“‘Three Moods of the…’ is the first release from the Noisettes, a three piece from southeast London. Noisettes are fronted by Shingai Shoniwa, a vocalist and instrumentalist who sings like Billy Holiday on PCP while patrolling the stage like an Amazonian Warrior.” [says SXSW who has an MP3]

Noisettes @ Mercury Lounge

After Land of Talk left the stage, Mercury Lounge quickly filled up for the Noisettes show Friday night (March 24, 2006). It was more packed even than it was later for Mystery Jets who took the stage after them. The Noisettes were engergetic and fun, but ultimately didn’t do anything for me. There’s some songs at their Myspace.

At least three of the Arctic Monkeys were in attendance – it was their night off before the Webster Hall show.
