Disdain for the Ordinary [Explicit Lyrics]
Editorial Reviews Barrett went to Carnegie Mellon University where he double majored in Music and Acting. He was principal cellist at every level until college, where chair position is determined by class, and age. He excelled at music in college where the atmosphere was more of a conservatory. But, he wanted more out of music. After playing so much of other composers music, he decided to start writing his own music. After teaching himself how to play guitar, he played with a few friends until he started his own. Bands include The Rising Sun, Dogs of March, and The Barrett Black Band. Barrett was a model in New York and New Orleans. He has done some acting, stage and motion picture. He has lived on the street, worked out of cars, taught cello in Mexico, played cello in Scotland and has been a professional dancer. Barrett is an avid hockey player, and a martial artist. Barrett Black also has written a rock opera that he hopes to debut in the Summer of 2002 along with three short stories and two plays. All in all, Barrett Black and his band of virtuosos are clear in their mission., to change people’s opinions about listening and loving new music. “There are a lot of beautiful original musicians out there who have never been heard. There are also a lot of charlatans out there that continue to sell records. We want to bridge the gap and make all musicians, all music real again. That is the Barrett Black Band’s mission statement.” Barrett Black’s influences include: Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms, GangStarr, Pharcyde, Radiohead, Stereolab, Fiona Apple, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane’s Addiction, Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix, and Brazil ’77.
