oh, also.. Katie Noonan, now going solo, but this is from the band she was in with her brother, Ty (who's got a voice much like Jeff Buckley, himself) called "George".. from a few years back now, but amazing voice nonetheless.
oh, and it's an old blues song she's doing here, but she had a lot more fame from her part in the (now dissolved) band "Machine Gun Fellatio"... Infamous band here for there on-stage antics (such as her doing cartwheels naked across the stage at festivals).
Despite all that 'extra' stuff she puts into a show distracting from it, she has an incredible set of pipes.
Very similar to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, I guess.. Lots of energy on stage, they're a heap of fun (singer "Patience" is originally from the US, so no Aussie accents in this one, sorry folks.. though oddly she does talk with an Aussie accent..)
also:
Not sure I'm a fan of her as a blonde, or that getup... but it's a fun example of the energy they put out live.. she pretty much never stops.
I'm not hearing anything even vaguely resembling Janis Joplin in there. Joplin was raw.
She reminds me more of Anastasia. Heavy on the yelling and too much vibrato. No doubt she's got a strong voice there, but the style is really not to my taste. Quite the opposite.
If you want a 'Joplin' kinda voice, check out the Abbe May vid I posted previously, though there's a lot more distortion in there than you'd ever hear Janis use
