Why KT Rocks


On Monday night, Marni and I went to the Wiltern for KT Tunstall's LA show and we had a blast! It's not the first time we've seen KT live but it was the biggest production we've seen starring the Brit pop artist. We last saw her at a Tower Records, before she had made it in the States, where it was just her and her echo box (which was freakin' awesome!) performing songs off of her first album. This go-round, we got to hear some of the old stuff and some of the new goodies, too. And she's still as rockin' as ever. Here are just a few reasons why KT rocks.....

1. She wears glow-in-the-dark Ghostbusters tees.
2. Her signature boots. I want them.
3. Her witty and entertaining banter. There were brief diatribes on plastic surgery, jazzercise, and the Salvation army. Plus, when someone in the audience yelled, "Take off your shirt!" There was no time for breath before she responded, "Why? I love this shirt."
4. She dances as she plays.
5. Her sound, obviously.
6. She's got the power to be, the power to give, the power to see. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
7. And, in non-concert-related awesomeness, her album notes for Drastic Fantastic are in comic form.
