The soundtrack that started it all for them:
Here's the lyrics to their hit song: "Free"
Omnipresent phrase in my mind
Spoken word I've said one million times
Who are you to tell me it'll always be
this way I close my eyes and I turn around
And leave it all behind So free for the moment
Lost somewhere between the earth and the sky
So free for the moment Lost because I wanna be
lost Don't try to find me Always try to breeze
through my life Repetitious things I've done one
million times Who are you to tell me that I'll
always be this way I close my eyes and I turn
around And leave it all behind What could I do
It's not such a terrible thing What would you do
It's not such a terrible thing So free for the moment
Lost somewhere between the earth and the sky
So free for the moment Lost because I wanna be lost
So free for the moment Lost somewhere between the
earth and the sky So free for the moment
Lost because I wanna be lost Don't try to find me
(repeat chorus)

This month's feature is:...
You may have recognized this group from the hit soundtrack of Empire Records.
The soundtrack consultants where looking for fresh sounding hip music and
obviously they got some of it from The Martinis! From the good bass lines
with inspiring lyrics and with the lead singers voice sounding similar to
Dolores of The Cranberries: it was only destined that their song "Free" off
the soundtrack would become a hit! This along with the musical backround
behind The Martinis started their career....
The Martinis are rumored to have formed in early 1994. Although their
lead bass guitarist, Joey Santiago, was not new in the music bizz. He
formaly was in the very popular Rock band of the '80's and early '90's'
The Pixies! Joey and (I think) his wife Linda Malleria-Santiago (the lead
singer) formed the band together. The sudden success of their song "Free"
from the Empire Soundtrack sparked fans and critics. It topped Alternative
charts in 1995! The Martinis as an unsigned band were able to rise their
status some by getting on a soundtrack with bigger time Alternative groups
such as: The Gin Blossoms, The Cranberries, Better Than Ezra, Toad the Wet
Sprocket, and Evan Dando (from The Lemonheads)! There is not much stuff out
there on The Martinis, but that doesn't matter we all know they're a great
band going somewhere someday!
