Kimya Dawson - THIS FRIDAY! (1 Viewer)

[krystal]

ha!

they're in Belfast tonight, yeah.

is she doing a belfast gig?

if she is, i hope she does that happy song that went "come on down, we're having a parade!"

kimya - closet loyalist. no wonder she had all those u.v.f. tattoos

There wasn't a hard indie veneer left in the place by the time Kimya got to about her second tune. Strand of Oaks were not only deadly, they were as lovely as Kimya! I asked them if we could keep them all, but I guess that would be selfish.

And Neosupervital gets more entertaining every time I see him. He should definitely have the Robert Palmer ladies behind him. I'd volunteer myself, but I'd need to lose about a stone and get some cheekbone implants.

Thanks to everyone who came down and helped to make it an awesome night for all of us!

This was gas crack. The pairing of Neosupervital and Kimya was inspired, and Strand of Oaks provided cool relief in between.

Up the bees!

Here's the text:

With near incessant chatter about male genitalia, streakers, and dirty old men, New York anti-folk singer Kimya Dawson tore through a 'verbal marathon' of a set at the Lower Deck on Friday night. In a far more endearingly shambolic gig that the one put on by fellow former Moldy Peach Adam Green in Whelan's just under a month ago, Dawson picked and plucked songs from her growing back catalogue and latest album 'Hidden Vagenda'before treating the attentive masses to a dodgy enore of karaoke classics, including Tina Turner's private dancer.

Dogged by demons in the microphone and guitar amp, a shy Dawson battled her way through the set before taking on the challenge of asking for requests from her back catalogue. With tracks piled either with humour or with sad tales of neglect and depresssion, a smiling and giggling Dawson struggled to perform on the latter due to the overwhelmingly jovial atmosphere throughout the gig. By the end the initially sheepish Dawson had shed her nerves and launched into an acapella karaoke set of eighites classics that melted even the strongest reservations of the most po-faced indie kids in attendance.

who were the po faced indie kids? whats a po anyway? I want names ....

 

[krystal]

I don't think there were any - the crowd was really reverential and quiet in a way I haven't encountered in a long time but no one was PO faced as such. I didn't recognise most faces either which is good, means we obviously did manage to get the word out there, beyond the world of thumped. Which was nice.

I like the EP loads, but it's pretty different to the live thing... although I got the impression that he didn't expect that much crunch of the amp but just went with it... which is kinda cool...

the free CD they gave away is good too, track 3 by the Clemintines is home-fi smashed up beach boys fuzz pop heaven, haven't been hit upside by a track like that in yonkers...

 

[lady lucan]

the clementines is the best song on that disc..

cant get the image of singing clemintines doing the backing vocals out of my head though.
check out 1.23min on speak and spell song and try telling me thats not to the tune of three blind mice.

there wasnt much talking when kimya was on..
her performance needed quiet and she got it..
apart from that one time (at band camp) when one of the three really drunk lads at the back answered his mobile 'HOWYEZ'
that was rather loud over the shy kimya's vocals and geetar.

 

[krystal]

HI VINNIE WHERE YOU AT??

You racialist!

 

[McGonagles]

You racialist!

I thought he was talking about wasps.

You know, those yellow and black fuckers that chew up dead wood, then spit it
out as paper to build a nest above your back door or under your bicycle saddle,
and sting you when you go near it.
