Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka hui pop pop ʻAmelika ʻo Hazel i ka lā Valentine ma 1992. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻole i lōʻihi ka lōʻihi - ma ka pō o ka lā Valentine 1997, ua ʻike ʻia e pili ana i ka hāʻule ʻana o ka hui.
No laila, ʻelua manawa koʻikoʻi ka patron saint o nā mea aloha i ka hoʻokumu ʻana a me ka wehe ʻana o kahi hui pōhaku. Akā ʻoiai kēia, ua hiki i nā kāne ke waiho i kahi hiʻohiʻona nani i ka neʻe ʻana o ka grunge ʻAmelika.
Hana ʻia ʻo Hazel a me nā lālā o ka hui
Ua hoʻokumu ʻia ka quartet pōhaku ma Portland, Oregon me ʻehā mau lālā:
- Jody Bleyle (pahu, leo)
- Pete Krebs (kikā, leo);
- Brady Smith (bass)
- Fred Nemo (hula).
ʻO ka mea koʻikoʻi o ka Hazel hou, ʻo ia kahi kaikamahine i hana i ka pahu, a ʻo kekahi o ka ʻehā he hula. Ua hoʻonohonoho ʻo ia i kahi hana haʻalulu maoli i ka wā o nā ʻahamele ma ke kahua.
Eia kekahi, ua huki nā mea hoʻokani i ka manaʻo o ka lehulehu me kahi hui like ʻole o nā leo wahine a me nā kāne no ka pōhaku. Hāʻawi kēia i nā haku mele i hana ʻia i kahi mele kūikawā. Ma muli o kēia hiʻohiʻona, ua koho ʻia ka hui hoʻokumu e ka poʻe loiloi mele ma ke ʻano he power pop. Ua hoʻokō ʻo Pete lāua ʻo Jody i kā lāua ʻāpana i nā kī like ʻole, a ua hui pū ʻia ko lāua mau leo a me ka hoʻohui ʻana i kekahi i kekahi.
A ma ke mele, ua maʻalahi nā haku mele. Hoʻokumu ʻia lākou ma ʻekolu mau mele a hīmeni i nā kumuhana banal. ʻO kahi laʻana, "Ka Hoa maikaʻi o kēlā me kēia kanaka" - ke kaumaha o ka haʻalele ʻana me kahi mea aloha, a i ʻole "Day Glo" - hōʻike i kahi manaʻo hauʻoli ma mua o ka hālāwai ʻana me kahi kaikamahine āu i ʻike ʻole ai. Akā ʻo ia mau kikokikona a me nā mele i pili a hoʻomaopopo ʻia e ka poʻe ʻōpio.
Nā hana ʻoliʻoli a Hazel ma nā ʻaha mele
ʻO ka hiʻohiʻona kaulana o ka hui ʻo Fred Nemo, nāna i ʻaʻahu me ka hoʻonāukiuki a me ke ʻano ʻē. ʻAʻole mele a pāʻani kēia ʻumiʻumi, akā ua hoʻonohonoho ʻo Sodoma a me Gomora maoli ma ke kahua. ʻO kāna mau ʻanuʻu hula ʻāhiu i hele pū ʻia me nā mea hoʻonui a me nā mea kiʻekiʻe a me nā mea kani.
I ka manawa like, ua kuʻi ka pilikua i nā mea koʻikoʻi, kahi i hoʻohuli ai i ka lehulehu i loko o ka huhū. Nani au i koʻu mau aʻalolo me ka makaʻu o lele aku kēia mau mea a pau mai ka neʻe hoʻokahi wale nō i loko o ke keʻena. A inā ʻoe e noʻonoʻo i ka wikiwiki o kekahi mau haku mele, a laila ua lilo ka hana i pupule maoli.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Hazel i kekahi mau wikiō, hāʻawi i ʻelua album "Toreador of Love" a me "Are You Going To Eat That". Ua mahalo ka poʻe hoʻohewa i kēia mau hana. ʻAʻole naʻe kēia i hoʻololi i ke ʻano o ka mōʻaukala. I ka makahiki o ka pani ʻana o ka hui, ua hānau ʻia ka album 5 mele "Airiana". ʻO nā paio a me ka hoʻomaopopo ʻole ma waena o nā lālā o ka hui i alakaʻi i kona hāʻule ʻana.
Ma ka lā 13 o Pepeluali i ka makahiki 1997, hāʻawi nā kāne i kā lākou ʻaha mele hope loa ma Portland a hoʻolele i ka poʻe pā me kahi peni. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ma hope o kēlā, hui pū lākou i hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope a hana i ʻelua mau manawa. Akā, ʻo ka hoʻomaopopo like ʻana ma waena o lākou a ʻaʻole i loaʻa.
