by barraticus on 2011-05-31El Mocambo - TorontoAnna played to a packed El Mo this past Friday. Late start at midnight following the openers - the energetic and entertaining Cuckoo Chaos. It did give me time to discover that Jim Beam and ginger is my new favourite drink. Anna started with her slow burn of an instrumental and her mastery of the guitar was quickly apparent. Segued into a sexy groove and sung/teased out her song. Next up "Blackout" which kicked the energy level up considerably and the energy just grew from there. Kudo's to her drummer and multiinstrumental accompaniest, both of whom were excellent. Was it cabaret, the epitome of "cool" guitar sound, poetry and seduction? A bit of all to be honest. A singularly talented and unique performer.
