Lady Who?

I at first wondered why a place as indie as Oxford Art Factory would be showcasing some pop princess called "Lady Gaga". My only knowledge of this "lady" was that my brothers girlfriend likes her- which usually means she's some sort of Nova 96.9 pop/rnb thing that I probably don't want to know anything more about (don't worry, Stacey knows we have very dissimilar music tastes. I still love her).

Nevertheless I felt inclined to find out a little more about this girl. What I discovered was surprisingly refreshing for the pop-electro scene. This is a girl who, as per her official bio, has been gigging in New York clubs since the age of 14.

If there's anything that garners respect for me, it's someone with the talent to write their own material, and play an instrument or two. Again according to her bio, she "who wrote all of her lyrics, all of her melodies, and played most of the synth work on her album, The Fame". Although I don't particularly love her hit song "Just Dance", maybe it's just I'm not a big fan of the genre, I'm still very interested to see her show. She has been known to "strip down to her hand-crafted hot pants and bikini top, light cans of hairspray on fire, and strike a pose" in past concerts.

Interesting...
