New Opening Act

[Crusader]

"trent reznor with tits" apparently but she's more like a talented alanis morissette with a way nicer voice. very pianoy and random electronica. not bad at all.

 

to anyone who saw her open on the 6th, was she acoustic?

[Ravenous megin-sane]

never heard of her

[BGF]

Let's get the facts right here:

 

NLX is her stage name.

 

Natasha Alexandra is the name she goes by.

 

She should be opening until the 13th - Vernon.

 

On this tour it's just her and her keyboard, and maybe her laptop is she can get it to work.

 

She sometimes also uses a kaos device, and a non-human or human drummer.

whoops, sorry about that. too many typos today

[BGF]

All is now well on the typo front ... good thing you didn't have to spell her surname!

 

And here is a bit of video of her from Junofest, which will give you all an idea what to expect.

Judging from that video, she's not all that good. At least compared to those Dala girls and especially Melissa McLelland (sp?).

I saw her in Banff last night. I was disappointed because she didn't introduce herself until the last possible second, and even then it was a sentence all folded into a single syllable. She didn't have much personality on stage, except for her continual references to Hamilton and "being fucked up by the clear mountain air."

 

I don't know if it was because she was nervous or having an off night, but I didn't care much for the performance as a whole. A couple of the songs were decent, but not as good as Dala (in my opinion), and nowhere near Melissa.

in the youtube video she plays a cover of finger 11.

She was like that in Brandon, too. I wasn't all that thrilled with her, but she has a nice voice.

[the old guy]

;) Yawn.

[Gomo]

I'd be a much better opening act.

Reckoner ... in the youtube video she does a cover of Depeche Mode's "Walking In My Shoes". Otherwise, they are original songs.
