Auditioning for Lady Gaga's Band...

Here is a link to a forum with a few insider accounts on the audition process for Lady Gaga's live touring band for the second leg of the Monster Ball. Going through the posts on this thread, there are quite a number of losers (who would refuse the advantages of playing for the most talked about artist of the moment), but a few interesting facts can also be read...

New Lady Gaga Touring Band!

GagaFrontRow exclusive! For the arena part of the Monster Ball tour from February 18, 2010 onwards, a new Lady Gaga live touring band is recruited. As announced in an earlier post, auditions for the new band were held in New York City with musical director Joe "Flip" Wilson. Here is more information on all the new band members:

• Joe "Flip" Wilson (musical director)
• Judy Kang (electric violin)
• George "Spanky" McCurdy (drums)
• Rashida Jolley (harp)
  
• Brockett Parsons (keyboards)
  
• Lanar “Kern” Brantley (bass)
  
• Kareem Devlin (guitar)
  
• Ricky Tillo (guitar)
  
• Charity Davis (background vocals)
• Ameera Perkins (background vocals)
• Lenesha Randolph (background vocals)
  
• Posh! The Prince (background vocals)
  

Here's some background information about these performers. Musical director Joe "Flip" Wilson is from Newark, NJ. His work is influenced by such greats as Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Jaco Pastorius, and Stevie Wonder. As producer and keyboard player, he has worked with various gospel acts and with artists such as Beyonce.

Drummer George "Spanky" McCurdy was born in Philadelphia. By age 13, he was playing with several local acts, and at age 20 he played in the gospel band Tye Tribette. He has toured and recorded with many well-known artists, including Diddy, Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Mariah Carey, Brandy, and Snoop Dogg.

Canadian violinist Judy Kang started playing at age 4 in her native Edmonton. At age 11 she was accepted at the Curtis Institute of Music, and at 17 she received a Bachelor's degree in music. She has since performed at classical music festivals all over the world. She most recently played the 1689 'Baumgartner' Stradivarius. On the Monster Ball Tour, Judy will play a 5-string electric violin called "The Viper".

Rashida Jolley is a harpist and singer. Coined the “soulful harpist,” Rashida is the daughter of Noble Jolley, Sr., the late renowned jazz guitarist. The youngest person appointed to the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS, Rashida has performed on TV, most notably on America's Got Talent, and on stages across the world.

Brockett Parsons is a keyboard player who has been a member of Rahj. He plays classical, r&b, hop hop, and more. He performed on TV shows with Kerry Underwood and Bo from American Idol fame. He is most famous as a winner on Diddy's Making His Band.

Lanar “Kern” Brantley has played bass guitar and bass keyboards for many internationally renowned recording artists, including Destiny's Child, Beyonce, Faith Evans, Usher, Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, LL Cool J, Will Smith, Grover Washington Jr., and Whitney Houston.

Kareem Devlin is a guitarist from New York City whose first band was signed to Warner Brothers when he was just 15 years young. Kareem played in American Minor and has also played for, produced, and co-written with many great recording artists, such as Daniella Cotton, Ben Jelen, and The Deuce Project. He plays Gibson guitars.

Ricky Tillo is a guitar player from Toronto, Canada. He has played in Robotman, The Quits, and ActionFigureArmy, and lend his services to Esthero, Roz Bell, and Kalan Porter. His influences and styles range from rock (Hendrix, Van Halen) to r&b (Prince) and jazz (Montgomery).

There are four background vocalists in the new Gaga band! The arena part of the Monster Ball Tour will be the first time Lady Gaga has featured background vocalists in her live concerts. Charity Davis has experience singing in choirs, specializing in gospel and r&b. Her mother is University of Illinois music professor Ollie Watts Davis.

Ameera Perkins was born in Cincinnati, OH, and began singing at the age of seven, originally focusing on gospel music. She has also acted, and was accepted to the School of Creative and Performing Arts. She starred in Diddy's TV show Making His Band.

Lenesha Randolph is a vocalist and song writer from East Organge, New Jersey, who has worked for Artist Incorporated. She has been singing background vocals for recording artist Lauryn Hill and performed vocal duties in Robert Randolph & The Family Band.

Posh! The Prince is a singer from New York City, who has mostly worked in Berlin, Germany. He has been described as a wild devilish fox who shouts from the stage, screeching, rapping. "I'm doing the Madonna thing here in Berlin," he said. Now, he'll be doing it all on the Monster Ball tour.

The choreographer for the Monster Ball continues to be Laurie Ann Gibson. Her assistant is Richie Jackson. The dancers are: Michael Silas (aka Mickey Mugler, aka Micky McGlaire), Ian Mckenzie (aka Louis Lagerfield, aka Lewis Loggerfeld), Asiel Hardison (aka Duke Jones), Mark Kanemura, Graham Breitenstein, Jeremy Hudson, Montana Efaw, Sloan Taylor-Rabinor, Amanda Balen, and Molly D'Amour.

Collectors Corner Updates

A few more items have recently been added to the GagaFrontRow music collection. Be careful about the illegal bootlegs floating around, although some of the unofficial vinyl releases are kinda nice. If you're into collecting, especially via eBay, read the special advisory at the bottom of this post.

Paparazzi - Promo 12" (Italy)

Bad Romance - Remixes (unofficial bootleg 12")

The Fame "The Gaga Collection" (printed as an Interscope release

from the CIS, this is actually an illegal bootleg, CD&DVD)

SPECIAL ADVISORY

An eBayer by the ID blondmaddy has repeatedly been selling CDR copies of various Gaga remixes, passing them off as rare DJ editions. They are not. These are mere CDR copies that anybody can make themselves. One recent item even included a copy of the "Kandy Life EP" that was originally posted on gagafrontrow.net. To be avoided.
