Little Annie with Paul Wallfisch and the 88s- Mo Pitkin's House of Satisfaction $10
From her days as the teenage punk rock singer for Little Annie and the Asexuals to her prolific years in England as an On-U Sounds dub diva to her collaborations with Coil, Nurse with Wound and other projects, right up to her solo material of the present, Little Annie has remained one of the more compelling voices in music for more than a quarter century. In one way or another, she’s collaborated with quite a few more impressive figures that I’ve neglected to mention including Lee “Scratch” Perry, Crass, Kid Congo Powers, Wolfgang Press, Paul Oakenfold, Current 93, Bim Sherman, Gary Clail, and, what the heck, even Andy Warhol. For the last few years she’s been doing a cabaret style singer/pianist act that’s highly personal - sad, beautiful, and funny. While her show is peppered with amazing anecdotes, it never falls into shtick – her songs, personality, and voice remain central. And what a voice… it’s still in top form. Tonight also celebrates the release of her new Durtro/Jnana solo LP (which came out last week). Entitled Songs from the Coalmine Canary, it is co-produced by Antony of Antony and The Johnsons and Joe Buedenholzer of Backworld. Her accompanist of late is none other than Paul Wallfisch of Congo Norvell, Firewater,and Botanica fame. Once again, highly recommended.
