Setting the Blaze

After a night of great music and chat, I have just been totally blown away by watching New Zealand born, Melbourne based singer Kimbra cover Nina Simone’s Plain Gold Ring- this is a must-see! Also, catch her doing her thing live at syn fm. I am also incredibly excited by The Jezabels, so much so that I just booked tickets to one of the last remaining non sold-out gigs, in Gee-long, come join me! Go ladies!
