Which in brit speak translates to: Kate Nash is too cool for school. She rocked the concert last night. For those who are not into indie british punk/soul, she's an awesome British import. A 20 year old songster with an attitude.
My first impression of her was quite startling actually. She is a tall, strong boned girl but holds herself humbly. I immediately noticed her thick, sinewy arms and dexterous hands- the incredible potency that comes from banging on the piano with your whole body and playing the guitar like it's an extension of yourself. Her pale face was accentuated with bright red lipstick and almost tearful eyes. She was very compelling, the mixture of young, naive girl and captivating artist. She sang beautifully and accepted the audience's praise almost bashfully. But when the girl rocked out, she lost it. It was amazing to see her whole being going crazy during the "never, never" chorus of Mariella.
Because we got there early, we were very close to the stage. I took this amateur video with my camera, so forgive the quality and the heads. It was a treat to be so close and hear so well! I love being in New York with access to these cheap, wonderful concerts (although the three hours of waiting was no fun and the other people were quite pushy) but Kate made up for all of it.
