ATHENS POPFEST 2006 LIVE SHOW REVIEW - BABY CALENDAR
Athens Exchange
by Sera Kate Sims
Published on 08/10/06 - (link)

I can barely contain myself as I write about Baby Calendar's show on Wednesday night at Little Kings. This might be one of my favorite new bands, and I don't really like indie pop all that much. That being said, my general feeling about Baby Calendar is... they rocked! Before the first song was over, Arik, the drummer and tambourine player extraordinare, had already taken his shirt off and was dancing around the stage in short shorts and no shoes. I'm jealous that I was not having as much fun as the band seemed to be having. The crowd must have felt the same way, because they turned into a crowd of dancing fools as soon as the set was under way.Baby Calendar's vocalists, Tom and Jackie, go back and forth creating exciting and catchy melodies that leave you tapping your feet. "Cute" is normally such a condescending word, but it's honestly how they sound, and I don't think Baby Calendar would deny this. The harmonies between Tom and Jackie are amazing; they sound like seasoned pros, not kids from Miami playing music for fun. Even while jumping around on stage and singing/playing their hearts out, they never miss a beat.It was loud, but not loud just for volume's sake. Their sound sort of enveloped the entire inside of Little Kings and wrapped all around me, still, never overpowering their melodies. I don't know what their following is like around Miami, but if Baby Calendar continues to show up in Athens, I'm sure they will acquire a loyal, local fan base in no time. Look for them again on August 18th at Little Kings for the Casper and the Cookies CD release party. From Popfest, they will continue on their Summer 2006 East to West, South to North USA tour.

"Feel" is of utmost importance, and how it feels to us is top priority. Some songs come together seemingly on their own, everything just feels right. Even so, every song is thoughtfully put together. No thought is given to trying to make the songs cute or dancey or fun, that just happens on its own as it's in the back of our minds the entire time - we're having fun writing and putting the songs together, sometimes we get silly with it, but not so silly that it's tasteless or meaningless.
Each song has meaning, each song was carefully crafted to be a good song, to stand on its own. Some songs are more well liked by people than others, that's normal and it's fine. The point is that songwriting is important to us, and so is having fun. And so is keeping it real, being ourselves, and putting out there what feels good to us. SO keep it tight bros!!

Love, BC

BABY CALENDAR
Miami New Times
By Abel Folgar
Article Published May 4, 2006

For the past couple of years, as we near the dreadful Florida summer, nothing comes as close to "good omen" as a brand-new Baby Calendar release. Seriously, the group's saccharine goodness helps combat the humid heat that takes over the Magic City and, though not substantially proven yet, might actually cause strangers to greet each other. I was suspicious of the band's recording lull but, at last, the trio of Jackie Biver (vox/keys/bass), Tom Gorrio (vox/guitar), and Arik Dayan (drums) will have a new full-length album titled Gingerbread Dog on Georgia's Happy Happy Birthday to Me Records. Then they'll embark on another marathon tour in which they'll gig your granny's knickers if she'll have 'em. Their blend of indie-pop, gospel inflection, whimsical punk, and childlike innocence is high on the "infectious" and has allowed them a purely DIY lifestyle while selling hundreds of copies of their previous EP and LP. And yes, there is talk of a split seven-inch hitting stores by this fall, as well as an unconfirmed statement about their moving to Georgia. In tow on the tour will be fellow indie popsters Fake Problems, with their Naples take on electric folk, and the street-corner acoustic punk of Tallahassee's On the Strings Of. But really: peaches? Fuck the peaches, Babies oranges are so much better. link

Baby Calendar plans a national self-booked tour

By Liza Hearon

Forget the beat-up van full of beat-up old amps. This summer, Miami natives Baby Calendar will pack up a Honda Element and hit the road, hauling their quirky, jangling indie pop everywhere from Houston to Kalamazoo.

Singer-(bassist)-keyboardist Jackie Biver, singer-guitarist Tom Gorrio and drummer Arik Dayan have only been together for about a year and a half, but already they have two albums out and one more coming out in May.

Your Move is an acoustic EP from Biver and Gorrio, then Dayan joined in on drums on full-length Fifteen Year Old Sneakers.

Gingerbread Dog will be released by Happy Happy Birthday to Me Records. Its 11 tracks are full of clever, catchy indie pop that fits right in with the Athens, Ga.-based label.

Relentless touring and a DIY (ethic) have made Baby Calendar local heroes, who are now poised to take on the national scene.

See Baby Calendar along with Defiance, Ohio, Madeline, Erin Tobey and others at 5 p.m. Saturday at Uncle Sam's Loft, 4580 N. University Drive, Lauderhill. Cover is $5. Call 954-742-2466.

Find them at myspace.com/babycalendar or babycalendarmusic.com.
