Evidence Of Ecstasy: David Woodhead\u2019s Musical Journey In Photographs<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By David Woodhead<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cNot just the story of one person, David Woodhead<\/strong>\u2019s Evidence Of Ecstasy<\/em> is a photographic window into a generation of Canadian independent musicians. It traces his journey through a lifetime of images, inviting us behind the scenes at recording studios, folk festivals, and touring adventures while working with many original and influential musical artists. Through the lens of his camera, we catch glimpses of several different transitory communities of musicians, mostly through the 1970s and \u201980s, and mostly in black and white. There is a fierce sense of uncompromised creativity here, and each photograph is chosen to highlight that sense of being somewhat off the beaten track, and not part of the \u201cstar-maker machinery\u201d of commercial culture. From a Montreal family that valued music in everyday life, though teen-age influences from Brownie McGhee<\/strong> to The Fugs<\/strong> and Frank Zappa<\/strong>, we see David progress through his first band experiences to a breakout to Stratford, Ontario\u2019s Black Swan<\/strong> coffeehouse. The next chapters follow his adventures as bassist with Stan Rogers<\/strong>, with another breakaway to Canada\u2019s rustic West Coast and back east for a taste of Toronto\u2019s Queen Street scene of the 1980s. Working with inspirational fiddler\/composer Oliver Schroer<\/strong> is featured, and we close with a short chapter bringing us all the way from starting a family in the late \u201980s to recent events. But the emphasis of Evidence of Ecstasy is on earlier times when people were not armed with cell phones and much less was documented visually. David did not intend to be a documentary photographer, but he certainly managed to capture some memorable images and has assembled them into a compelling story.\u201d<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rock Of Pages: The Literary Tradition Of 1980s Heavy Metal<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Jesse Kavadlo<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nTHE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cRock Of Pages<\/em> provides contexts and close readings of 1980s heavy metal with 40 years of hindsight, drawing upon analytical frameworks usually associated with literature and literary studies. Based on decades of work as a professor of literature and as a musician, Jesse Kavadlo<\/strong> analyzes the ways in which 1980s heavy metal aligns with and develops many of the themes prevalent in the canon of literature. In doing so, the book examines some of the contexts of 1980s heavy metal, including Cold War<\/strong>, the rise of MTV<\/strong>, and the formation of the Parents Music Resource Center<\/strong> and subsequent congressional hearings. Rock Of Pages<\/em> takes the PMRC<\/strong>\u2019s own objections to heavy metal and uses them as titles and topics to analyze the intersections between heavy metal and literature: Representations of violence, but the connected concerns about justice; images of substance abuse, and the interrelated issues of obsession, madness, suicidal ideation; sex and love, with, concomitantly, representations of women and relationships between men and women; and the references to the occult, with the depictions of Satan<\/strong>, the afterlife, and morality on Earth itself. In doing so, the book suggests that 1980s heavy metal displayed more artistry and intelligence than people imagine, but that literature is rebellious and subversive as well.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
