The show was absolutely amazing! The opening act wasn't that great. Angie Mattson did what Kristin Hersh and Cat Power have done before and done better. But once Uh Huh Her hit the stage, it was pure magic! Camila Grey and Leisha Hailey were gorgeous and incredibly personable on stage. I can't wait for their new album. They played most of the songs that will be released. Leisha said her favorite was "Wait Another Day." I agree, I can't wait for the album because I loved that song!
During a cigarette break, I made friends with Mark, their sound guy. He was nice enough to give me the set list after the show! Even better, Camila Grey and Leisha Hailey both signed it. When I was face to face with Leisha, I had a total blank. She asked me what the date was and I couldn't think of it to save my life. Hell, if she'd asked me my name I probably couldn't have thought of it. Both she and Camila were super sweet!
It was insane trying to get them to sign anything though. The stairwell up to meet them was packed! I actually got wedged in between bodies several times and was completely stuck. And let me tell ya, that is not a comfortable position to be in and especially not with a broken rib. Some of the girls went viscious! Yelling, screaming, insulting each other - even throwing some elbows! Look, I love Leisha Hailey, too. But for the love of all that is unholy, calm down, ladies!
Check out the tour dates and make sure you see Uh Huh Her! I promise it will be an amazing show!

I was there. The show was fantastic. I didn't think the opening act was as bad as you made it out to be. But Uh-Huh Her definitely blew her out of the water. My friend got an autograph about an hour after the show ended. By then it took about 5 minutes to get from the bottom of the stairwell to Leisha and Camila. You could've spared yourself some pain and suffering by waiting until the crowd died down I guess. But oh well. I pre-ordered the album. Looking forward to getting it.
