It's hard being a new fan of
Kendra's! I heard "The Only Stars are in Your Eyes" on the local
public-supported (read: good) radio station here in Seattle, and have been
trying to find her stuff ever since. I recently saw her (only) solo album on
Amazon, but there seems to be a dearth of both info and material about
Kendra. If anyone here ever speaks to her (I saw that her brother posted a
message here...) let her know that her music is still reaching new souls, and
we want more! |

Comments: |
Great site here...I
actually came across it quite a while back but forgot about it and had to search
quite a bit before I found it again. Excellent discography and scans! First
heard Kendra on her solo album, then went backwards, Dream Syndicate and Opal
and Guild of Temporal Adventurers. I've got her to thank for introducing me
to Richard and Mimi Fariña Right now am listening to Early
Recordings....divine stuff. The video for Empty Box Blues is over at
launch.yahoo.com, just saw it a few days ago and was reminded of what a
wonderful thing Ms. Smith's voice is.....anyway all the best from Singapore. |

Harriet Brown was the
pseudonym used by Greta Garbo at various times when travelling incognito...or
so I heard. And yes we hope Kendra will record again. There is something so
unique about her songs and voice. The Early Recordings with Opal are so
natural and yet... |

Love your Site!!! I engineered
/ mixed / played guitar on Kendra's "Five Ways of Disappearing" and
was just surfing around when I discovered your website. Kendra would dig it
I'm sure. I have some very unique candid photos of Kendra in the studio
during the recording, mixing & mastering of the album which you might
like to post. Send me a reply & let me know if you're interested. Best

I was just listening to Rainy
Day and came in the other room to see if she was anywhere on the Web. I can
probably say that of all the zillions of record and things I've listened to
in 35 years of doing little but that, her version of "Flying on the
Ground" on that record is simply my favorite song. That's it. |

Hi Kendra, I was friends
with you and the rest of the Suspects back in the Davis days. I played
keyboards in a new wave band from Sacramento called Permanent Wave, then The
Mumbles. I understand you might live not too far from here--it would be fun
to hear from you. I have no idea whether you log in here or even have a
computer (last I heard you didn't have any electricity where you live), but
if you do, drop me a line. Dane |

Talk about a blast from
the past... I remember having the hots for her back in the days when we were both
in Davis. I used to work the stage crew at the Coffee House and other venues.
My roomate, Peter Wadhams, knew Kendra pretty well and I would bump into her
here and there. We never got to talking much, she seemed to be a very busy
person, but I remember finding her very attractive in those days. Those were
strange times. It is odd to run into someone on the net with whom I was
acquainted so long ago. I wonder what she's like at 40. I hope life's been
good to her. |

Forgot to add. For the
best interview with Kendra see Andrea Juno's book "Angry Women in
Rock" (vol.1) ... A.J. was co-editor of the REsearch book series and
went on to publish her own JUNO books; don't know how many different titles. This
interview is one of the longest, most complete, most recent and with
collaboration with Kendra, making it more accurate and less speculative than
other interviews. (Interview dates around 1995?) |

I can vouch that Kendra is
alive and well and seems to have found the fountain of youth. Don't know if
she will record for public consumption any time soon... at present she is
obsessed with Persian classical music and music from Central Asia and is
devoting herself to learning this amazing brain expanding music which
requires immense amounts of memorization and concentration -- to the extent
that she refuses to listen to anything else. Those of you who saw her at
Terrastock saw the beginning of this "obsession" when she brought
on stage the instrument made by her friend "uberman" which closely
resembles the persian "tar" in sound and set up. Thank you for this
website -- she so rarely interfaces with those who love her music -- I think
it means something for her to see that her "fans" have such depth
of insight and caring. PS :Kurt Davis you werre on the right track looking up
"maggot" in the dictionary ... it's older meaning does apply to the
song on 5 Ways of Disappearing. |

It's been a while since
I've been back and it was great to see some more articles posted since my
last visit. I guess I just wanted to say that time passing doesnt diminish my
appreciation of Kendra's music, quite the contrary actually. It's nice to see
her brother, friends and musicians that have played with her visit here
too...maybe they can let her know we're waiting to hear anything that becomes
available. |

syndicate and Opal stuff but I can't find Five Ways of Disappearing on any
web stores (CDNOW, CDPOINT etc.) or at any of my cool independent local CD
stores in Pittsburgh. It must be out of print. Any suggestions? I'd like to
buy it but I'll resort to mp3s. |

Thanks for loving KS
enough to create and maintain a webpage!! I thought i was the only one! Anyone
ever hear the "Rainy Day" album released by Rough Trade US? It's
never mentioned in discussions about KS or Opal. Do I have the only copy in
the world? Anyhow, Where the hell is she? 5 ways of disappearing? seems like
the one she chose was quite effective? My greatest regret was staying home
the night that Opal played in DC at the old 9:30. Thanks for this forum!! |

First of all- yes, the
Dutch review of 'Guild of Temporary Adventurers' (great bandname) is
favourable, although it's more of an interview- too bad Kendra wants to stay on
her farm! Wouldn't mind to see her live with a small band, performing Earth
Same Breath or puttin' the boots into Bold Marauder! Keep up the work, buddy,
don't let Kendra disappear altogether! |

"maggot", also in an old book i picked up in a thrift store in morristown
tenn. compiled by a minor philosopher named elbert hubbard there was an
excerpt of a poem by robert louis stevenson that was "under a wide and
starry sky, dig my grave and let me lie"...etc. i guess you know the
