Speaking of "voice carrying around", Tuesday's band has been going on for the past 35 years now... Just like the 1980s replaced the 1990s, they have never been in a show. Is the prospect of reunion a freezing situation for singer-songwriter Aimee Mann? Obviously not: No matter what obstacles may have been encountered before, the original group will perform together for the first time in thirty years this weekend, in Pasadena’s annual brutal world festival in Pasadena, according to Goldenvoice’s request.

Man said type She is personally happy to re-join the band members Robert Holmes (guitar), Joey Pesce (keyboard) and Michael Hausman (drums). (The latter is someone she has stayed in constant contact with: Hausman gave up performing to become her longtime manager.) In a phone conversation before the band did its most serious rehearsals for this possible one-time-only gig, she discussed what she was finding most unnerving about reviving the group's 1980s catalog, which was spread across just three albums (1985's “Voices Carry,” 1986's “Welcome Home” and 1988's "Everything's Different Now"). When she re-examined her focus from the group's earliest material, she said, "I don't understand how that person did it. It's like you want to sing karaoke, 'Oh, how does this work?'"

She allowed that there might be further demonstrations until Tuesday if there was such a requirement and the need was there. But the band hardly represents her greatest glory as she continues to pursue a solo career, which makes her one of the most precious and accomplished singer-songwriters in the rock world. She will revisit the latest part of her catalog, the 2002 solo album "Lost In Space" and will be on a monumental tour next month. Meanwhile, it’s a conversation we talked to her about Saturday’s show.

There is good reason to doubt that if it hasn't happened so far, the reunion will never happen until Tuesday. What prompted you to do what you want to do until now, and of course there must be some demand for it?

I think it might be interested. Indeed, my manager Michael Hausman, but also a drummer on Tuesday, said, “We received a quote for this festival…” and I may regret the following lines of thought, but part of me feels like: Well - it would be an interesting challenge to look at the band's sound and whether we can do that. If it makes sense, it is necessary to achieve a goal, which is always attractive. It's a bit like a difficult problem to solve. Like, I wonder how we can achieve this or if we can make it happen… there is a lot of curiosity.

By the way, everyone is great. Like, everyone has just developed into a sweet good person. Not that they weren't before, but it's great when people don't calcify their worst selves. I wish I could say the same thing to myself.

Although time Elapsesd, is there some rust to escape, or will it feel familiar?

Honestly, there may still be a question mark…I've been practicing it, but Michael didn't play drums like he did in 35 years! We all got together just to “let’s pick some songs” and then “Oh, well, that’s what we need to do.” The keyboard player keeps playing music, but I think he’s playing music all the time on the guitar, so I think a huge challenge is how to recreate all of these keyboard sounds. For Michael, it's physical condition is enough to function comfortably. I still play the bass so bass isn't really a problem. I played bass on a song in the scene, so I did have to practice.

But the biggest obstacle for me is that, especially in early songs, I sing completely differently. It's really hard to figure out how to sing because I feel like the style is derived from rock club performance and not really hearing what I'm doing, just wanting to sing as loud as possible. I don't know what to do now. So I actually took a few voice classes to look at: How professionals handle this - like higher notes that they can't really hit? I mean, I obviously lowered all the keys, just because over the years I found it more comfortable to sit in the lower keys. This is my journey. So we will see what will happen.

So you do a party exercise, but it's not really a comprehensive rehearsal that you have to do.

Yes, we will be partying the previous week for a complete production rehearsal. Because you will never get a sound check during the holidays, we want to have the monitor ready and we want to provide tips for the front of the house. I think we'll do some gigs on Jazz (Hollywood rehearsal space) and just invite some friends and just play in front of people because it's a weird guy to do your first gig in 35 years or how long it's been. I am very confident how you play and play a little nervously from people. For this, I don't want to go out on the festival stage…I don't need to be more than before.

Is it easy or challenging to come up with a collection list? Because on these albums, every fan has his own favorite. Probably most people bought the first one because it took a hit, but then your fans do seem to prefer the second or third album.

It's hard for me to know what people really want to hear. We've juggled something, but I think we have a sure list. I think my concerns are like: What songs are harder to sing and should I put them on the show? But it's only a set of 45 minutes. So, this is actually easy to figure out.

