Noisettes

I had to let you know about this new band called the Noisettes. Their April 2007 CD is called What's the Time Mr. Wolf? and it is classic rock 'n' roll. Singer and bassist Shingai Shoniwa (pictured below) is one of the best rock singers I have ever heard. Impassioned, technically brilliant, expressive, she goes from a purr to a scream in nothing flat, and hits the emotional notes with the same jujitsu she hits the pitch with. And the rest of the band is just as killer. They remind me of the early Police a little bit, if the Police had had a lot more range of styles than just the 2, and if Sting had been a better singer.
