Kate Nash
with Peggy
Sue
Review
by Art Rusche
What another great FSB
performance!!
 I first
heard of Kate Nash on shows like the Friday night
showcase on MOJO TV "London Live!" and "Later,
with Jools Holland" shown on Palladia, previously MHD
the High Def Music Network.
She had a number 2 hit in the UK called "Foundations"
which was followed by a platinum selling UK number 1
album
Made of Bricks. She was named Best Female Artist at the
2008 BRIT Awards. Her second studio album, entitled
My Best Friend Is You was released in May 2010, and spawned
her second biggest chart hit to date "Do-Wah-Doo"
and my favorite "Paris". She
came on the scene right after Lily Allen who is
also an English singer/songwriter with a Cockney accent.
Kate was on my TICKETMASTER alert system and I saw she
was coming for her second US Tour. I talked FSB Ed into
meeting me at The Green Room an hour before opening. As
usual our Green Room tokens allowed us first access and
FIRST ACCESS WE GOT --- FRONT STAGE BABY!!!

We
had our choice of where to lean on the fence and
actually had plenty of time to make another bathroom
stop and Ed went to get water bottles. A few minutes
later the general public came in and in moments we
were surrounded by mostly screaming girls. AARP
represent!!! The front fence was perfect for
leaning against (like a walker :)) and to store our
water bottles on. The Showbox at the Market
has become my favorite venue!!
As
the first act opened Ed turned to me and said "Look
to your left and right, there isn't another man on
the front line let alone anyone over 25! Oh well....
AARP represent!!! Rock On!!
Peggy
Sue, a trio from Brighton England opened for Kate
Nash. They have toured previously with Kate and just
released their debut album Fossils and Other
Phantoms April 2010. Rosa and Katy played a
variety of instruments for a unique indie-folk sound.
Kate
Nash started around 9:15. She came out in a Black
and White outfit a little like something Lady Gaga
would wear (but not close:). Her piano was covered
with little balls and light bulbs. She rotated
playing guitar and piano during her whole set. She belted out songs like
"Paris" and then slow
poems like "I Like Seagulls". She performed
right in front of us when on guitar
