KT Tunstall - heard of her? Any fans?

[Livia]

She wears legwarmers?

KT Tunstall is a sparkling new songwriter with Chinese blood, a Scottish heart, great legwarmers and a cool name - "well, it's got a bit more attitude than Kate which just says farmer's daughter to me," she laughs. KT celebrates classic singer-songwriting in the tradition of Rikki Lee Jones, Carol King and Fleetwood Mac with an articulate, accessible, immediate brew of rootsy sass, wistful quandary and after-hours atmosphere. The latest in a line of outstanding contemporary Scottish songwriters including Texas, Fran Healy, Teenage Fanclub and The Beta Band, KT's unique perspective offers a rare emotionally connecting intensity through it's gripping lyrical bite and heartfelt melody.

I'm not really a fan, although Suddenly I See is damn catchy! I never made the Stevie connection until seeing her performance at the Brit awards, when I decided that she sounded quite like her, although I asked a few people whether they agreed and they all looked at me as if I was mad.

Glad other people can hear the similarity!

She's getting lots of airplay here - I like what I've heard so far!

I'm so glad that someone besides me knows of KT! I can't remember the movie or show that I first heard her singing on...but I immediately began pausing the credits to read the singer! I then went online right away to find out more about her...and I was soooo impressed! Here's why...take a look at her LIVE!

Thought you'd be interested to know that the Artic Monkeys will be on Saturday Night Live as their musical guest on March 11th!

Here's their performance link from KCRW:

FYI: Based on what I've seen on videos of both KT and Artic Monkeys...I'd see KT in a heartbeat over AM! But that's just me ...she's so different and if you read the reviews of AM, you'll see that everyone is saying they are alot like the other Brit bands. Don't get me wrong, I like alot of them...but some of them need to be different to really grab my attention and these guys just don't yet. I have all of KT's songs, PM me if you want to hear more...


These guys are hilarious for not favoring interviews, here's the details:

No More TV Appearances For Arctic Monkeys
They refuse future interviews...

By: Daniel Melia on 2/24/2006 12:30:02 PM

Artic Monkeys have said that will refuse to any future TV interviews because the ones they’ve done so far are “abysmal”.

The Sheffield four piece have said they will only now make live appearances with pre-recorded material being a big no-no.

According to fan site mardy-bum, drummer Matt Helders said: "The TV interviews we did were abysmal. We just don't want to do it. We don't think we should have to do that stuff just because we're in a band.”

"You can't win - either you're a knobhead for not doing stuff, or you bore people if they see your face everyday."

Front man Alex Turner added: "And then there's the politics. You can't do one TV show without doing the other.”
