Last night, the wonderful Kate Nash played for a sold out show at the Troubadour in West Hollywood. It was her first time in Los Angeles, and I hope she enjoyed it enough to come back quite soon! 
Kate's performance was undoubtedly spectacular. At first she seemed rather reserved, or perhaps a bit nervous, but as the show progressed, she really got into it. Kate would bounce on her piano seat and pound the keys ferociously during the dramatic parts of her songs, like Skeleton Song, Merry Happy, and Mariella. It was all quite impressive.
Mostly Kate sang and played on her keys, but pulled out an acoustic guitar for Birds, Nicest Thing, and Dickhead. It was nice to see her emerge from behind the red curtain of her piano. A showgoer complimented her on her darling shoes, and Kate agreed that she loved them too. Such a lovely Brit!
The show seemed to pass quickly, but that may be a result of several factors. First of all, I waited around for quite a many hours, and the hour-long performance may have seemed short in comparison. Secondly, the songs seemed a little more upbeat and faster than on the CD. And finally, I know I was having a brilliant time and as you already know, time flies when you're having fun.
Kate and her band, after leaving the stage following Merry Happy, came out to do an encore performance of Little Red and Pumpkin Soup. The crowd went wild as Kate ended the show with a fierce smashing of her hands against the keys for a good couple of minutes. She seemed to draw some entertainment from it.
As she waved goodbye and tossed a guitar pick out to the audience, her watch accidentally flew off of her wrist. Kate commented that she did not mean to do that and the showgoers kindly returned it to her.
Following the show as the crowd dispersed, I saw some of my former Geffen supervisors and said hello. It was nice seeing them again. I hope to keep in touch.
I also spotted the infamous Perez Hilton walking about. He met with Kate after the show and shortly thereafter posted a blog about her show.
Simply, Kate Nash is quite brilliant. Her songs are addictive. Her live performance is energizing. And her demeanor and accent are darling (just look at that reserved and satisfied smile.) Basically, her music makes me smile. Thank you, Kate Nash.
