Nicole Atkins and the Sea opened for The Pipettes at Lee's Palace in Toronto this past Sunday. This was their third time in Toronto in recent months and the touring seems to be paying off. By the end of their set, the stage area had filled up and the band seemed to have gained quite a few fans. It was a terrific set. They won me and all of my friends over. And it didn't hurt that one of the band members is from Toronto.
Nicole Atkins' debut album, Neptune City, was released about two weeks ago. This was preceded by the EP Bleeding Diamonds in 2006. Atkins' 'sound' is best described as folk-pop, but with a dark edge to it. Expect to hear a lot more about her in the near future. At least that's my prediction.
FYI: Nicole Atkins and the Sea appeared on the Late Night Show with David Letterman around the same time as the album release date, performing the track 'The Way It Is'. You can view their performance at the band's MySpace page.
