I was really glad I was able to catch this show since Plain Jane isn't coming to Boston on this tour, and I love seeing them live. When it turned out they were playing in NYC the same weekend that I was already in the area, I decided to stay an extra night for the show. Fontana's is an interesting venue - its tiny, first of all, and second of all, the music room is downstairs, so its almost like being in someone's basement. PJA wasn't playing until 11, so Lisa and I got there around 10:30, right in the middle of the opener's set.
Liat was really interesting - very folksy and bluesy, and sang a great medley of the Cranberries'
Zombie and
Dreams, along with her own original music. From what I heard, I liked a lot. She finished and Plain Jane got ready to take the stage.
