Live Review by Andrew Lock

Prita — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 11:07:07 +0000

Headline set time and Prita hailing from Australia gave us a dynamic, full of originality performance covering several genres effectively incorporating live loops (so all of the music produced on the night) which added numerous layers of extra vocals and guitar to some numbers, not used all the time and for some songs we just simply had Prita’s gorgeous voice and guitar work flowing over us..
Standout numbers in a set of real quality included the laid back ‘Mellow’, the haunting rhythmic sounds of the emotional ‘Jungandi Wardu’ (really moving and obviously about a subject very close to Prita’s heart) and making fantastic use of the live loops the funky ‘I Got the Fire’.
Of the many different influences to her work the one that stood out for me was Tracy Chapman especially during the powerful ‘My Home’ her take on the refugee/boat people issues in Australia and the fact that apart from the Aborigines everyone in the country arrived on a boat or plane.
One of the most original pieces of stage craft I have witnessed at a show occurred during this set when Prita invited a member of the audience onto the stage and asked him to say any words he liked into the live loop machine (sure it has a more technical term!) and she would then incorporate the repeating recorded words into a song, she did this twice so we had spontaneous performances on the subjects of “When a man loves a woman” and “Science revision”.
What a cracking set to end a fantastic evening of live music I can honestly say I enjoyed every number, a night of such variety of sounds and genres with top musicianship all round, the whole night a complete success and proving what we all know live music is best (if you disagree I am afraid you are wrong).

Spring in London

Prita — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 00:03:26 +0000

After a few days back here in the UK I am enjoying some great spring weather and good company! Although I do miss home (Berlin) and the creative city vibe and my lovely fun friends there!! I played the first date of my ‘northern hemisphere spring tour’ at the GreenNote in Camden. It was a lovely intimate gig and the Canadian Band ‘Miss Quincy’ was a highlight! Grungy sexy blues rock.. And Northampton Umbrella Fair was a fun show too, completely different crowd, younger and drunker.. I had a guest on stage for a song and made up a spontaneous song about a bus..?! Anyway it was a good night and I’m looking forward to the rest of the shows! Until next time.. adios X prita
