About Martin & Company
Company is a band, from the brah records label, put out by Brooklyn's Oneida.
Company is also a broadway musical.
Company is also a generic term for the cast of a musical.
Company is also a free improv collective curated by Derek Bailey.
Company the band:
The Brooklyn-based band Company evolved out of a miasma of folk, punk, and psychedelic elements in 2001, when its denizens haunted the legendary East Village bar Nine-C in an ongoing residency. Here Company made sounds removed from the contemporary musical main street that defied past categorization. "Folk rock is the label closest to Company's sound, but their rock references are more Clash, Joy Division, and Meat Puppets than '60s California," Pat Sullivan wrote in Index magazine, attempting to sum it up. He added, "Company derive their musical muscle from the folk side of the formula. The best folk singers have the power to rivet a room's attention on the cadences of a vocal inflection or the change of a single chord, and each member of Company has this power in spades." With a seemingly conventional four-piece guitar rock lineup, Company can be found wandering and improvising through traditional and innovative musical styles, but they are always grounded and unified by the songwriter's original vision. Company's members--Adam Davison, David Janik, Christopher Teret and Stephanie Rabins--used these open-ended Nine-C shows like a workshop to develop rough sketches into masterful songs, playing to the audience's mood as well as to their requests. Following the tragic closing of Nine-C in 2003, Company found another small stage to take on a weekly basis at Pete's Candy Store in Williamsburg. These pint-sized settings inform their sound, which is as intimate and homey as it is profound and even ominous at times. The results are songs that fill the room like intoxicated party conversation--loud and soft, wildly silly then suddenly private and sincere. In Time Out New York, Sara Marcus lauded, "the band's phenomenal weekly concerts in that cozy back room showed a group of musicians who are deeply at ease with their sound...impressive performances from a generous, chilled-out band." Staying true to the spirit of the band's name, Company's live shows are all about a community of friends and fans having a good old time together.
Company the musical:
Company is also a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. If you have used this tag to refer to this musical, please change your artist tags to Sondheim.
Company as a generic name:
Company is also another word for Ensemble or the whole cast of a musical. This explains why there are songs in the charts that haven't anything to do with Company the musical or Company the Band. If you have used this as an artist tag, please correct your tags
Company the collective:
And last, but certainly not least. Company is an annual gathering of free improv musicians sponsored by Derek Bailey. Recordings of those gatherings are then put out under the band name "Company" on the Incus label. The lineup is ever-changing, but have included musicians such as Evan Parker, Han Bennink, John Zorn and many others. One can assume that Company died with bailey on december 25th 2005.
