Squeaks and skwonks can make an audience a little nervous, but in this case it was Beady Belle. She's essentially a pop singer, but more in the vein of Kate Bush right around the time she started hanging out with Peter Gabriel. She sang with a sensuous slip of phrase at The Lutheran Church of the Reformation. It got me a little unglued. The guitarist was of the multi-tonal utility man variety, a la Sonny Landreth or Kevin Breit. And though Lech certainly isn't a nun, her dress was certainly habit forming. Amen.

I glad to see that at least one of the Media Elite made it to see Beady Belle - wonderful group from Norway (look out KT if this girl ever gets on the big time radar screen!!!). Too bad it wasn't publicized that this was their American Debut performance!
