Amanda Zelina of The Coppertone meets all of my criterion for a really friggin' cool lady:
1. Great hair
2. Looks good in hats
3. Blues vocals that dig deep
4. A white and gold guitar
5. Dirty, crunchy guitar sounds you'll want to snack on
The Coppertone will play The Horseshoe Tavern Friday, June 15th as part of NXNE.
Presumably you know Claire Boucher aka Grimes by now. Music writers have struggled somewhat to define her sound. Jumping off of my previous post about the NASA sound recordings of planets and moons, I would say she sounds like an as of yet undiscovered moon of Jupiter. So basically, she sounds like outer space, and it doesn't get much cooler than that.
Melissa McLelland is 1/2 of the husband and wife music duo Whitehorse. Whitehorse is basically the soundtrack I would blast from a beat up white convertible as a barreled down a desert highway, heading for Mexico after robbing a bank. Their sound is badass.
I saw Scarlett Jane at the Dakota Tavern with the Weber Brothers a couple times and absolutely loved them. Their debut album Stranger sounds like horizon lines and highway lines. They are touring like crazy across Canada right now and you absolutely need to go see them live. Buy the album and play it on a freight hopping adventure this summer.
