Electro-pop solo artist Victoria Christina Hesketh aka, Little Boots is coming to Seattle. You may not have heard of her, she's a UK artist who's embarking on a North American tour. I keep hearing it promoted on the radio and in the Stranger. I know I've heard the name before, and perhaps heard a remix or two on the Hype machine so I look her up. Really poppy, maybe a bit much for my usual tastes but I do like pop music, and it's been pretty origianl as far as pop music goes. Next step, Youtube for some live performance action. I like it, she uses this cool Japanese technology called, a Tenori (??) and uses it in a performance she did on Jools Holland performance gives a live demo of it. I just used a similar application on her site and it's super rad. I just made this, and you can play on it too:
So I go to her website to check out what'd be on her album, and in my professional opinion, it's pretty much garbage. It's terribly produced, REAL bad. They're these pop ballads that aren't at all catchy or appealing. I'm so confused because her live performance is pretty legit; her voice sounds good and the technology/instrument use is fun to watch. She plays at Neumos on Saturday the 6th for $15. Unless I can go for free, I won't be going, but please, if you do go, or really like Little Boots, sell us on her! Someone needs to...
Her website doesn't work so I won't post, listen if you want to her 'space, but just watch the video, it's better.
Here's the performance of the same song on Jools Holland:
