Ladyhawke @ The Avalon (10/03/09)

its a far distance from new zealand. so what does an american to do? watch the lord of the rings trilogy? i can't even get through the first one. watch jurassic park (sam neil is from new zealand)? my only copy is on vhs. watch true blood (anna paquin is from new zealand)? i don't have cable. knit a wool sweater? knitting?!? that's what the mall is for but i'm typing this late in the evening hours. i've been fortunate to have met a few new zealanders through my travels who have tried to get me to visit new zealand for some time now. obliged graciously however i've had to decline. probably far too many times the invitations have been limited to nonexistent. wah wah wah. in any event new zealand just got a little closer. Ladyhawke is a singer-songwriter with only one album on her table but from the looks of the size of the audience they can't get enough of her. to be honest my main purpose was to see ida maria for perez hilton presents. but due to unforeseen circumstance ida maria canceled. which left ladyhawke as well as semi precious weapons (who are doing very well in their own rite..opening for the sounds...you go boy! girl? definitely boy!!) and Julian Christian Perretta to their own. which was fine. the entire tour was screwed up. but it was fine i was there for the music. by the time ladyhawke was on stage it was good in the hood because i had a wonderful time. with such songs, "Paris is Buring," "My Delirium," "Another Runaway," oh who am i kidding the entire album is fantastic. it's still on my playlist called, "daily breath of fresh air" and to my surprise and those in the audience who don't subscribe to perez hilton's sms text messages/blog The Gossip was set to perform as a "surprise guest" i was surprised. i was blown away by The Gossip (Beth Ditto, lead singer of The Gossip is a fellow Razorback) from the lead singer to the drums to everything about the gossip captivated me. so much that i went to see them again at the henry fonda theater (entry will follow). in any event it was ladyhawke's show. caveat: destiny will find you even if you're not looking.

enjoy the music.
