Disregard the name: Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head a Glistening Pleasure to listen to
July 15, 2008. Put it in the calendar. Or on the back of your hand (just don’t let it fade in the shower). Go out and buy the cd. And dance. And laugh. Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head releases their debut album Glistening Pleasure, and it is GOOD! From the first track “Me + Yr Daughter” to the short “Sophisticated Side Ponytail” they make you dance. And dance. Personal favorite track: “Beard Lust”
There will be a cd-release show at Easy Street Records on the 15th of July, so go out and support them. Or you can catch them at the Capitol Hill Block Party on 7/25 an the Vera Stage.
Agreed. I saw them Fall 2006 at a community-type neighborhood event on Phinney Ridge and they were great. Endearingly self-conscious teens with a good deal of raw talent bubbling up throughout their performance. Then I heard their name on KEXP a few months later and I knew they were going to get somewhere. I don’t know them, but I can’t help a “proud papa” feeling when I hear/hear of them. Go NPSH, Go.
