Filmmaker Matthu Placek’s Tempestuous New Video for Trixie Whitley’s Soaring Ballad
A heartbroken but defiant Trixie Whitley faces a storm of emotions in the video for her new song, “A Thousand Thieves,” directed by filmmaker Matthu Placek. The daughter of blues legend Chris Whitley, Trixie grew up between Belgium and New York in a family of passionate musicians, artists and writers, learning drums, guitar and piano at an early age. For the past two years the singer-songwriter has been recording and touring with Black Dub, the band of super-producer Daniel Lanois who worked with Brian Eno on U2’s The Joshua Tree and has produced records for artists like Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Willie Nelson. Currently soloing across Europe, Whitley caught Placek’s attention with her soulful, smoky vocals and sensitive tunes while performing at New York salon Le Poisson Rouge. “All of a sudden, she lets out her voice and I just flew against the wall,” says the former V magazine and Vogue photographer. They bonded that night, and soon Whitley was standing in a Balenciaga dress singing into four high-powered fans over a 14-hour day to the single take. “She really knows what she wants,” says Placek. “You’d think she’s this shrinking violet—and she is––but she is strong. She’s very true to herself.”

BTW… I was recently in my local Guitar Center to get a Mic Boom/Stand, Pop Filter, cables, etc… and they do this cheesy little demo… where they hold a lighter behind a nylon mesh pop filter and tell you to blow it out… which you do immediately on the first breath… then they put it behind a metal screen pop filter and tell you to do the same… and you can’t… sold!! — of course the metal pop screen is like 3 times the cost of the nylon one… but, it’s hard to argue with the result of their little demo…

I believe in you
Black Dub
I realize it’s a matter of personal taste… but, I had the best time at last night’s Black Dub concert at Diesel in Pittsburgh. Daniel Lanois is a rock n roll legend… Brian Blade was fantastic on drums and Daryl Johnson equally so on bass. However… it’s Trixie Whitley that really steals the show. Trixie is this tiny little thing… who sings as though she were possessed by higher powers… and she is truly something to see!
However I doubt that anyone made any money last night… as there couldn’t have been more than 100 people there… it was the most intimate concert I’ve ever attended… the audience was right when they called them back for an encore!
(correction — I’m not sure who the bass player was on Friday night… in retrospect it did not appear to be Daryl Johnson… who I think is a lot older than the guy who played on Friday night… also, there’s some great background on Daniel in this post on the Post-Gazzete website… http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11167/1153902-388.stm by Scott Mervis)
