pH Balance's Pam Howe is subjected to Pointless Questions

pH Balance (Pam's the one with the long hair and general va-va-va-voomishness)


You could read Splendid's review of pH Balance's self-titled debut, buy it at Insound or visit the band's pages on the Daemon Records website.

IF YOU COULD ELECT A MUSICIAN AS PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. (OR LEADER OF YOUR HOME COUNTRY), WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE?

Pam Howe: Stevie Wonder: then we'd have a SUMMER SOFT with our SIR DUKE. I WISH I could hold a RIBBON IN THE SKY for him because "did you know true love asks for nothing".

NAME A BOOK THAT MADE YOU CRY, AND TELL US WHY.

Pam Howe: House of the Spirits by Isabel Illende. Feminimity, sensual, mystical, experiencing itself over family traditions and breaking cycles courageously: crying, opening to this powerful book was a demand from my evolution!

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE FORM OF EXERCISE?

Pam Howe: Creation.

WHAT DID YOU DO FOR THE MILLENNIUM?

Pam Howe: I transformed.

IF YOU COULD ISSUE ONE ALBUM OR ONE BOOK TO EVERYONE IN THE WORLD ON THEIR THIRTEENTH BIRTHDAY, WHAT WOULD THE ALBUM/BOOK BE?

Pam Howe: The book would be Conversations With God (any of the three). This book can take the pressure off any human willing to remember.

WHERE WOULD YOU RATHER PLAY: A CLUB THAT GIVES YOU LOTS OF GREAT FREE FOOD BUT HAS HORRIBLE BATHROOMS, OR A CLUB THAT DOESN'T FEED YOU BUT HAS HOT SHOWERS AND BIG FLUFFY TOWELS?

Pam Howe: I need great free food to flow.

WHAT WAS THE WORST INVENTION OF THE 20TH CENTURY?

Pam Howe: The Television Set (which was also the best).

WHAT'S WRONG WITH KIDS TODAY ANYWAY?

Pam Howe: The Television Set.

IS A FEMALE PRESIDENT THE ANSWER TO AMERICA'S PROBLEMS?

Pam Howe: Maybe in our evolution it's time for mom to let the boys clean up their own mess. In the big picture though the answer to America's problem lies inside each one of us answering to our own individual problems.

TELL US ABOUT YOUR PETS. IF YOU HAVE NO PETS, MAKE ONE UP.

Pam Howe: I have two dogs: Pita and Honey. They are who I aspire to be.

NAME AN OBJECT YOU OWN THAT HAS LITTLE MONETARY VALUE, BUT THAT YOU WOULDN'T SELL FOR A MILLION DOLLARS.

Pam Howe: My grandmother's sewing kit -- a magic treasure trove of possibilities!

WHAT'S HARDER: PLAYING SOLO FOR AN AUDIENCE OF 1000 FOR AN HOUR, OR GIVING A 30-MINUTE SPEECH TO THE SAME AUDIENCE?

Pam Howe: They are both the same to me. My solo performances incorporate all aspects of sound and speech. I think performing for 2 people is much harder than 1000!

IF YOU COULD HAVE THE "ORIGINAL" OF ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Pam Howe: My first thought (so I'll go with that) is a Vespa -- so fun and glamorous and lots of cute mod boys (where are they?) would envy me and want to ride.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR?

Pam Howe: The day I write a song. So rewarding and fun having the mystery solved! My dream is for TODAY to always be the favorite day.

WHAT IS THE MOST FASCINATING SMELL?

Pam Howe: Vanilla. Especially in incense, it awakens past life times and takes me on journeys to far away locations (like English gardens) that I haven't experienced physically...yet...or already...

WHAT KIND OF PERSON WEARS THONG UNDERWEAR?

Pam Howe: A person with no butt issues.

Pam Howe is the pH in pH balance, whose self-titled debut was released on Daemon last spring. They're a five-piece trip-hop outfit -- jazzy, ethereal, soothing female love-vibe vocals backed by cool bass lines, live drums and percussion, plus a dude who throws down some sweet rhymes. Pam is a sorceress...
