Cathy Richardson Hi! i ♥ u. Chicago area dates filling in... hit the music tab on my page
Poised for Greatness: The Macrodots, New San Francisco Supergroup debuts at West Fest 10/25 Golden Gate Park Speedway Meadows, East Stage, 4PM Rock Goddess Cathy Richardson has not had a moment to sit still since relocating to San Francisco in 2006 after starring in the Janis Joplin bio-musical Love, Janis at the Mari...nes Memorial Theater. In between tours fronting two legendary Bay Area classic rock bands- Joplin’s band Big Brother and the Holding Co. in 2007, and Paul Kantner’s Jefferson Starship from 2008 to the present (with whom she recorded the band’s first new studio album in over a decade, Jefferson’s Tree of Liberty)- Richardson teamed up with San Francisco guitarist, producer and songwriter, Zack Smith (founding member of the 80s pop rock band Scandal), to create The Macrodots and their new classic debut album, The Other Side. “After seeing me in Love, Janis, Zack talked to me about creating a new band that would showcase my harder rocking side and give him a chance to create the consummate, timeless rock album he’s always wanted to make. And I said, ‘ummm… ok, that sounds cool.’ He sent me 10 fully produced song seedlings and said, ‘What do you think of these?’ And they were all good,” states Richardson devoid of any facial expression or vocal inflection whatsoever. After writing and recording some 20 songs, Richardson and Smith have narrowed it down to 11 epic rock tunes with unabashed shades of Led Zeppelin (take Rock and Roll Part Two, for example) Aerosmith (like the ball-kicking rocker Kiss My Ass), David Bowie (the haunting Beautiful Girl), guitar driven riff rockers with vintage keys and hooks-a-plenty, lushly layered under the gorgeous and gut wrenching vocals of the Divine Ms. R., and almost entirely recorded in Smith’s SOMA studio. Mr Smith enlisted some of his famous friends to play on the recording long distance via audio files over the internet -Rami Jaffe (Foo Fighters) Michael Lockwood (Aimee Mann, Lisa Marie Presley), Blair Sinta (Alannis Morrisette, Brandy Carlisle) and Donny Baldwin (Richardson’s bandmate in Jefferson Starship) all contributed to multiple tracks. Super hot producer/engineer Joe Chicarelli (the White Stripes, the Shins, the Raconteurs) even traded mixing a couple songs for a painting in Smith’s collection. Plans are to shop a record deal and get out of the studio and play the songs live. “What better way to debut than in front of 50,000 people?” asks Richardson, completely deadpan, almost as if she were comatose. Actually, they attempted to put a band together and played a couple local shows as Pillowface last year, “Then we found out there was already another Pillowface on the East Coast… God, this sounds like Spinal Tap!” states Richardson, her eyes now shut and a small amount of drool drizzling down her lip. Richardson also joined Jefferson Starship at the same time and became extremely busy on the road, putting the “new band” on hold but getting priceless stage experience in front of arena crowds and winning over new fans all over the world. “I am a superstar,” mutters Richardson from curled in a ball under a nearby table. Richardson and Smith have assembled a stellar cast of Bay Area musicians for the live show, namely Jude Gold on guitar, Ari Gorman on bass, Danny Eisenberg on keys (Counting Crows, Shelby Lynn) and Donny Baldwin on drums. And so, as they stand on the precipice of greatness, ready to unleash the rock onto the hungry masses who are yearning to worship an album worthy of getting stuck in their heads that they haven’t heard already a thousand times before, Richardson lifts her head off the floor to explain the band’s new and permanent name, “We are right now the smallest band ever. No one has even heard of us. However, we are destined to become the biggest band in the Universe, and it’s possible that we already are, in other dimensions. Dear Humankind, I give you the Macrodots. You’re welcome.” For more more information, visit http:// www.themacrodots.com Read More
