Han stirs up the donewaiting.com stew with a review of a Los Angeles Pretty Girls Make Graves concert:
In the midst of all this madness is lead singer Andrea Zollo, another brilliant frontwoman in a time of brilliant frontwomen. With bangs that fall over her eyes, she looks a bit like a pre-shrunk Karen O, with even some of the same microphone poses and mannerisms. The main difference is that where O situates her persona as larger than life, Zollo strives to connect with her audience on a more human level. With heavy eye contact and audience interaction, she’s insistent on making the concert as much of a communal experience as possible. Personal material like “The Getaway” and “Sad Girls Por Vida” resonate with genuine honesty and “This is Our Emergency” is performed with a sincerity that makes it difficult not to answer her call to arms.
