodical/blog/site about women in music - and the latest issue features Rosie Thomas - (conicidentally, Rosie & I attended the same arts college, while Brisa & I played music, here in Seattle). Rosie's got an amazing ouvre and I suggest everyone check her out - she does an..unusual comic routine, which I've been dying to see since I'd read about it .

2006-01-28T15:59:00.000-08:00

Hope you caught Brisa on TVMonde5, last night! Brisa says she had a very good time - apparently it's a talk show shot in a bar. She was accompanied by writer Samuel Benchetrit, again, performed a new song called "Palace Eyes" & signed autographs for fans - a quick night's sleep, got on the plane in Toulouse and headed back to Paris. In case some of you didn't get the joke - she will not be playing at "Dan's Café" - it translates from the French to: "Café of the dance", which makes even less sense.
She's looking forward to the show on the 20th, as apparently some of you are, too. Send me a pic @ mattereaterlad@earthlink.net & I'll post the best ones. I won't be responding to anonymous comments, sorry.

2006-01-18T20:16:00.000-08:00

On Feb. 20th, Brisa will be doing a solo show in Paris at The cafe de la danse, which I believe means "Dan's Coffee". To reserve a spot and avoid a really obnoxious site with pop-ups and an out of date flash interface (not because it's in a foreign language, but because it's tedious, more style than substance & slow) go to: www.fnacspectacles.com.

2006-01-10T18:34:00.000-08:00

I asked Brisa about her FNAC appearance which another anonymous poster mentioned - having no idea what it was - "Yeah...I'm gonna do five or six shows at different FNAC stores in France, by myself, just me with my Destroyer, my amp and a mic on a little stage.. I guess they'll just last half an hour or so. The one in Paris is at the fancy FNAC. Then...Lyon and Toulouse...I'll have the schedule on Friday." I assume it'll be a signing, too. If you can attend, send us some pics to post & tell B you heard about it here.

Update: Brisa won't have a proper in-store performance schedule for a while. I will post it as soon as it's available to her. If you hear anything out there (as we've seen, sometime's you're always the last to know), drop us a line.

2006-01-05T12:41:00.000-08:00

An anonymous poster (thanks!)
put this link to B's InRocks video
interview in the last post comments,
I thought I'd highlight it
- it's in French, but
pretty fun for us yankees,
nonetheless.
It features some of
the recording sessions
for 'The Chase' and Brisa
jogging, for some reason.
Maybe she's practicing her
'Hard Days Night' escapes.

2005-12-27T20:17:00.000-08:00

I started this site on October 29th, for Brisa and her friends to keep track of all the interesting things that were going to happen with her career now that she's put out such a grandiose album, so far away overseas.

It's been a pleasure to do this for not only Brisa, but all of you who have visited and subsequently, corresponded. I hope the next year is as good as this last, for everyone.

I'd really appreciate if you'd leave a comment - let all of us know where you live & how you may have stumbled upon this blog; by accident, on purpose or on serious purpose. You can leave an anonymous message, by the by - Whether your name is Viel Glück or Scott, Uncle Steve or not. I'm definitelyy curious - I think Brisa is too.

Best wishes to you and yours,
Mike

2005-12-17T16:38:00.000-08:00

Here's the other thing she told me: Blue Note just finished a video for 'Mystery Man' which will include footage from the original recording sessions and I believe, the InRocks live show.

Also, she is REALLY nutty about that Bumcello 'Animal Sophistiqué' album. Seriously, she's obsessed. Good luck finding it in the states, though. I've looked. Thanks for the comments, it's good to see people are reading the blog - otherwise, why bother, right? Brisa is reading them. And who knows? She may answer some.

2005-12-14T20:28:00.000-08:00

*Phew* Brisa's just dumped a bunch of new info on me, so I'm going to sift through it as well as I can. So, eat this: she's just recorded "Dans le Vert de ses Yeux" with some hunky French guy named Benjamin Biolay. From what my non-French speaking ass can ascertain, that song's been her big single off the album (she may correct me, if I'm wrong). I don't know who this guy is - maybe they're doing a Serge Gainsbourg/Jane Birkin thing...

2005-12-09T19:10:00.000-08:00

update: The video stream has been pulled, so hopefully you've gotten a chance to see it. If anyone knows where to get a transcript, please let me know. Thanks!

An anonymous poster (thanks!) brought this to my attention. Brisa recently appeared on show which entails a round table discussion b/w different artists and writers. From my weak translating abilities the header reads: "Midnight Words: Philippe Lefait (host-pictured) receives guests to speak about culture, words which they have to say, to see, to hear.." It's about an hour and a half show which can be streamed via wmv. It has the worst intro and camera angle, ever & the editor needs to relax, as you will see - but it is quaint, artistic and it is French. The best parts are the few times she lets some giggles loose & how it'll snap it all back home, whether you're French or American or neither.

I've finally gotten my mitts on the cd (thanks B). It's killer. She says that there will be an American release with different tracks. So, try to get one as an import while you can. Can't get a copy domestically?
Find a copy of B's cd on eBay!

Brisa's dear friend Dameon, has a nice little rock outfit called "The Lowlights". You can check out thier music and such on myspace.com. She's even done some vocals for them. A little investigating and you can find it.

Brisa's hit (repeatedly) the iTunes French Jazz Top 10!

Or is that France's top 10 Jazz of the iTunes? Or the top 10 iTunes in French Jazz?

Doesn't matter. Fact is, she's tearing the arse out of the internet chart stuff, over there.

Don't believe me? Click on the Jazz option to the right of the "rock" chart which comes up.

Sadly, you can't get it if you have the American version of iTunes (like you had a choice?).

If you find her single on "American" iTunes, please let "us" know.

Nice goin' Breese.

Update: Her track "flying too high" is now #10!

Brisa's just told me that pics from her recent session with Jean-Baptiste Mondino will be on her official website when it's up and running.

Finally, a word on Brisa's American release!

Amazon.com can't get B's album to us in the states as of yet. I don't know of a domestic source that can. If you know, drop us an email! More as it develops.

Brisa will make a suprise appearance Monday night at the 'Festival Les InRocks' at the Olympia concert hall (the only venue the Beatles played in Paris), with the likes of Antony & the Johnsons, Devandra Banhart & Cat Power. (She says she's pretty nervous about it)

2005-11-04T06:35:00.000-08:00

Amazon.fr recently featured B. as a "star du jour", translation provided by google. Also, they've finally loaded samples of all the tracks from "The Chase".

On a related note: Louis Malle's film 'Elevator To The Gallows' (what I thought to be called: 'Lift to the Scaffold' - I was pretty close!) has been re-mastered and is thankfully, being re-released in select theaters. You may want to see it, if not for the single reason of hearing Miles Davis' unique score. I've never seen the film, but was lent the cd (and have never given it back - if you're reading this, Steve) by jazz afficionado, writer and former bassist for Amazing Dimestore, Steve Csutoras, some 10+ years ago. I'll give it back to you now, if you'll forgive me.

And it's Jeanne Moreau's first film appearance.
