I was flabbergasted when Jeff and I went to see her a few weeks ago. The show had been moved from a 300-seat club to a larger space once it had sold out. I estimate there was about 500 people there. Yow! It was a good show, but it was at it's best when the songs were most straightforward, rather then all the gadgetry and stuff. That seemed a touch gimmicky to me, and not always in service to the song. But Imi was totally adorable. My vote for the title role in a Mary Poppins remake. neal .

For those of you in the SF area that supported me at the Women, Bring Back the Noise Series @ my first solo show, Thursday, a big thank you! It was an amazing group of women from Berlin, London and little ol' Portland, me! Making creative friends from around the world! Thursday, producer Ninah Pixie and I and London sound artist Fari were chosen for the arts cover of the SF Chronicle! (See Below!) The huge amount of press brought out a lot of folks! The show last night consisted of sound artists from Orgonauta, the "dreamy" disc that I'm on, 3 "laptoppers" doing paste up & sound system design, as well as some amazing avant film-work. One looped her ethereal vocals and another played only found objects including rocks, sand, leaves, amazing work. Tonight's show, due to the large article in SF Weekly & SF Chronicle cover will be packed so if you are interested, come on time. 8pm. Tonight's is Shererasade, the second disc, of more vocal work & I'll be performing as part of the Big City Orchestra Women's Auxiliary. First an improv ecstatic work with 4 women singing 4 different chants, myself, Cait McWhir of Haunted by Waters, Ninah Pixie & Mellisa Margolis, BCO, harmoniums, gong & shrudy box, then a song based on the Noise Cookies (inside the first 1000 CDs, fun to play with!) just to give you an idea of the span of creativity. Hope to see you there, the space is beautiful, intimate, great acoustics.

Admittedly he's talented, just not my cuppa. Sloan's very good, but not inspiring, IMO. Now Martha, OTOH, is an entirely different matter. She doesn't have much of a body of work yet, but she blew me out of my socks the first time I heard her. I even went to the trouble to track down her Black Session. Mom and Dad, of course passed on the best of their genes.
