When they hit the road for their debut tour in summer
2002, this is what Gina had to say about the
Malvinas:
| |
"The Malvinas are myself and two former members of an
all-female quartet out of Dallas called Chattervox.
They are Lisa Markley, on guitar, who still lives in
Dallas, and Beth Cahill, on mandolin and tenor guitar,
who now lives in Canada. As you can imagine, these
days, it's a bit of a challenge for us to get
together, but somehow, we managed to put together a CD. |
| |
"I met Lisa at Kerrville a couple of years ago, and Beth
the day before we all played our first gig together,
back in October. The CD grew from there: I think it
grew out of something we were going to push at Folk
Alliance to help us get some gigs. We landed a radio
gig in Chicago, and that got the ball rolling to go on
tour this summer. We each contributed three songs, plus
there's a cover--a real stunner of a song to the Virgin
Mary by a guy from New Jersey named Mike Laureanno. |
| |
"In a few short months, it has come to feel like a good
match: I give them my "edge" and my swamp/country roots,
and they give to me their smoothness, their pop and
jazz influences, their musicianship, and some
incredible songs. |
| |
"Realistically, it may be hard to keep it going, as we
all live so far away from each other--but I can honestly
say that there are few people I've enjoyed playing with
as much as I've enjoyed playing with Lisa Markley and
Beth Cahill. |
| |
"I don't know if that tells you much about our music,
except to say that it's still pretty folky. There's not
a lot of production on the CD, except for one or two
songs at the most. Oh yeah, the web site, for what it's
worth, is www.themalvinas.com.
I think there's a sound clip from our CD, as well as one
from each of our solo projects." |
i'm not like this has been garnering rave reviews
since its release in July 2002:
| |
"Throughout this engaging collection, the acoustic guitars ring true as the
three voices intertwine for spot-on harmonies. More folk music should be this
invigorated."
—Keith Spera, The Times-Picayune, New Orleans, LA |
