Ah the beautiful Ms Tunstall - evidence as to why all Scots should marry Asians. I love this photo - she just looks stunning, and with that near-zen like expression she seems larger then life. But don't let her fool you, she's very very funny in real life. And really short.. uh, I mean cute. ;)

She's also amazingly talented. I saw her play at Waterloo records during this years South by Southwest festival, and was fortunate enough to be in the front row, giving me a first hand look at how she recreates her records using her feet, her guitars and various looping pedals. Like Howie Day, or Final Fantasy, KT plays or sings a part, loops it, then begins playing another part on top it - creating her own little mini-choirs, pounding drum beats and layered guitar pieces.

Fun, lively songs, created with true hard uh.. pop sensibilities. She's huge in the UK - if you've never heard KT you should check her out - MySpace - Official Site.

Unfortunately I couldn't get Soundboard at this show - but my mic'd recording came out pretty damn well. She even played a couple of new songs - one fairly amusing take on her new found riches (I titled it Joke Song below) and the rocking Dirty Water. Enjoy.
