Sixpence
Went and saw Sixpence, None The Richer at 32 Bleu last night. Went with Jaime, Michael and Bobby. The club was packed, it was smoke filled, people drinking and body-to-body. I stood for 3 hours or so, which killed my knee... and I'd do it again in a minute. Sixpence was great. Leigh Nash has such a cool and distinctive voice. And the rest of the band was great as well. If I had to describe Leigh Nash's stage presence, it would be a mix of Stevie Nicks (in the early days) and Emily Terbush. :-) OK... that was weird... but if you know Emily, and you saw Leigh, you'd get it immediately.

Sometimes you listen to a CD and you wonder if the band will pull it off live. And then you hear what sound like background vocals, and wonder "How are they going to do that?". Live they were great! She has an incredible voice, and can do some very cool stuff with it. I was very impressed! And they seemed so blown away by the crowd. They've been "away" for so long, wasn't sure the people would remember, be interested. This was their second night on a month long US/Canada tour, and she said that the crowd's response meant more than we could know.

They thanked us so much for showing up. All I have to say back is... "Thank you.... Thank you very much" for coming and playing.
