Its been a long time between drinks and Johnette Napolitano with Aussies. She is better known for her profound vocals in the band Concrete Blonde and tonight we're given a stellar performance of a mixture of her own stuff as well as Concrete Blondes.
An acoustic start ruptures with the song Amazing and many punters keep talking around me, so it was a few moves till positioned without having to hear someone's annoying banter. About three songs in we are joined with drummer which gets the place pumping. Johnette has strong stage presence and one feels that if she didn't get her way there would be hell to pay- at one point she pointed out someone recording and commented how she would shove it up their arse if they continued but did follow that statement up with 'I'm just kidding'.
Dancing around stage one minute, dedicating a song to her late father another minute and being a diva the next, I can safely say its a great gig to witness. A cover of Midnight Oil's Beds Are Burning was aptly done and I cannot stress enough of how wonderful her live vocals are.
Songs of Concrete Blonde that she sung are Mexican Moon, Bloodletting (The Vampire Song), Joey and ending the night on Tomorrow Wendy - an acoutic moment. Other songs include The Scientist from her latest cd and Souvenir from her Pretty and Twisted cd (thanks anon).
