Varr,

I'm at work and can't check the youtube video - what type of music is she doing? Portland, OR is closeby and well worth the visit if she's worthwhile.

I'm always up for good music in the area.

There are no real ways to describe her. Other's have said like Bjork.. but that is totally unfair, because while her voice has a sort of ethereal quality sometimes, it's still melodic. She has some substance to her voice at times and the range can be quite inventive.

That said, sometimes she seems off her nut just like Bjork and the opinions may just more stem from that...

I think it would all be down to whether you are going with a mate or with a girl. If you are going with a mate go see Dave in whatever band he's playing in (he might just take your girl anyways if you bring her). If you are going with your girl... definitely go see Natasha.

The wife will be at a few of these shows depending on her ability to fly in the next months. She will definitely be at the Toronto, Canada show on the 28th.

edit: Probably the best ad for her I can personally give is that quite often her music is what is playing in my house.
