Mariella's got another secret !!

Ok so as you may have guessed this is ANOTHER post about Kate Nash !! The first one -----> Mariella Has a Secret -----> was about Kate in general, this one is about the impact going to see her in Whelans this week had on me !!!!!! :D She really was amazing :D

A fan picture from the gig with the dress :D

So first a little about the tour, the tour is one of the most unusual I have ever been to, named the Faster Pussycats ! Run Run 2012, it is not really in support of any current album but is instead to test out a new genre and style that Kate has been working on. I discussed in my blog --->  Serious blog 2: A dangerous weapon :( ---> Kate's sudden change in appearance but I didn't mention her change in music. Kate, in my opinion, is no longer our little pop indie queen but is now a punk rock princess who has, as some unimaginative critic said, "commit career suicide".

It seem impossible to me that a singer/songwriter can commit "career suicide" by singing and writing songs !! Perhaps if she said her fans were stupid, it would have been career suicide, perhaps if she had become an investment banker, it would have been career suicide, but writing music under another style is not career suicide. Its brave.

Another big impact the beautiful Ms Nash had on me was she made me feel so FREE :D Kate between each song would share so much of her thoughts. She made me particularly proud to be gay as she spoke about the LGBT community. She's also such an amazing spokes-woman for anyone who needs a voice in society, and her feminist views are AMAZING, as she talked about her all girl band and how she should not be questioned on having one at the gig.


My 5 highlights from the gig are:

1. The fact she came on stage in a wedding dress as a tribute to her cousin, I think, who is getting married soon. Honestly people, have you ever been to a gig where the artist came on stage in a vintage wedding dress ??? Anyone ???

2. The bras, THE BRAS !! It was hilarious to watch Kate being buried under a pile of fans bras as the flew at her from all directions. Also..... THE CHEEK OF THEM TO ASK FOR THEIR BRAS BACK !!!!!! :O

That dress again !

3. The fact that she was so outspoken about gay rights, women's rights and general human rights. She could be the next Gandhi !!!! :P PS. I wanna join her gang !!!!! :D

4. Lullaby for an insomniac. I really hope this song is on her next album because it really was so beautiful that I have to listen to it again. Also the fact it took FOREVER to get us all to shut up so she could perform it accapella was pretty funny !!!! :P

5. HER !!!

So after this ... passionate post I assume you will all run out to buy tickets for the next time she's in Dublin (or your local area) because she is just AMAZING.



And one last thing ..... THANK YOU KATE :D You rock ! :)
