Live Bands and Gigs

Three of the 5 members of Maroon 5 have already known each other ever since Junior High. While they were attending Brentwood School, Adam Levine and Jesse Carmichael teamed with Mickey Madden and Ryan Dusick to form Kara’s Flowers. At that time, it was a garage/grunge band that played its first gig at the Whisky a Go Go. Their first gig was on September 16, 1995. In 2001, Valentine joined the band and the name was officially changed to Maroon 5.

The band’s debut album contained mostly inspired materials by Levine who had a tumultuous relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Jane. The name of the album was such because the band felt “…like it was the most honest statement we could make with the title.”

Vocalist Ryan Tedder is the writer of the song which in the band’s own words, “ explores the personal pain of multiple relationships gone awry and the necessity of moving on.” In the history of Top 40 Radio in North America, never has a song garnered so much, racking up to 10693 spins in one week, a no-brainer breakthrough compared to the previos record of 370 spins. The song was number 1 in 16 countries including Australia, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey, Sweden, Germany, Austria, and New Zealand. It stayed as number 1 on Billboard’s Pop 100 for a staggering 8 consecutive weeks while an eye-popping 13 weeks in Canada.

Trance music transpire in the early 90’s and became typical during the turn of the millenium. Basically, it is a fusion of electronic dance and techno music characterized by repetitive rhythms and melodies with shifting sounds. Musicians generally make the repeating melodies more interesting by altering the filter cuffs on the synthesizers, changing the sound from dull to piercing and bright.

Trance music is one of the most fashionable forms of music that is truly electronic; it relies heavily on synthesizers, sequencers, and electronic effects to produce different sounds. The Roland TR 808, TR 909, and TB 303 are typically used in trance. Although these models are around 20 years old, newer drum machines and bass synths mimic their sounds. Other synthesizers are also combined to add variety and spice to the mix. Orchestral arrangements and computer treatments are also added to trance music to make the melodies more complex.
