Cindy Barg:
Singer / Songwriter for Lula Sweet
Cindy Barq was born in Littlefork, Minnesota. Her
artistic sensibilities and deep love of nature were
profoundly influenced by her childhood as an adopted
Native American in a rural town of 900 near the
Canadian border. As a young girl, she swam and
fished in the cool, clear waters of
Lake Kabetogama. As an outsider in an all-white
town, she heard racist taunts. She left for Europe
in the mid 80s.
Barg began singing at a young age. An early mentor,
Norwegian "Mama Betty," encouraged her to listen to
diverse musical genres, including country, polka,
rock, gospel, and pop. Barg's first musical
influence was
Hank Williams, who wrote
Kaw-Liga, about a shy Indian who missed his
chance at love. She admires
Beck for defying the music industry's rule to
stick with a "Musical Direction."
A versatile singer, Barg has been a session vocalist
for numerous musicians and bands, including:
Ozark Henry,
Falco,
Southern Voodoo,
Waxdolls, and
Calvin Owens (B.B. King bandleader). As a
singer/songwriter, Barg has performed with various
groups, including the experimental progressive rock
band
No Mo Trevno. As
houseband at Ghent's
Cafe Charlatan, No Mo
Trevno featured Barg's vocals on
Peach Pie 13 Steppin Out,
Tonight, and
other songs. Barg was the first woman to
co-write and sing lead on a
Jupiler commercial in December 2009.
In 2010,
Barg teamed
up with songwriter and guitarist
Dominique De Vos, drummer
Kristof "Fred" Van Driessche, and bassist Karen Van
Der Veken to form
Lula Sweet. In October 2011, the
ElectroPowerPop band released the single
Wilderbliss. The band's other recordings,
Revolt,
Joyride, and
Hello Sailor can be sampled at
Lula Sweet's webpage. The band, based in Trent,
Belgium, expects to release a new single in early
2012.
Statement to AA911:
I remember very well what I was doing on September
11, 2001. My Mother had just sold her lake home
after the death of her second husband. There was a
great supply of firewood that had been seasoned and
neatly stacked for use, but the new owner claimed he
had no use for it and demanded we clear the
property.
Together with my Brother and a family friend, we set
out with heavy hearts bright and early to burn the
wood. We had the radio going in the truck and spent
the entire day in absolute shock feeding and stoking
this massive mountain of flames, all the while
listening in to the live events and reports on what
felt at the time to be the beginning of the end of
the world. I cried for weeks.
I was home helping my Mother move, but had left the
U.S. over twenty years ago, because ever since I can
remember I felt stifled by U.S. propaganda, the
country's focus on the superficial, it's
self-back-patting...and I knew as long as it were
like that I would never live there again.
I had a life in Belgium and was not able to return
to it because there were no planes for weeks. And
so, I saw the story that I had heard being reported
on the scene suddenly changed completely. I saw the
brainwashing techniques being programmed on every
television channel. The people were molded like
putty into flag-wavers screaming for blood... but I
felt the whole thing was a lie.
Those who know me are well aware 9/11 is a matter I
feel very strongly about. Alas, I have spent many,
many hours on my own looking for interviews with
witnesses, reading about the
mysterious disappearances or deaths of people
who had planned to come forward as witnesses,
listening to the
architects and engineers for 9/11, etc. I share
everything I feel gives solid reasons for people to
also question the official 9/11 story. I am
compiling a
YouTube video playlist.
The whole world is calling for a thorough,
independent investigation into the activities
leading up to, including, and since September 11,
2001 regarding what is referred to as 9/11.
