Ram Dass first went to India in 1967. He was still Dr. Richard Alpert, a prominent Harvard psychologist and psychedelic pioneer with Dr. Timothy Leary. He continued his psychedelic research until that fateful Eastern trip in 1967, when he traveled to India. In India, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, affectionately known as Maharajji, who gave Ram Dass his name, which means “servant of God.” Everything changed then – his intense dharmic life started, and he became a pivotal influence on a culture that has reverberated with the words “Be Here Now” ever since. Ram Dass’ spirit has been a guiding light for three generations, carrying along millions on the journey, helping to free them from their bonds as he works through his own.

OFFICIAL BIO -  DIANE AND THE GENTILE MEN 
(Diane Gentile, Matt Basile, Colin Brooks, Jason Victor)
With Alfonso Velez sometimes.
Diane had just returned from an acoustic tour in England and began working late nights at a local music venue in New York City.  She spent many hours there listening to every kind of band perform. "It made me miss being on stage and kept knawing at me to get on with my real passion."  One of the bands that really spoke to her was The Miracle 3, fronted by renown singer/songwriter Steve Wynn, of the Dream Syndicate. "There was a magical interplay between him and guitarist Jason Victor.  It had a certain melodic chaos, that distinct kind that I really wanted to hear on my record.".   She then met drummer Colin Brooks at a show where he was laying down his super soul beats in The Hurricane Bells. She was also inspired by bassist Matt Basile, on stage with a dual female fronted rock band, Mother Feather. "Suddenly I saw before me, my new group."   Alfonso Velez walked in shortly thereafter and became the final addition to this congregation. This is how Diane and The Gentle Men came to be. 

Not too long after playing shows to full houses in venues such as Rockwood Music Hall and Berlin in downtown Manhattan, the band soon ended up in a cool new studio built in an old firehouse in Redhook Brooklyn, called Atomic, where Interpol and Mark Ronson had recently recorded.  Steve Wynn agreed to produce this first EP to be released through Velvet Elk/One Little Indian Records (Bjork, Dead Heavens, Twilight Singers). 

The A-side, "Motorcycle" "was inspired by strumming a warn in 1957 Gibson drinking a glass of white wine and thinking about one of the new local heroes in town, who plays in a couple of bands, Threats/Drowners.   B- side "Boyfriend" and bonus track "Wasted Word" were blasted through fast and loose in that instant one-day session.

The record was mixed by Clif Norell, (R.E.M., The Replacements, Bruce Springsteen) and the other tracks mixed by Merle Chornuk (Ryan Adams, Nels Cline), the owner of Atomic Studios. 

With this first EP behind her, Diane began opening for acclaimed artists: Richard Lloyd (Television), Steve Wynn, Jesse Malin, Tommy Stinson, Jason Darling, Laura Cantrell and more.   Diane and the Gentle Men finished recording the full album in November 2018 for release fall of 2019.

"For years I've written songs behind closed doors. I've craved for the moment when the writing would go to the players, come alive, hit tape, and gain character, finally reaching that stage, where the songs are no longer just mine.”

INFO ON CAUGHT IN A WAVE ALBUM - 2015
THE ALBUM

New York- based Tara Angell has been writing songs since childhood but only started seriously sharing them in the late nineties.  At the advice of her friends and management, she took out a bank loan to pay for the recording of her debut record.  It was only by chance that after playing SXSW in 2003, she got signed to Rykodisc.  They released the critically acclaimed "Come Down", produced by Joseph Arthur, worldwide, in'05.  She played shows with some of her heroes--Lucinda Williams, Joseph Arthur and Big Star, but a struggle with chronic Lyme Disease slowed her down from performing.  She is now doing paper collage, and still writing and recording at home.  She always holds hope that she will still release music that fits her standards.  She loves collaborating, so hit her up if you love her stuff and have ideas.  To get the full TA experience, one must listen to "Come Down" --> http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/taraangell .  Sometimes all the stars are in place and you just strike gold.  This site plays some of her little shiny pieces. less
