Brett domino nelly furtado biography
Details are still scant on Amanda Palmer‘s new album Amanda Palmer Goes Down Under, but we’ve confirmed that it includes two covers. The songs were all inspired by Australia, so she sings tunes by two native-born musicians: Nick Cave and Peter Jeffries. The record drops on Australia Day (which, as I’m sure you all know, is January 26th).
“I’m putting a record out in just a little more than a month and I’ve been very secretive about it,” she said at a live show Sunday. “It’s a collection of songs I either wrote in or [was inspired to write by] Australia and New Zealand.”
In addition to Aussie-themed songs like “The Vegemite Song” and “Map of Tasmania” (which features gloriously NSFW art), Palmer includes covers by two musicians from down under. To try to keep peace in the southern hemisphere, she selected one from Australia and one from New Zealand.Continue reading »
Brett Domino
British musician
Musical artist
Brett Domino is the alter-ego of British musician and comedian Rob J Madin (born 5 May 1986). As Brett Domino, he is a musician and internet celebrity from Leeds, although Madin is actually from Chesterfield, Derbyshire. He is best known for his YouTube videos, in which he plays covers and original songs on various musical instruments, most notably the keytar. His band, The Brett Domino Trio, currently consists of only two members, Domino and "Steven Peavis" (Ste Anderson), having only been a three-piece for around a year. "Mitch Hutchinson" (Michael Denny) left the band in 2009, allegedly to become a forklift truck driver; he later returned to celebrate the band's fifth anniversary and appear on the finale of Brett Domino's Weekly YouTube Thing.
Career
The Brett Domino Trio were featured a number of times as part of BBC Radio 1's The Chris Moyles Show in 2008, and in 2009 the band appeared on ITV's Britain's Got Talent, performing live as the house band on two episodes of ITV2's sister show, Britain's Got More Talent.
Domino's YouTube videos have received over 31 million views and have been promoted by the likes of Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, and Ellie Goulding.
On 22 November 2010, Domino released a song called "Gillian McKeith", a humorous take on the celebrity during her time in the 10th series of the ITV show I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!. The YouTube video gained over 1 million views in a week and entered the UK Singles Chart at number 29 on 28 November 2010.
In 2011, Madin introduced a YouTube character named "C-Bomb" — a self-proclaimed dubstep super-producer. On 14 June 2012, BBC Comedy uploaded a specially commissioned C-Bomb music video entitled "Bowl Date" to its website and YouTube channel, followed by a further music video "Mutha Nature" on 4 October 2012.[citation ne A pen banging against a wine bottle; a box of candy; a handful of coins; an aerosol can; a shower nozzle. These are some of the more unusual sounds that populate Brett Domino‘s virtuoso cover medley of Nelly Furtado hits. Filling out the cast of eclectic instruments: a stylophone, an accordion, a ukulele, a kazoo, the mighty keytar, and even an iPhone xylophone. You’ve never heard Nelly Furtado quite like this! Part Pomplamoose videosong, part Napoleon Dynamite celebration of geekiness, Brett Domino racked up millions of YouTube views with similarly geektastic covers of Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, and Michael Jackson. Last year, he and his trio appeared on Britain’s Got Talent, winning over the crowd and judges (minus a completely bewildered Simon Cowell). Don’t be fooled by the deadpan awkwardness on display; he’s got the musical chops too. Behind the Brett Domino persona lurks 27-year-old Rob J. Madin, a graduate in Music Production from Leeds College of Music.Continue reading » .
