Alex Winston, Warm Ghost, Dirty Gold & Two Lights played Mercury Lounge (pics & a video)

April 6, 2011

“”If I don’t see y’all clapping, I’m going to go down there and make you clap!” Thus spoke Alex Winston singing “Medicine,” her final song at Mercury Lounge. Despite the tune’s infectious nature, there were, in fact, some people not clapping in the audience, and Miss Winston did not approve. Following up on her threat, she jumped into the crowd to sing, instantly upping the energy level even as her show was winding down. It’s this type of “devil may care, just have a good time” attitude that personifies Winston’s live show. Blazing through a short-but-sweet, 40-minute set, she jumped around, did a rock power slide, played a song almost entirely by herself and generally made sure that, if anything, people would remember her having fun on stage.” [CMJ]

Alex Winston headlined the show at Mercury Lounge last night (4/5). Dirty Gold, Two Lights and Warm Ghost were also on the bill. A set of pictures, and a video from the show, below…
