I'm seeing her play tonight.

Looking forward to it.

Fucking short show.

Like 35 minutes.

The support was mental. Born Gold. Gas altogether.

I saw her last week here in Mexico
Apparently all her gear was lost/mislaid in transit so she was using borrowed equipment

...is there anything worse than a performer constantly announcing how shit their show sounds and apologising for it, jyst do your best and get on with it please. Be a trooper etc.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

She kept apologising for how short the show was.

In fairness, she looks like she's still a kid.

She's some brow.

Monterrey

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

Ah, I was looking for someone to show me around Mexico City

I agree with Dara above that when it works, it's terrific.

She has a beautiful way with her voice. Like something I'd expect to hear in Blade Runner, if that's not too stupid.

At the show she sometimes relied too much on twiddles and knobs. Ending too many songs by playing the previous verse backwards. Too much gilding the lilly for me.
But like I say, when it worked it was beautiful.

I don't know anyone there at the moment.
All I know about Mexico City is the old terminal at the airport - which is a mile long and your connecting flight is always at the other end :-(

Is it wrong that I totally fancy her?

Well, she's not an actual child, just very young.

She looked about 19. I have no idea what age she is.

I really liked this when I listened to it there this morning, so thanks again.

She's 24
