Ida Maria is the consummate performer; she somehow manages to hit that sweet spot of absolutely adorable and totally badass. TLC was lucky enough to catch her US debut show at Mercury Lounge on Thursday night. Having been a fan of Ida for about a year as her popularity grew in the UK, I am really happy that she's getting the buzz and hype over here in the States that she deserves.
She tore through her 7 song set with passionate delivery and built a charming rapport with the packed audience. Highlights included the crowd sing-a-long favorite, I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked, Stella, and raucous closer, Oh My God.
Check back for our upcoming interview with Ida!
Openers, Those Darlins, are gaining speed in the alt-country realm of indie rock. Although they weren't really TLC's cup of tea, there's no denying they played an engaging and confident set.
