Re-Cap of Little Boots and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

In brief: Little Boots' show last Friday (February 6) at Studio B was fabulous; Clap Your Hands Say Yeah's show last night at BAM was not. The former show was over before I knew it and left me wanting more, while I actually walked out on last night's show before it was over.

Victoria Hesketh, the leading woman for Little Boots, is a phenomenal electro-pop singer who charms the audience with her melodic, clever vocals and engaging, magnetic presence. I couldn't say the same about Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.

As reviewer August Brown of said of a past performance of hers in L.A., "The two-piece drums-and-electronics setup provided more than enough thwack and mood, and Boots is even better in front of adoring throngs than she is before her home webcam -- goofy, commanding and just as in love with her songs as we were." (from http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2009/02/live-review-lit.html)

Here are some pictures and videos from Little Boots' performance:

Little Boots and More

I am not tiring of my blog; rather, I am tiring of winter in NYC... ah, the doldrums.

Well, this weekend will hopefully clear some of the cobwebs, as I am heading up to Studio B (up in the wilds of Greenpoint) to see Little Boots, a quirky electro-pop outfit from the UK that I discovered through the CMJ festival this fall.

Check out the Studio B calendar for event and ticket info. Show is Friday, February 6; doors are at 10 pm! Also, check out Little Boots' Myspace page. Yay Little Boots!
