Fresh off of being another casualty in a growing number of artists being dropped from majors, Sierra Swan probably won't have to wait long before someone smart comes along and notices this fine performer. I believe I once saw her at Largo open for somebody but I can't recall much of it for some reason. Still, she has a voice that somewhat reminds me of Holly McNarland and Abby Travis, throaty and powerful yet with a type of control and ease only found in a born performer. She plays again this Sunday at the Dragonfly with a full band. I advise you to be there.
Chromosome Tea is pretty good pop/punk in the vein of Letters To Cleo, The Muffs and when lead singer Michelle Waters and guitarist Ai Ball double the vocal, The Go-Go's. Didn't catch any of the song names but apparently they're being played on Indie 103.1 (who isn't?) so you might hear them there. Or check them out at the M Bar on July 3rd. By the way, don't mind that their website is using that old Tripod music template from like 1999. As blasphemous as it is, I would offer to do their website for them for free if I wasn't already backloaded 22 websites -- I finish 3 this week.
