Kate Nash Live @ First Ave. 5/5/10

Kate Nash still put on yet again another solid show despite her sprained ankle. This was the first show she didn't have to use crutches and stood most of the show. Thats impressive my friend. Personally I love the happy catchy pop melodies mixed with guitar and piano, unfortunately Kate still likes to lash out trying to blend a punk side to her. Don't get me wrong I would want to rock out to if I was a musician but her heavy experiemental like tunes just give me a headache. The majority of the show was great though, playing most of the tracks off her recentley released album "My Best Friend Is You". Kate is also still dating the lead singer of the Cribs Ryan Jarman, which will always keep her into music. Let's just hope she stays away from a punk album.

The first video below was from her last show at First Ave. exactly 2 years ago. The second video is my favorite track off her new record on the Album Chart Show in England.

Kate Nash @ First Ave. 5/3/08

The lovely Kate Nash soared into Minneapolis with her birds, band, and big smile.  Her first full American tour in support of her debut album "Made of Bricks", has been quite the success.  With 6 new songs on her set, plus a couple of covers. I give Kate two thumbs up.

Kate Nash Coming to Minneapolis May 3rd!!!!

As part of NME Awards Tour Kate Nash will be making her first visit to the great state of 10,000 lakes. Kate Nash has been the biggest female artist in the U.K. without question. But with Laura Marling quickly rising and a gal named Duffy having the number one single currently on the U.K. charts, fierce competition is quickly coming for Nash. Kate Nash is also dating one of the Cribs brothers for those of you that are fans. Kate Nash released her first full length album a few months ago called "Made of Bricks" and is already at First Ave. That is impressive.