Going back to the reason why I never did this before… There have been so many band tours since this era. Total nostalgia doesn't seem to be something you tend to be artistically leaning towards, but as far as proposals go, there seems to be a chance, if you're the type that's pursuing them, then...

Honestly, if this wasn't in the city, I probably wouldn't have done it. It just adds a layer of difficulty that I probably wouldn't do. But if everyone can fly out, we can rehearse here and the show is local, that makes a big difference. And I have a lot of projects going on and there are a lot of things to do, so it's not an urgent matter. But I think playing a shorter scene for the festival is different from a story that goes on a tour or performs a full show.

Because I honestly don't think there are too many Tuesday songs that are really great. Or I would say it differently: There are a few songs that I think are really stupid, so it's nice to have a smaller suit where you can curate the songs you're most proud of.

It's a good question: You probably won't go back to listen to a lot of old albums, so now that they're back in your mind, what's your opinion about the catalog until Tuesday?

I think my point now is…a lot is very experimental for me because I just wander around trying to write songs and see what comes out. I don't think the lyrics are very good. But that's what happens when you're just starting out and young - you do your best.

I yes The band was impressed with greatness. I think Robert and Joey of the guitarist and keyboardist are great. Especially for guitarist Robert Holmes, I think I don't know enough about the music to realize that he is a great player. I mean meeting him, he knows every note. I'm changing some keys like "maybe we should put it halfway down" or "let's take a step down," just looking around trying to find a way to sing in a way I don't sing anymore. And he didn't blink. He is a very great musician. It's funny, for example, oh, we do sound very funny (tight)...

Honestly, I'm the weakest connection. My voice is super high, a little weird, a little chunky, and honestly…I was surprised that we had a record deal. But, in an era, we are at some point in a wave of sounds, I think we have done well for a while.

Interestingly, it sounds like you are saying you have to learn some lessons about singing. As you said, you can adjust the key.

Yes, I think I just learned to write for my voice in a comfortable way. At that time, I just wrote, like, “This is the melody… Wow!” It’s like, “Go.” I don’t think I could ever think of me as I could change the key. For me, a song, once I write it, that's the key. That's the chord; they will never change. I don't know if it's just a lack of musical talent or if I haven't really thought about it.

The Cruel World Festival sounds like it is your only show right now. Would you consider someone else, or would you promise it is a once-for-all thing?

I'll see what's going on. If I feel like I can do well, I will consider other people…because you want to feel like you are doing well. So some of these have not been determined in rehearsals yet, maybe I can do something around. But I think that singing is so high on the first record, I think: I don't understand how that person did it. It's like you want to sing karaoke and say, "Oh, how does this work?" There are only a few songs that are harder than other songs. I did a lot of very low verses and really jumped to the choir and I really regretted the choices.

Until summer, you'll have a real tour in June, which you'll bill as "The Journey of 22 1/2" by "Lost in Space" (her fourth album, released in 2002). You choose to really get into the nose on the good, round numbers on the anniversary...

Yes, we want to reissue vinyl. Obviously, we're really slowing down. But it's a really nice package with detailed liner notes and more artwork from Seth, I'm just my favorite cartoonist.

And the trip was named after "Lost Space", which means you will pay special attention to the record?

Oh, I want to play the record. I think (in setList) there are a few songs because they actually start with the same chord and the same key, so I'm going to juggle a few things, but more or less start in the same order.

What else keeps you busy?

I'm writing a graphic memoir, which is a project that will take several years, so it's a thing, it takes up a lot of time and focus. I'm developing a musical based on my record "Forgotten Arm" and so, here and there a bunch of projects…I'm working on songs for new records.

The prospects for graphic memoirs are interesting. Obviously, you have a love or gift for it, and you have put comics on social media for a while.

I should go back. I've been doing rough drawings for the whole thing while writing this book, which is really time consuming and I don't think I have enough steam to keep it. But now we have decided: let's get the script, we won't worry about the drawings yet. So, I have more bandwidth comics now.

Memoirs of any kind are ambitious, let alone attribute art to all of this.

It's very difficult. It's also difficult to dig in your life. It's not always super fun. But that's the essence of memoirs.

We look forward to meeting you in a cruel world…seeing the final achievement of the Key.

Oh my god, I know. Good luck to me.
