AS many of you know, Trystette has the pleasure of regularly featuring T.M. Stevens in both recorded and live performances so I thought it time to dedicate a band letter to this great musician. I have just come back from touring with T.M. Stevens while they played in Italy, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Every night a new city and 2 1/2 hours of metal funk, afro funk , deep funk and even mosh-pitting metal-speed-funk for oh yea of rubbery knees and malleable limbs. Watching this legendary performer on stage every night winning over new audiences and reducing his faithful fans to fresh gello - as they gleefully trembled in the line of loud bass fire - I remain absolutely the dedicated admirer of trail blazers like TM. He is out there defining his own brand and genre of music, Heavy-Metal Funk, and when he takes a venue, he holds it in the palm of his famous hand and believe me, don’t fight it, you have to like it, it’s too original, he is such an enormous bass virtuoso and soulful singer. Accompanied by the exceptional craftmasters, Master Blaster Michael Barnes, guitar, and T.C Tolliver, drums, it’s hard to accept that three men can create such a huge wall of inspirational sound. The anticipated CD “Africans In The Snow” is not yet available in the USA but I will send you a link as soon as it is and keep you all posted.

Still recovering from the funk !

WEB LAUNCH SOON!

Trystette, New York based singer Carrie Beehan, applauded by the press for her unique vocal and lyrical approach to the break beat dance genre and coolly dramatic voice with her '98 debut album Tryst/Tryst (BMG/Universal) and the front woman of former early 90's satirical Berlin band Cadillac Crooning, presents in 2006 her new album Deepest Part of My Soul. After over a decade in Berlin, Germany, Carrie departed from the renowned Berlin Chamaeleon Variete Theater in the late 1990s lauded as "an exceptional artist whose high-class talent as singer and performer made it a joy for us to engage her". Featured on MTV and international radio with her first electronic Cocteaux Twins flavored album "Tryst" in '98, she left her Berlin home and gravitated towards the USA. Currently, as a member of New York artist's creative epicenter FEVA and the NY Tributary she has merged her cabaret and electronic past with the funk of NY's finest musicians to present original, sensual and rocking melodic songs with extraordinary collisions of pop, electronic, funk, soul, fractured break-beats and cabaret. She performs together with the legendary bassist TM Stevens (Shocka Zooloo, James Brown, Pretenders, Joe Cocker, Billy Joel, Tina Turner), whose skill and proficiency as a bassist, producer, vocalist and sideman is legendary. His ferocious yet melodic style of bass - a special brand of rock, funk and manic soul - is as unique as his larger-than-life onstage persona. Whether accompanying one of the many world-class performers in his resume, or fronting his own progressive metal-funk rock band Shocka Zooloo, his is a musical force to be reckoned with. Trystette's recordings include contributions from T.M.Stevens as both producer and bassist, drums Howard Alper (Radical Thought Resistance; Cory Glover). Veteran guitarist Gerry Eastman - played with New York notables like The Count Basie Orchestra, Frank Foster and Stanley Turrentine. Piano/keyboard Mfergu and guest artists Phaeder (Lotus Beat, United One records, Berlin), guitarist Michael Barnes (Shocka Zooloo) and guitarist John Cabánt (Art Neville, Bo Diddley). Co-production/mixes by Robert L. Smith, a seasoned engineer from New York's Power Station & Hit Factory. Productions include David Bowie's "Black Tie White Noise", Rickie Lee Jones' "It's Like This",& Chaka Khan's "You & I"
