notes
Launched by Dave Mensch in 2004, Formula 151 offers a sound unique in today's contemporary music. Heavily influenced by the long heritage of singer/songwriters, as well as the cutting-edge rock bands of today, Formula 151 takes its listeners on a melodic and lyrical journey, incorporating dynamic arrangements performed by Mensch, Katherine Tischhauser (cello, electric cello), Mike Kornelson (bass), and Steve Dejka (percussion) and Ross Martin (lead guitar).
A more atypical aspect of Formula 151, setting the band apart from most other contemporary groups, is the inclusion of cellist Tischhauser. Mensch has a strong affinity for stringed instruments and the resonance, passion and depth they bring to a song, so he requested that Tischhauser, who was more readily known locally for her classical work, to join the band.
"She definitely is an attraction. People come into venues where we're playing, sometimes just to see her play. Her playing is definitely a foundation sound in the originality of Formula 151 music…not to mention her electric cello looks like something from Star Trek. I feel that Katherine's involvement in Formula 151 accents the emotions that I'm trying to portray with my lyrics. You pluck a guitar, it just doesn't have that stress or laughter that a stringed instrument does."
Yesterday's Tomorrow, a two-disc - 21 song CD set, accommodates the sister music styles performed by Formula 151, according to Mensch. "I love Friday night music, but I also love Sunday brunch music," he said of the more driving rock as opposed to mellow acoustic tunes. "So, 'Yesterday's' and 'Tomorrow'…are the names of the two CDs."
"Yesterday's," the more mellow of the two, recounts many of the struggles Mensch and Formula 151 endured to arrive at this point in time. "Tomorrow" is the more commercial, radio-friendly effort. Overall, the new CD release promises to be more highly energized than the group's first offering, Down on the Beaten Road.
Of the title track, Mensch explains, "Literally, Yesterday's Tomorrow is Today…but that is the illusion. When you base tomorrow off of yesterday you're missing out on today!"
