Caribou, Nite Jewel and Emeralds at the Henry Fonda Music Box, 10/8/10

Emeralds

The swagger with which
They developed their opus
Made that climax fierce.

Nite Jewel

The intricacy
Of each song is belied by
Relatable grooves

Caribou

A calculated

Spiral of sound springing loose

In celebration.

Nite Jewel with Teen Inc. and Heart-Shaped Rock at the Troubadour, 9/02/10

Heart-Shaped Rock

Goth Cyndi Lauper
Fronting Depeche Mode during
R.E.M.'s nineties

Teen Inc.

Surreality.
Their creation seems other-
Worldly, brilliant.

Nite Jewel

The crystal clean of
Song craft fought its way through the
Muddied old sound board.

Ramona (Nite Jewel) and Stellar Om Source at The Show Cave, 4/10/2010

Ramona (Nite Jewel)

Surprisingly and
Delightfully Enya-esque,
but with fangs, of course.

Stellar Om Source

Lots of "Look what my
Machines can do!" Less "Look what
I can do with them!"

Nite Jewel at the Detroit Bar, 6/15/09

Showed the rest of those

Yahoos what was what, beats wise

and got me dancin'
