Well I have to admit that Sunday's Females On Fire 'in Boston' show was really lovely. We celebrated, once again, the release of the 2nd Females on Fire compilation, and this time at All Asia Cafe in Cambridge (Boston) MA. The venue is more a beer swelling spot, with an interesting Asian menu and sticky walls from many a head banging music crowd, but we took it over with our femme fatale feisty acoustic songs for 3 hours on this rainy Sunday afternoon in Boston.
We decided to perform "in the round" so to speak so as to keep the afternoon flowing and not loose our customers,.. who were shaky to say the least,.. but riveted till the end thank god.
Those on the bill were the saucy HOLLY LIGHT (all the way from New Jersey but really Los Angeles now); MAEVE HUGHES(our eloquent guest who wasn't feeling so good but she chowed down some noodles and gave us some jazz delights); Eleanore Altman from Montreal who is so cool on the piano, she reminds me of Joni Mitchell on speed (thanks for bringing "the" fan base); KRISTY COOTE, a guest from Sydney Australia who has an infectious effervescent 'bop' to her, and "moi" the one and only moon child .. and boy did i enjoy the broccoli tofu delight as well. Our darling Fran Gray got caught at a different Mass Ave in Boston and probably thought we all boycotted her but really.... it does exist Fran! All Asia is a 'real' venue ;) This aint no twilight zone.
ANYway,... the CD is in full force and you can check it out and the artists at http://www.femalesonfire.com. There's nothing better than a good slice of feminine life through 35 artists on one disc and 32 on the other. Wow. Pretty amazing if I do say so myself.

Don’t you love these days…they are our chocolate days…Of course we love Chocolate Days, and we love Kristy Coote enough to give her two tracks on the compilation. She also performs a wonderfully raw song Calling All You Wanted Angels. Because he is Australian country roots music, it would be sinful not to cast Paul Kelly with the opening track. The gentle strums of an old acoustic guitar leads into the singers 2002 hit The Gift That Keeps on Giving. - The Dwarf
