Beauty Feast played their first show at the Mercury Lounge back in August. On the bill were Memory Tapes, Twin Sister, and Oberhofer. My Oberhoffer and Twin Sister photos were posted on Brooklynvegan.com.
I've really been digging this band since I heard this song back in May. Hoping their debut EP comes out sometime soon.
"Things To Do" (Partial, with stage dive by singer Kelly Zutrau)
Brighton, UK singer Alice Russell played the Hiro Ballroom Friday evening. This was her and her band's third ever NYC show and there seemed to be repeat show goers amongst the couple hundred in the crowd.
Alice is part of the recent wave of female singers in the R&B/Soul revival emanating out of the UK. No doubt she's talented and has a great voice that mixes a bit of classic with modern and a side of unique. Her stage presence was good too. Overall, I didn't feel blown away, but would say she is worth checking out on CD and a show if you get the chance.
