The Last Town Chorus @ Hi-Fi Bar, Friday 12 September

Very nice indeed; for mine, the pleasures of Wire Waltz are, while real, not particularly vivid, but live she was scintillating, ipod backing track clear but relatively muted in volume, allowing her sweet, strong voice to come through with the clear vibrato of the lap steel in overlapping waves. All too brief at only six songs (or was it five?), but including "It's Not Over" and "Modern Love", and totally worth it.

(w/ Michelle and a friend of hers, Sarjeet; having little interest in seeing the other support, Sunshine Brothers, and none in seeing the main act, Ash Grunwald, I stayed for about three songs of the former's pleasant enough but uninteresting trumpet-led reggae-dub stylings before making my getaway...life's too short.)
