I'm still in awe of last night's Exit Dome concert at WEXT. Seeing and hearing Maryleigh and the Fauves made me gasp. (I spent all day listening to the album over and over again.) The way she sings and how she sings it and the way her band plays...it was like seeing superstars in a shiny New York City venue. Can't wait to see them again. Music here and photos here!
