I recognized 4 of the songs she performed and enjoyed the new ones I didn't know. She had a drummer and bassist on stage with her for the entire 50 minute set, and also had The Section Quartet join her for most of the songs as well. Beautiful arrangements and accompaniment by them. The highlight of the show was a new song called Pontchartrain that was eerie, haunting, and cinematic. I might go so far as to say it was Elfman-esque. Unfortunately, Kyler couldn't be there, nor could Terami Hirsch, both of whom were really looking forward to the show. I'm hoping that they'll be around when she comes back to L.A. in July on the day of the album release (July 25!). She'll be graduating from the Hotel Cafe to the Troubadour for this show (as Bill pointed out, it's a coheadlining one with Duncan Sheik). Oooh, and she looked quite beautiful with her hair pinned back and a cute dress on. We likes her, yes we do.

Absolutely great. My only complaint, if it can be called such, it that she sounds just like Tori Amos. I can perfectly imaging Tori singing the vocals and playing the piano exactly the same way. The style, emotions, everything, it's all Tori. Still, considering how Tori's latest release lacks some luster, this might not be a bad thing. :-) - --Doug ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 10 Jun 2006 14:29:08 +1000 From: andrew fries Subject: Re: Michelle Cross On Fri, 9 Jun 2006 14:05:03 -0500 Doug wrote: > Anyone ever heard Michelle Cross?

Yes, Michelle used to be mentioned on Ecto quite often a (good) couple of years ago... I have her EP, "My name is not Cinderella"... I tried to see what year it is from, but there's no date anywhere in sight. It is quite old though and yes - she was pretty cool though she sounded a fair bit like Tori back then, too. ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V12 #150 ***************************
