Katie Lessley is da Bomb

That's me and my friend Katie. We like to play in the sandbox at the park, eat pudding, and watch old episodes of 321 Contact. Just kidding. But we do hang out. Or I tag along when Katie does something exciting, anyway. I am pretty sure that playing with Katie Lessley was my first "shared" gig here in Austin. We would take over Genuine Joe's for the night and have a jamboree. Sometimes Katie would go first, sometimes I would go first, sometimes we'd have a fight in the corner over who would go first which would always end up in broken cardboard coffee cups and spilled Torani coconut syrup. Then we'd always accuse each other of dividing up the tips unevenly and we'd threaten to "take it out back" which meant moving to the other side of the room. We only did that for dramatic effect to win fans, of course. Actually, we never did that, but it might be kinda cool to try. Note that, Katie: Fake a fistfight for added gig drama. Anyway, Katie not only has a fine sense of humor and fabulous hummus making skills, but she also has a set of pipes that will knock you over and then stand you on your feet again. It's pure, it's soulful, it's just plain Katie. Listen to Katie sing in all her fabulousness on her Myspace page! Also, we'll be sharing the stage together again (it's been a while) THIS FRIDAY at It's A Grind on Parmer Lane. See the Calendar for specs.
