Miss Alex White and the Red Orchestra

Judging by Miss Alex White's curly red 'fro, and tight fitting clothes, you wouldn't expect her to be the hardest rocking front(wo)man to hit the scene in years. Her live performances are dynamic and her low growling voice is enough to make lesser frontmen pass out. One newspaper asked the question, "Are the vocals a little high in the mix or is she always that overwhelming?" I think its just her.
It's very rare that garage rock makes you wanna get up and dance, but Miss Alex even brings me to my feet. The formula for the songs is simple - two guitars, bass, drums and Miss Alex growling and hollerin' and singing away. Often you're not gonna get anymore than two or three chords, but you won't miss the others.
Her Myspace page lists off Chuck Bery, The Kinks, Spaceman 3, Jesus and Mary Chain and Modern Lovers as influences. And you gotta love the funny myspace "About" sections. Her's is worth the trip to Myspace.
And I gotta admit - I'm crushin' a bit.
