music (tuesday)

daru oda, via her myspace page...

i want to go to a bar and listen to a little live music.

i haven't heard live music at all this year--not one show! i was on a nice little tear last year (the feelies, sondre lerche, lani hall, shelby lynne, sondre lerche, she and him, sondre lerche) and had to pass on a couple of good ones this year (m ward at the apollo, maude maggart). i feel the need to get back.

i will be heading down to the rockwood music hall tomorrow night to check out daru oda's set is at 11pm. i heard her perform a few years ago with her pals, norah jones and sasha dobson ("the sloppy joannes"). she played bass and sang mostly backup/harmony (and did so beautifully. you can hear her singing lead, though, on hawaiian love song. bad video quality, but you get the gist). to be honest, i'm not loving the solo tracks that i've heard on her myspace page, but i am hopeful things get kick-ier at the hall. the dred scott trio goes on at midnite, and if i'm also feeling kicky, i may stay for that.

if you're similarly in the mood tomorrow night, or another, here's a link to the rockwood site.
and if you have better ideas, please do send them along.
