May 29 : "Thessaloniki". - Kleenex Girl Wonder (New York)

On Wednesday I went to Pianos after work and heard for the first time New York band "Kleenex Girl Wonder". These guys have been around for a number of years and have developed a good balance between roughness and smoothness in the music that they did in their show. They're a three-piece that showed non-stop energy from the moment they got on the stage.

Their Bandcamp page shows 17 releases, which is a yuge discography. In going through their collection, one of the songs that caught my attention by its unique instrumentals was "Thessaloniki". It's the ninth track on their 2015 album, "Getting Started". :::

Kleenex Girl Wonder doesn't have any shows lined up in our area in the near future, but here is a click to their Facebook page where you can follow them more closely. Kleenex Girl Wonder on Facebook (CLICK HERE)

May 02 : Breanna Barbara (Ridgewood NY)

Also recently heard at Berlin was Breanna Barbara. I liked her vocals along with her whole band.

Am still writing short posts. :( While my computer did go into the shop and it did not receive a hopeful diagnosis, I've been looking at possible new computers and hope to make a purchase within a week. Then I'll be able to get back to my own regular music listening and postings. I'm happy that the library is there as a backup for emergencies, but they do have time constraints on computer use.

Breanna Barbara has a couple shows coming up in the next couple weeks. Check out her Soundcloud page for dates and times as well as quite a good sampling of her music! Breanna Barbara on Soundcloud (CLICK HERE)
