Burlington VT quartet Julia Caesar has two female guitarists, female bass, and a young man on drums. They play original rock and seem to have a queer following. Good songs that dabble in some spacey jamminess.
Elizabeth and the Catapult played at Bar years ago. A trio with guitar, drums, and Elizabeth Niman on vocals/keys and acoustic guitar was the group. NYC native Elizabeth has collaborated with Gillian Welch, Bens Folds, and Richard Swift (The Shins) as well as composing for videos and documentaries. She reminded me of Laura Nyro, both sound and looks. Gorgeous, full singing voice was the highlight of most tunes. Industry experience and years of live dates makes for a confident stage presence. On this evening, a crew of 4 or 5 pro-looking tango dancers shook and sashayed in front of the stage. Elizabeth rolled with this odd crowd dimension, and embraced sharing the visual with the dancers.