Ua kākau ʻia nā inoa o nā lālā a pau o Hazel i loko o ka Hale Hoʻohanohano ʻo Oregon Music Hall i ka makahiki 2003, ʻoiai ʻo ka discography o ka hui he 12 wale nō mau hana. Pehea lākou i kūkulu ai i kā lākou ʻoihana i kēlā me kēia:
Jody Blayle
ʻO Jody ka mea hoʻokani leo a me ka mea hoʻokani pahu, nona nō hoʻi ke kīkā bass. Akā ma Hazel, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i hōʻike i kona akamai i ke kīkā. Ma mua o kona komo ʻana i ka hui mele rock ʻAmelika, hoʻokani ke kaikamahine i ka hui mele Lovebutt. I kēlā mau manawa lōʻihi ʻo ia i aʻo ai ma ke Kulanui ʻo Reed.
I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope o ka puka ʻana o ka hui pōhaku ʻo Hazel, ua hoʻonohonoho like ʻo Blayle i ka hui wahine ʻo Team Dresch, i hui pū ʻia me ia, ʻo Donna Dresh lāua ʻo Kaya Wilson.
Ma lalo o ka lepili Free To Fight, nona nā Blail, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia nā album na Hazel, Team Dresch a me nā mea pena kiʻi ʻē aʻe. Ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i kekahi mau mele a me kahi moʻolelo, ua haʻalele ka hui kaikamahine ma hope o Hazel. Me nā kaikamahine ʻē aʻe, ua hoʻokumu ʻo Jody Bleyle hoʻomaha i kahi hui hou, ʻo Infinite.
Mai ka makahiki 2000, hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hoʻokani me kona kaikunāne, e hoʻonohonoho ana i ka hui Family Outing. I ka makahiki 2004-2005 ua pāʻani ʻo ia i ka bass ma ka hui Prom. Akā, ua hoʻopau ʻia nā hana ma muli o ka hāpai ʻana o kekahi o nā mea komo. I ka manawa like, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album solo o ka mea hoʻokani "Lesbians on Ecstasy".
Ua hui hou ʻo Team Dresch no kahi hana ma ka ʻaha hoʻolauleʻa ʻo Homo-A-Go-Go, a ma hope iho ua pāʻani lākou i kekahi mau ʻaha mele a hele pū kekahi. Noho ʻo Jody i Los Angeles i kēia manawa.
Pete Krebs
Ua manaʻo ʻia ka lua o ka mea hoʻokani mele ma mua o ka puka ʻana mai o Hazel. Ma hope o ka pau ʻana o ka hui pōhaku, ua hui pū ʻo ia me nā hui mele he nui a hoʻokuʻu i kahi album solo Western Electric ma 1997. Ua lilo ʻo ia i hoihoi i ke kumu o ka gypsy jazz.
Mai 2004 a i 2014 ua pāʻani ʻo ia ma The Stolen Sweets. ʻAʻole pili kēia hui iā Hazel, ʻoi aku ka like me nā kaikuahine ʻo Boswell mai nā makahiki 30.
Noho ʻo Krebs ma Portland, e hāʻawi ana i nā haʻawina kīkā. Hana pū me nā hui like ʻole ma ke kono.
Fred Nemo
Ma hope o ka haʻihaʻi ʻana o Hazel, ua lilo ʻo Fred i mea hoihoi i ka holo kaʻa a lilo ʻo ia i mea hana ma Portland. Eia hou, ua hana ʻo ia me Tara Jane O'Neill no ka manawa lōʻihi.
Brady Smith
Ua haʻalele ka mea hoʻokani bass mua i ke mele no ka wā pau ʻole, a lilo i kanaka hanohano. ʻAʻole ʻo ia i hui pū me nā hui pōhaku ʻē aʻe. Ke holo nei ʻo ia i ke kula paionia ma Bronx, New York.
ʻO kēia ke ʻano o ka hoʻopau ʻia ʻana o ka hōkū ʻālohilohi i ka lewa o ka pōhaku ʻAmelika e nā ʻuʻuku liʻiliʻi a me nā hakakā. Akā inā i noho pū nā kāne, hiki iā lākou ke piʻi i kahi kiʻekiʻe i ʻike ʻole ʻia. Ma ka liʻiliʻi loa, ua loaʻa iā lākou nā mea e pono ai no kēia - kālena, hoʻomohala, noʻonoʻo noʻonoʻo.
