Lorraine Leckie's CD Release Show at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2, Wednesday, September 29th, 2010 @ 8PM September 29, 2010

Lorraine Leckie will be performing at Rockwood Music Hall Stage 2 on Wednesday, September 29th, at 8PM. This show will be her New York City CD Release show for her upcoming album, Martini Eyes, which will be released on September 28th. Whether giving concise instructions to the new man of the house on the subtleties on how to behave at a funeral for the old man of the house (“Don't Giggle at the Corpse”) or painting a divine yet eerie portrait of her so-called life in dramatic fashion (“Trouble”), Leckie takes on a folksy Dust Bowl groove that would frighten Edgar Allen Poe or perhaps Nick Cave. Still, she is ever more captivating—tangling the listener in all of her fables with an uncompromising allure that is consistent throughout. "Crazy girls are easy to love/By morning you've had enough…" croons Leckie in the provocative, cabaret-like “Red Light” which gushes with a patented waltz beat that is as seductive as its suggestive title. In “Listen To The Girl,” Leckie is back to her old ways, commanding the listener to follow her endearing advice. Her mournful melody oozes John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band and her weepy harmonica lines evoke sepia images of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. "Find yourself, even if it hurts. Find yourself," she warns.

Leckie's songs are comprised of sardonic, erotic, cinematic, theatrical, and sultry elements. With her uber addictive melodies intertwined with rickety vocals and a gorgeously quirky tone, Leckie unleashes an aural burlesque with evocative lyrics that are the milieu to poignant tales that only she can tell. Through her songs, she tangles the listener in all of her fables with a consistent, uncompromising allure.
