KIBBITZ ROOM 12/10/04
I played my first real gig here in L.A. Friday night at the Kibbitz Room on Fairfax Ave. in West Hollywood.
This is a pretty famous place, a place where aspiring rockers hang out to meet and mingle with other aspiring rockers. The drinks are cheap and there is never a cover. Each night you can go down there, get wasted, and listen to some surprisingly good music. This is the bar where the Wallflowers, among others, got their start.
So, I was booked for the 9:30 slot with a whole hour to play my original music. The bar was not terribly crowded when my set started, but gradually filled up by the time I was finished playing. Eric, the bar manager and sound guy told me that I looked, "smashing, as usual."
The crowd seemed really receptive to my performance, and I rocked out to my "angry love music." I have gotten the reputation here as the girl who plays the "angst-driven rock." And from what I understand, this is a new sound out here which is a good thing for me because it makes my music fresh and unique. Jonny-Z played lead guitar and sang back-up vocals on four songs and the musical chemistry between us was definitely felt by the audience. Beth video-taped the show as usual, and anyone who would like a copy of the show should let me know. I ended my set with a cover of U2's "Love is Blindness," and hopefully, left the audience wanting more. I am supposed to be booking some more gigs in January and by that time hope to also be playing with a drummer and bass player. Rock out, gotta love the Kibbitz Room...

Hey Congrats. Is good to know that your music is considered fresh and new. Keep on plugging, rather strumming away at it.
