The Ting Tings - Hot as they Come right now
BragginBilly here again. For those who took some time to peruse my old blog, you already know that I think rock n' roll cello is pretty cool. So imagine my surprise when I was checking out the lineup for this week's sold out Ting Tings Show (Thursday, 6/19) at Great Scott.
OPENING ACT: Apart from John Cale of The Velvet Underground, I knew exactly zero other viola, not to be confused with violin, players. Anni Rossi officially makes two and also makes a hell of a good reason to get there early for a very cool performance.

I don't know a ton about Rossi, other than that she's from Chicago, she's "possibly" 22 and she's a one-woman band. She does a mix of strumming and plucking with some cool rhythmic foot stomping. From the variety of YouTube videos of Anni, she is a quirky and entertaining performer. Check out her videos on youtube.
If you dig Regina Spektor you will certainly dig Anni Rossi...other people add Joanna Newsom, but personally I don't hear it.

She met The Ting Tings in Manchester (UK) when she was in residency. As a result they offered her the support slot on this current N. USA + Canada tour.
Anni is a friend of our radio show (The Waiting Room, ErrorFM) & we put a gig on for her a few years back in Cardiff, UK that introduced her to the Too Pure record label.
