I caught them with Foreign Born and Rogue Wave last night. Only heard the album once, thought it was alright. The show was incredible, though.

The drummer looks like she's banging on pots and pans, not playing a full drum kit. The guitarist is the perfect straight man for the group. And the singer is nuts. She makes Karen O look restrained.

She flails and spins and jumps and kicks the entire set. Every song, all song, singing while doing so with vocals still coming out sounding as good as the record. I don't know where she gets the energy/stamina from.

I'm hoping to find pictures but she's tall, rail thin, and she was wearing a blue Olive Oyl-style dress with lime green tights. Quite the sight. She also has a tendency to make a fin behind her head with her hand and bark.


Suffice to say, Rogue Wave seemed kind of dull following that.

She's not very tall, standing next to me, she was maybe an inch taller. 5'5" - 5'6" mayyyybe.

Did she use her little twirly baton?

I guess she looked tall because of her dress and tights. And yaw, she had her pink ribbon that she was twirling around during one song. I wish I had brought my camera.

Do you remember her something like this? Taken at Club NME night at Spaceland this past Wednesday.

Her wearing something like that? Kind of.

Her tights were bright lime green and the dress was blue with a white sash or stripe around the middle. I'm looking for photos online but not finding any yet.

No, you goof! I was referring to her stage energy. I took that photo when I saw them recently. If you want, I can post a colour photo.

Ahhh.

Well, your post was missing a word so I guessed. Yeah, that's more or less her constant state. Although often she'll be higher off the ground and more twisted.
