1173.0. "Bif Naked" by WOTVAX::DAVIESG (I had too much to dream last night) Mon Aug 05 1996 10:01

    I got hold of this on CD a couple of months ago, and its barely been
    off the player since (currently just this and the new Sreaming Trees
    are getting constant airplay :-)). So thought I'd create this note in
    case anyone else is into it or knows if there are other records by
    her/them (don't know if Bif Naked actually means the band, I think not,
    but just in case) and if she tours (is she likely to get to the
    UK?).
    
    The CD's got 11 tracks (the last ones just spoken word), the main style
    being Seatlle type riffs over a wide variety of musical backdrops. I
    know "Daddy's getting married" was a single. It sounds quite similar to
    "Today" by the Smashing Pumpkins. Most of the lyrics are on the intense
    and personnal side, there seems to be a lot of soul baring here?!?
    
    Track Listing:-
    1. Everything
    2. Make Like A Tree
    3. Daddy's getting Married
    4. Tell On You
    5. Never Alone
    6. Over You
    7. Succulent
    8. My Whole Life
    9. The Letter
    10.My Bike
    11.The Gross Gross Man
    
    I think she's Canadian, the record was recorded there and most of the
    credits seem to be Canuk related. However, the mailing address is in
    New York. She also name checks Biohazard for a thank you, so maybe she
    did some gigs with them?
    
    She's also got great tattoos! :-)
    
    Any opinions, comments on what seems to be a great album?

    Cool chick from what I've seen. I've only know of two songs, Daddy's
    geeting married and another one... seen the vids actually, but the
    music is good. 
    She is a Canadian and is on tour right now. She/they plays the smaller
    clubs as the music isn't well known yet.

    Dave,
    
    You wouldn't happen to know the tour dates. Will it get beyond North
    America?

    I'm not sure of any tour dates. The band played here in Ottawa a few
    months ago, and as far as I know, they are still heading west.
    They played a smaller club here called The Cave, which holds about
    100-200 people max. If they come near you, they will be in a small
    place for sure.
