PINK NASTY @ Pete’s Candy Store, Brooklyn – 4/18/07

Pink Nasty is the female constituent of the Die Nasty federation including Black Nasty and the Kevins from Wichita by way of Austin. Unlike her brother/counterpart Black Nasty, Pink has got some real talent for the singer/songwriter genre and has been backed by the likes of Will Oldham and Britt Daniel. While she has written songs with BN and has sung backup on some of his songs, her solo career is really starting to take off. When Black raps, he focuses on the often hilarious and occasionally hard to stomach stories of utter depravity (listen to Real Animal Lover). Pink, on the other hand, has a much softer side and a real knack for making simply good songs all around. Check her out in Brooklyn this week.

RIYL: Lucinda Williams, Cat Power, Throwing Muses, Palace, Iron & Wine
