Anna Nalick played in front of a packed house last night as part of her residency at Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles, CA.
Though it’s been a while since her last official release, she’s been keeping busy by writing new music. She’s currently working on an album with producer Nathan Chapman (who has also produced Taylor Swift) that’s set to be released this year.
Throughout the night she played several new songs such as “Words”, “The Lullaby Singer” and “Break Me Open.”
In between songs, she read some excerpts from her journal and chatted up the crowd, keeping them engaged throughout the entire night. Halfway into her set, she sat at piano for a few songs and admitted she was still getting used to using the pedals while playing. Knowing her pianist was just off stage, she jokingly admitted feeling a little pressured.
Closing the show with her breakout hit, “Breathe (2 AM)”, Anna proved throughout the night that she’s a singer/songwriter who still has a bright future ahead of her.
Anna Nalick’s residency at Hotel Cafe ends in two weeks, with her final show on Wednesday, March 2nd.

Battling illness, Esthero played an abbreviated set at last night’s 2 Year Creepshow Anniversary held at Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles, CA.
Sitting in a chair in the center of the stage, she kicked things off singing an a capella version of “Superheroes” and then graciously made her way off stage before the host of the show stopped her.
Despite not wanting to sing too much for fear her vocals would be off, the crowd persuaded her to come back on stage for one more song. She sang a flawless version of “Gone” backed by Ely Rise on piano.

 Tina Dico made her return to Los Angeles Wednesday night, playing at the historic Troubadour. Although most fans have grown accustomed to Tina performing accompanied only by Helgi Jonsson, this time around she was also backed by a drummer and bass player – the first time she’s played in Los Angeles with a full band.
The hour and a half set included new songs from her new double album, Welcome Back Colour, as well as old favorites such as “Stains”, “Sacre Coeur” (the trombone arrangement takes an already great song to another level), “Count to Ten” and “Home,” her phenomenal collaboration with Zero 7.
Tina Dico finishes the North American leg of her tour tonight in San Diego, CA and will be touring Europe for the rest of February through March. Visit http://tinadico.com/tour for a complete list of tour dates.
Welcome Back Colour, is currently in stores. It’s a collection of 13 new acoustic recordings of old favorites as well as five new songs.

Sleigh Bells played their first Los Angeles headlining show last night to a sold out crowd at the El Rey Theatre. The concert had everything those familiar with the group would expect – screaming, dowsing fans with water and stage diving – all courtesy of lead singer Alexis Krauss.
Things kicked off with the curtains opening to reveal a stage that had nothing but two microphones and a 2×4 stack of amplifiers lit up by red lights. Guitarist Derek Miller walked on stage moments later and had the crowd’s full attention with the first guitar riff.
The duo kept the energy and volume control at 11 for the entire night, running through their catalog of songs without much chit chat in between. Only momentarily did they take a break from the frenetic pace with the mellowed out “Rill Rill”.
With only one album worth of material, the set was only 30 minutes and left fans wanting more, screaming for an encore that was not to happen. Nonetheless, the crowd got what they came for – loud guitars, booming beats and piercing vocals.
Sleigh Bells continues their headlining tour with stops in Salt Lake City, Denver and Minneapolis in the coming days.
