Super rough/raw footage here, but I think it still manages to showcase how much Erika M Anderson rocks!!!

Her previous project Gowns produced my soundtrack to early 2010 with Red State (thanks to Vince for the tip back then), especially the song Cherylee, a portion of which’s lyrics went into the last Fugue.

I was lucky enough to see EMA perform a couple of weeks back when they passed through Montreal at Quai des Brumes. It was, without a doubt, the second best show I’ve seen all year (the Godspeed shows still win out). Powerful, heart-wrenching stuff. Much to my delight, she even performed a solo version of Cherylee as an encore.
