Noisettes are fronted by the supremely talented and beautiful Shingai

(pronounced Shing-eee) Shoniwa, a vocalist and instrumentalist who sings like Billie Holiday on PCP while patrolling the stage like an Amazonian Warrior with an eye for fashion. Shingai howls and soothes, giving you goosebumps and shoots soul into your main arteries. Dan Smith, the second line of defense, wields his six stringed axe around the stage while bringing up the rear is Jamie Morrison, a drummer so heavy with his sticks and skin that you won't notice he is more hair than man. Their music is schizophrenically contradictive. One minute rough, raw

and explosively dramatic, the next, detached, calm and serene.
