We interrupt the ACL previews to highlight a band playing tonight at the ACL Moody Theater. This is one of my bucket list bands I never thought I'd get to see. I'm so psyched to see this show. I started listening to them during my Goth phase I mentioned in an earlier post but they haven't toured in Texas since 1995. This is quite a treat.
They are known for Lisa Gerrard's vocal prowess and she has been quite successful on her own, doing soundtracks ("Gladiator") and multiple solo albums. I happen to like Brendan Perry's songs as much as hers, though. The lyrics are always good and there's more of a song structure. His songs and hers complement each other.
Here's one of my favorites but it's hard to choose just one. This gives a good introduction to the Lisa Gerrard side of the band. If you want to try more go to Spotify and check out "The Host of Seraphim" or "The Ubiquitous Mr. Lovegrove" for starters.
