Ida Maria - more summer tour dates - Maxwell's on sale

Ida Maria @ Webster Hall (more by Chris La Putt)
Ida Maria

Ida Maria just played two NYC shows on June 12th and 14th (Bell House & Hiro Ballroom). Sasha Frere-Jones from The New Yorker was at the June 14th show at the Bell House.

Some observations on Ida (pronounced “eee-DA”) Maria’s set on Sunday night at The Bell House.

1) Ida Maria stuffed smokeless tobacco into her mouth twice during the set.
2) She confessed to drinking champagne before the show but waited until the last song, “Oh My God,” to pour water over her head.

4) The drummer played something suspiciously like a drum solo before “I Like You So Much Better When You’re Naked.” It was really good.

6) I could probably watch Ida Maria scream for about fifteen minutes before getting bored. Actual words not necessary.

She’s coming back this summer with shows scattered around the country in July and August including one taking place at Maxwell’s on Thursday, August 13th with opener Franz Nicolay. Tickets are on sale now.
