Gavin Turek - Swan Dive, SXSW, Austin TX - March 14, 2014

[Los Angeles, CA] On my list. EVERYBODY loved her - particularly the boy in skin-tight jeans and a tank top who bum rushed the stage before she even started, and leapt throughout the entire show. Dance house –Whitney Houston, Tiffany – some disco. She’s a dance commander – shimmying in her fringes – covering the whole stage – swinging her halo of curls. Loved that the guys backing her up with bass guitar, guitar, and drum had suits and skinny ties on – reverse Robert Palmer. Although she put on a better show than practically any performer we saw, there was something a little calculated about it all – seemed she was trying to mask her actual serious, smart, professional self – but it worked. Her music isn’t something I’d ever listen to, but she was like a cool breeze during SXSW.
