I had been kicking myself for missing Chew Lips at SXSW this year. So when I saw they were coming back to the US for one show before embarking on a European tour for the summer, I wasn’t about to miss it. They were playing Littlefield in Brooklyn, which I thought was strange. Nothing against Littlefield. I think that venue actually is making a name for itself for being open less than a year. But for Chew Lips, being big in Europe and a little hype at SXSW doesn’t necessarily translate to the U.S. ….yet. I met up with the band right before they went on. Tigs, the lead singer, introduced herself and was into doing some quick portraits. Emphasis on quick. But they were great. Tigs had fun with camera and gave me alot to work with in the 3 minutes I had with them. After that they walked out onstage and I got see and hear what all the hype was about. Tigs can sing. I mean she sounds like the record live. Absolutely beautiful voice. And she completely commands the stage. Granted I am a sucker for the electro pop scene coming out of England right now with Little Boots, La Roux and Marina and the Diamonds. Pretty girls who can really really sing get me every time. But Chew Lips are the real deal I just hope America agrees.
