Born at the end of disco and the middle of rock n roll, when this one began to cry, god said “Jesus, she’s got lungs.” Her music is like this: combine the dramatic presence of Freddie Mercury, melodic sweetness of Buckley, range and power of Ann Wilson, smoky sarcasm of Tom Waits, and the ornate imagination of Michel Gondry and you’re getting close. Sounds good, we know. We call it vocally-driven-cinemelodic rock (for short).
I just did a double take as I was listening to Elvis Costello's new album, Momofuku. He has a song entiled 'Flutter and Wow'. Sounds nothing like your 'Wow', but I thought that was interesting.

April Smith does rule the school, but if you're around, The Misery Loves will be destroying the Loop Lounge tomorrow, May 2nd @ 10:30. I think even the Queen of the Scene will vouch for us:)!! www. thelooplounge. com
