The Teavolve open mic – always fascinating. Had a wonderful night with featured artist Robin Bingham, who, like the artist who’d introduced us and featured the week before (Danah Koch) has an absurd voice packed into a tiny body. She’s a stunning performer, though seems a little more surprised to find herself all alone on stage. Mostly known as a cover artist (and indeed, the majority of her feature set was covers) her originals combined a very modern radio approach to vocals and beats with a 90’s grunge affection to aggression, anger and angst that I found refreshing and infinitely appealing.
Oh – and then her beatboxing with Dave Benham and going into a Sublime tune? PRICELESS.
