Cate Le Bon

I was supposed to see Cate Le Bon last month but a combination of a severe case of the hives, a hefty dose of sleep-inducing Benadryl, and a long delay in the arrival of the band …


CATE LE BON

with Mega Bog

at Cedar Cultural Center

Tuesday, 05/10/16, 7pm ($15)

After a brief tour in the UK with experimental collective Banana, Welsh singer/songwriter Cate Le Bon will be headlining the US in support of her latest release Crab Day, available now on Drag City Records.



We previously saw Le Bon in 2014 and wrote, “Despite her recent move to Los Angeles injecting some lightness into her music, her Welsh background seems to always belie a certain dourness to the songs and a perceived aloofness on stage; not that it’s a bad thing. Her deep throated vocals can move from a siren’s angelic lilt to a more chaotic, sometimes banshee wail in a moment, in a style that is all her own.”



Seattle’s Mega Bog to open.
