God she’s good. She really just has the touch. I don’t think I’ve seen her play that white Fender Strat before. Beautiful guitar with a bright but still melancholy sound.
I like that she’s not a show-off; Grace cares about the music and what would make a good sound, not merely playing the most difficult possible thing. And just think: she’s only 18. She is only going to get better.
(Also, I love her zip cord coat.)
That’s amazing. That she preserves the harmony and the spirit of the piece while playing it on guitar is so impressive (it was written for piano).
They make it feel like the 90s again. Horsegirl is like the best of Stereolab and thatdog combined.
It’s too bad Remmi never got more popular. This is musically interesting, fun, funny and incisive.
I’d never seen that before. What an amazing performance. All live, no backing track, no echo on the mic, singing parts most people wouldn’t attempt even if they managed it in the studio once.
And damn, Prince could write a song. I just wish they’d used a mic better suited to her big voice. That one is crap.
That’s a hell of an arrangement. I like the rock-like attack in the middle, and how she varies the tempo a lot. Helps it work better on piano which is obviously more limited than the typical passel of instruments that canon usually finds itself performed on.
In a lot of it she’s playing the piano like you would a harpsichord and the piece works all the better for it.
(And yes, she’s doing all of that deliberately.)
Wow, they tear it up! They’re all so great musically.
Grace’s (the band leader and warrior princess-haired lead guitarist) style reminds me a lot of Samantha Fish, but more formal. That’s not a bad thing at all. There’s just a little classical influence there, like Eddie Van Halen had, but in a different genre. She’s amazing. Glad I found her.
That’s a really cool old Gibson SG Grace has. Must’ve cost a pretty penny. I think those usually sell in good condition for around $20K.
Esta banda está buenísima. ¡Merecen mucho más hype!
Someone has been listening to a lot of Stevie Wonder! Super fun.
If you’re gonna steal, steal from the very best. Love this one.
Un par de canciones de Joaquina me gustan un montón. Este video también está bien chido.
Je dirais qu’elle est une sacrée bonne piaf.
Intelligent weirdos are very much my jam, so I really like this.
I sent my friend in the UK this video because I said part of the song reminded me of her.
Mostly this part:
I comе in like a cannonball
I’ve been that way my whole life
For romantic partners I’m far more compatible with quiet introverts but for friends I definitely lean more to the extroverted “loud girl” side. Not sure why. My UK friend said people often have trouble dealing with her because she’s always full on. And she is. But she’s so completely herself and so very funny. She’s one of the few people who has made me laugh so hard I had trouble breathing by saying something hilarious and unexpected.
She liked the song and said she’d listened to it “dozens of times so far.”
I did not realize till today that this song had a video. I like Katie’s wild hair in the vid; I actually prefer short hair, unlike most men, but if you have long hair the warrior princess look is pretty awesome.
She’s such an amazing songwriter.
Wow, they are good live! A lot better than I expected.
