Natti Vogel

Bio:

Natti Vogel started performing his original compositions in a bohemian flophouse in the West Village at the age of seventeen. After beating a wicked funk band and a kickass punk band to win the New School University's Battle of the Bands, Natti recorded his first album, "the Hello EP," whose video single "the Anorexia Song" quickly became an international cult hit. He has played shows with other theatrical eccentrics such as the Dresden Dolls, Le Tigre, Ute Lemper, Sxip Shirey and Alan Cumming, among others, at stages everywhere from MA to VA to Scotland where his show was rated "1 Must-See Show at Fringe 2008" by the Edinburgh Evening News. Now 21, Natti is called an "indie rock fusion virtuoso" by the New York Press and "playfully menacing cabaret (meets) romantic yearning" by the Onion. Natti suggests, however, that you take his cellist Valerie Kuehne's advice and "let your ears do the chewing for once." Out now is the essential 8-song "Hello EP Uncut", which can only slightly prepare you for the epic "Denial We Can Believe In" which is scheduled for release this summer, 2009.
