Preview: Alyse Black

Alyse Black @ Can Can | 03/07 | 9pm | $5 / $10 VIP at the door

This show should be well populated in part because Alyse Black looks really hot naked. In addition to that, she is a stunning musician. Her style is sultry, smoldering, addictive. This lovely lady is a current Seattleite by way of Austin, Texas. If the seeing the word “Texas” triggers the association bad country music, fear not, Alyse Black’s sound is twang-light. Her vocals, according to this writer,  sound like a combination of Kristen Barry and Feist.

Roctober Magazine had this to say about Alyse Black:

Alyse Black lures you with a sultry whisper. She beckons you with a gripping wail. She’s elegant yet primal. Call her angelic, call her wicked, but Alyse Black embodies the red-headed siren singer-songwriter…

Alyse’ alternative-pop sophomore album, Hold Onto This, was recorded and produced by Ryan Hadlock (The Strokes, Foo Fighters, Ra Ra Riot, Blonde Redhead, The Gossip)…  Her first album, Too Much & Too Lovely won 1st place in Billboard’s Annual World Song Contest in Jazz among many other awards. In addition her US tour in 2008, Alyse performed numerous major music festivals around the States…

Black boldly channels Bjork, Billie, and Bush (Kate, not GW). Best yet, this jazzy, arty, oddball epic also sounds like Alyse Black more than any of her influences.

In the below song “Wild child,” Alyse Black shows off her friendly, audience-engaging nature. Not only does she have everything necessary to take the world by storm, but she enjoys being with the people she’s entertaining. Being able to be in such an intimate setting at Can Can with Alyse Black will be a major treat this Sunday. Be there.
