In Concert: Thao & Mirah @ Record Bar

By the powers of Oprah (their strong, reliable bus), Thao and Mirah showed up with an all-female ensemble ready to perform. Its one thing to have some musical capabilities and another to be a true musician.  After watching Thao and Mirah perform on stage, I can confirm that these two are in fact the real thing.  All night both ladies roamed about the stage, switching up instruments and playing techniques. Amazingly enough, they proved patty-caking as a viable source of percussion artillery.  The back and forth interchange of vocals provided them with a platform to create different moods and variability within their songs.  Even the drummer came armed with an entire palette of drum sticks with different tips to switch about through the night.  All in all, their playfulness on stage showed a willing to stretch musical boundaries and not be contained by any norm.
