OMG! Kate Nash is coming to Portland!

I realize I’m one of about three straight men over the age of twenty that is going to find this news exciting. And, to make matters worse, this show is happening at the Wonder Ballroom, meaning I’ll be corralled over on the twenty-one and up side of the venue with roughly ten other people, nine of which will be supportive parents bored out of their minds.

If you’re not familiar with Ms. Nash, she’s a perfect blend of the foul-mouthed, snark-tastic Lily Allen and the piano-playing, quasi-adult-contemporary master Regina Spektor.

In the off-chance that last sentence didn’t leave you vomiting in your mouth, please watch the video below for the pop perfection that is “Foundations”. I’ll admit that Kate’s album, Made of Bricks, is a little hit or miss, and seemed to be thrown together hastily in the wake of the success of “Foundations”. It doesn’t matter though: I’m still squealing like a teen-girl on the inside right now.

Kate Nash plays the Wonder Ballroom on Sunday, May 11th!
