Music Conference
 (Review written by Liana DiMarco)NXNE 2002

It's hard to believe that even in its eighth year NXNE has once again managed to organize a great music business conference and an overly talented musical showcase. An endless world of talent, there is no half full or half empty glass.

Aussie export Gilli Moon was among the talent at the Lounge 88 with California guest Terri DiMarco. Between the vocals, keyboards and guitar, this duo doesn't need any additional instrumentation to showcase it's fundamental and obvious songwriting skills. Terri's guitar work added some fabulous rhythm and active melange with Gilli's smooth keyboard sounds.

Rehearsing

Terri's debut CD, "Pacific Ocean," is a mix of rock'n blues — my fav being "Try to be Normal" which I figure is a perfect title for an upbeat blues rock tune. Her vocals vary from soft folksy to assertive rock and, of course, the guitar work is pure rock'n. Move over Joni.

Gilli's artsie "Temperamental Angel" is an extension of her visual arts creative nature. A combo of sensual vocals and hot tune, this particular song is sure to gain much attention. Great dance tunes. Hit the floor Jack!
