Tue, Nov 13, in L.A., a “SHOW-of-the-WEEK” pick:
8 pm CLAIRY BROWNE & THE BANGIN’ RACKETTES, the Australian singer-songwriter and her ensemble, play The Mint, 6010 Pico Bl, L.A. 90035.
+
Doors at 7:30 pm. The singer-songwriter and her band -- an original interpretation of soul, jump blues, doo-wop, jazz and R&B with a lyrical tale to tell -- are a sensation in their native Australia. Their Aussie debut, “Baby Caught the Bus,” moves through heart wrenching doo-wop wailing to drunken pianos and tough hard-hitting soul. The record was recently named “Album of The Year” by ABC (Australian Broadcasting Co) Radio National and is drawing overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics. The album has spawned an international hit with its first single, “Love Letter,” featuring CLAIRY’s big, soulful voice, and plenty of horns. It has been hand-picked for Heineken’s award-winning campaign, “The Switch.” That clip has received over 750,000 views on YouTube. Watch it, with CLAIRY and her band bringing life to a dingy old bar, at www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZtDqpdvy7s.
+
CLAIRY BROWNE & THE BANGIN’ RACKETTES are CLAIRY BROWNE (vocals), CAMILLA (vocals), LORETTA MILLER (vocals), JULES “CRAZY LEGS” PASCOE (bass guitar), DARCY McNULTY (baritone sax), GABRIEL STRANGIO (piano), RUBY JONES (vocals), PETER BEE (guitar), and RICKY MARTYN (drums). They’re touring and currently working on additional tracks for their U.S. debut album set for release in early 2013.
+
The critics like ’em:
+
“To label the show a ‘gig’ is a huge injustice to the whole production. While the spectacle is electrifying, the spine and allure of the group is BROWNE. She’s warm, yet ballsy, with an enormous voice that can move mountains.” -- Madeleline O’Gorman, The Music (Australia).
+
“Truly wonderful, world-class soul, doo-wop, gospel and R&B, it’s been a long time since we’ve been able to say that about an Australian release.” -Dan Condon, InPress Magazine (Australia).

Tue, Nov 13, in OC (Laguna Beach):
8-11 pm JOYCE WOODSON, top award-winning western artist and fine all-around folkie, headlines the weekly “SONGWRITER'S SHOWCASE” with performing host BETH FITCHET WOOD The Marine Room Tavern, 214 Ocean Av, Laguna Beach.
No cover, no minimum.
+
Every Tuesday night, this “SONGWRITER'S SHOWCASE” includes different musical talents, each for “a short but sweet set of original songs. Some have a great deal of professional experience and some are working up to that. Beth [performing host BETH FITCHET WOOD] plays a 45 minute set first (because she can) and then there are 3 or 4 other acts who do short sets. It's a very intimate setting, and all experiment with their new stuff. The audience is of the highest quality and the performers love playing for them.” -- Joyce Woodson.
