Last Night (In Boulder): Kate Nash at The Fox Theater

Thanks to BJ for covering the Kate Nash show in Colorado last night. Here goes:

I ended up covering the Kate Nash NME Tour last night in Boulder, Colorado. I was eager to see her with a full backing band this time as opposed to the acoustic set she performed at the Cedar Street Courtyard during SXSW. I don't think the venue sold out nonetheless Kate managed to wow the crowd with her unique and soothing voice. She seemed somewhat nervous and giddy as she spoke in between songs but as soon as she hit the first note of the song she seemed like a grizzled veteran up on the stage. All in all she seemed to win over quite a few fans with her no holds barred lyrics that she brought to the table. At times it seemed like the whole crowd knew every chorus to every song, not bad considering she is trying to break into the American scene.

Welcome to America Kate hope you enjoy your stay.

New Music Monday With Black Kids

2008 looks like the year for Black Kids (think Robert Smith vocals mixed with the Go! Team's cheering), a five member band from Jacksonville, Florida. They will be opening for Kate Nash on her tour through Ireland and England in February and March. They are also scheduled to play at Coachella. Hopefully they find time out of their busy schedule to play during SXSW. Their EP, Wizard of Ahhhs, is available free to download on their myspace. It only has four songs but I'm sure it's a promise of greater things to come. Did I mention they were unsigned?
