I went to see Lisa Mitchell with a couple of friends last night at the Enmore. I really love her music, she has a great voice, writes really good songs and it as cute as hell. However, last night she kind of let me down. The sound in the theatre was really bad and muffled, you couldn't really hear the words she was saying, also she sounded really tired and perhaps a bit bored of the songs she was singing (she's being touring with Wonder since 2008 if I'm not mistaken). She said she was nervous because of the large crowd, which probably didn't help. The best songs were Neopolitan Dreams, which the audience carried by singing along with the "bada dadadadada" bit and Oh Hark, which I saw from a distance (I walked out to the bar to get water at that time and watched the rest from the back). I still really love her music, but next time I'll go see her a couple of months after her new album release. Also her outfit was really strange, but never mind that.
The support bands were very VERY good! Georgia Fair were simple and nice, everyone sang along to the song on the flavored milk ad. And Baby Blues sounded amazing too, but the girls in front of me were taking "love-o's" at that point of time and getting really excited about everything, so I didn't really hear, however, I youtubed them and listened to it again, and it is still good. Boy & Bear were great, I didn't know who they were when I went (because I live under a rock) but they sounded familiar, and their sound was really good, i'm going to buy their album when I see it, they were just excellent.
Nina! I agree - Lisa was a disappointment! (I just wrote a similar post on the matter) and the outfit! Good god, what was the girl thinking? It made her look like a fugly librarian/child care teacher. And not in a good way. Loved boy and bear - was worth going just to watch them.
