Starting early was the
two piece called Shell Shag, full of energy and chaotic rhythms they put on an interesting
and exciting show, especially with their one piece band kit (see images online
for more). Next was Laura Stevenson a much calmer performer as she introduced
herself but no less powerful, as the first song made people stop in their tracks.
The echoes of love and pain were delivered beautifully in her own unique style.
You could feel these songs were personal to this individual, as she sang and
played guitar you could not help but get lost on her poetry.
From one strong
vocalist to the next as Kimya Dawson hit the stage to a rapturous applause. From
the Mouldy Peaches to sea chastise, children rhymes to political poetry, Kimya
covered it all in this delightful set. Being a fan of the Juno soundtrack for over
ten since its release, I was pleased to meet the other half of the Mouldy
Peaches, Kimya. Kimya D and Adam Green, aka the Mouldy peaches were pinnacle in
setting the movie its innocent and honest tone. It has and always will be a
favourite of mine so I was excited when I heard the amazing vocals of Kimya pay
tribute to that part of her career. Track after track was delivered in her own
beautiful way with confidence and passion.
Lastly, the night was
closed by fellow punk stars AJJ, whom earlier this year sold out a big venue in
the city. Tonight is no different with the atmosphere hopping and crowd growing
as the guys hit the stage. Their set contains only highs in my opinion, as they
become masters of their own sound, certainly ones to keep track of when they
hit Madison again.
