Got A Girl Crush On: tUnE-yArDs (aka Merril Garbus)

After crushing hard on her debut album since &drea sent it to me–I had the pleasure of witnessing musical greatness this past Friday at her (sold out) show at the Bell House in Brooklyn. The best way I can possibly relate Merril’s live performance is that she is the female version of Paul Simon (circa Graceland), only with an electric ukulele, a loop pedal, and drums. The entire performance left me spell-bound. Her presence on stage had the entire crowd rapt. Seriously, uh-mazing!

If you get a chance to see her, GO! (she is now going on tour with Xiu Xiu)
