Tonight's Recommended Show: Nicole Atkins and the Sea (in Boston)
Submitted by imaginary dana on April 16, 2007.THIS JUST IN: Nicole Atkins & the Sea just had to cancel their Boston show tonight because of bad weather. From the band: "We'll be back there next week on monday with bells on so please come on out then." Bummer!!
I blame Global Warming.
********************
New York-based chanteuse Nicole Atkins and her band, the Sea, has captured the heart (and ears) of TIG Boston-correspondent Betsy Boston, and also amazed me when I had the chance to catch her play at SXSW this year. Perhaps you haven't heard of Nicole yet... but that's surely going to change in the next few months, after she releases her full-length debut on Columbia this summer.
Our strongest imaginary advice is to catch her before the teeming masses catch on, and you imaginary readers in Boston, Phiilly, and DC have a grand opportunity to do that this week, as Nicole Atkins & the Sea are midway through a three-week residency in each of the cities. Here's the full schedule:
Boston April Residency at the Paradise
- Monday, 4/16
- Monday, 4/23
Philadelphia April Residency at the Fire
- Tuesday, 4/17
- Tuesday, 4/24
Washington DC April Residency at the Red & Black
- Wednesday, 4/18
- Wednesday, 4/25
Read all about Betsy Boston's experience at the first night of the Boston residency last Monday, when she saw and interviewed Nicole Atkins and the Sea...
Note to Nicole: if you'd like to take on a Seattle residence, come talk to us!
Note to Seattle readers: wouldn't a residency night in Seattle be cool? What do you all think?

Oh bummer!! I will update the main post too so peeps don't show up.
Crazy weather you guys are having. Is it true that people from the Northeast hate it when the media calls your storms "Nor'easters"?

Nah, we call em Nor'easters too. But we do hate it when you call Boston "Beantown" — that's pretty much a sure indicator of a non-native.
Feel free to call us Massholes. I mean we are. And we're proud of it. You should come drive with us sometime.

Oh lordy no. And I second the great dislike of "Beantown". (Shudder).

Oh no! I just heard that tonight's Boston show is cancelled. This came from Nicole:
hey everyone-
we regret to inform you that we have cancelled our boston gig due to the horrible weather. neptune is underwater, how ironic.
anyways, we'll be back there next week on monday with bells on so please come on out then.

nic & the sea
Dang it all to hell. Betsy will, however, enjoy the unexpected and rare free time to write some more record reviews for you.
