I saw her about a couple of years ago. She did some tour dates with Royksopp, providing vocals for the songs she had recorded with them. I can't say anything either way...she wasn't bad, she wasn't mind-blowing either, she was just kind of there. When I go to a Royksopp show it's not b/c I want to hear their more mellow songs which were the ones she sang, so it wouldn't have really made a difference if it was just a recording of her singing, or actually her.

I'll be there tonight. I have the same sentiments as you in that I'm only half-sold. I'll have a better opinion tomorrow.

you're on point BV, she's pretty, kcrw-in-the-morning-while-you're-working-at-your-boring-office-job obsessively reading muuuusic blogs, but in concert? I say...save all your cash for the real thing (bjork).

yeah i'm not stoked about her at all. like an unimaginative bjork rip-off. i'm sure she'd be great for some kinda background vocal thing but nothing beyond that.

I ended up inadvertently seeing Kate twice at SXSW -- once cause she was early on the Amy Winehouse bill at Eternal, and once on the Fratellis bill at the Filter party. She's like Bjork meets Norah Jones -- tres adult contemporary and not exciting. Then I home to Seattle and she played here last night... and now here she is on Brooklyn Vegan. I think she's stalking me.

She was almost as boring as the Fratellis.

I saw her play 2 weeks ago at Mo Pitkins in NYC. She was great, but didn't play for too long. I wrote a review here -> http://cemusic.blogspot.com/2007/03/kate-havnevik-entices-at-mo-pitkins.html
I wanted to see her again tonight at Joe's Pub, but it's sold out. Oh well, next time around.

Oh, also, she doesn't have one song on Grey's Anatomy - she has 7.

If you'd like to decide for yourself, I have one short clip up on YouTube from her Paste / Militia Group SXSW set on Saturday.

Me, I'm a sucker for this stuff.

I shot some closer-in stuff at the Filter party that I'll eventually get around to posting.

When someone sounds that much like bjork its just a total turnoff from the get go. Id rather listen to bjork anyways!!

I saw her tonight at Joe's Pub. Her voice is beautiful and only "New Day" sounds like Bjork. All her other music is very different. I think she sounded great, but she has a very awkward stage presence so she can work on that.

I absolutely adore Kate. I think her music does have a tint of similarity to Bjork, who i also love, but when you see her live it is amazing. She is a total sweetheart and you can tell that she loves doing what she does.

I love Kate Havnevik.
