So wow. I went to the Cafe Coda CAMMIES acoustic show partially because I like good songwriters, I love the human voice, I work at the CN&R so I need to represent, but mostly to finally see MaMuse.
I've heard about them about twice a week for a couple months now and I know they're moving their cd's well and getting some good festival gigs. One of the women in the duo started coming into Empire Coffee right after I opened it, would quietly drink tea, we had mutual friends and she would always be on her bike.
So for all these reasons, I've been really wanting to see them. Let me tell you, I was about as floored as I can get over living musicians in that vein of music. Perfect harmonies, excellent lyrics, catchy sing alongs, and moments of transcendent musical beauty.
MaMuse played and sang from a depth of spirit that is truly hard to find and they will do anything they want with their music. I've seen Cat Power live and they are in that echelon with more of a Ditty Bop's sensibility.
Very impressive...check them out if you haven't already.
