Los Angeles Worships... Redcar


Heather Reid is a rock goddess. We don't use those words lightly for a goddess of rock is a title only given to a chosen few. And for anyone who has caught a glimpse of Ms. Reid on stage during her 15-year reign knows full well she has been chosen.

Since her days in the underappreciated folk pop duo The Murmurs to its transformation to the short-lived power pop group Gush, we've been enamored with the sweet-voiced, irresistibly charming Heather Reid. Even her foray into the musical theatre world was a complete hit with us. Now with her band Redcar, who celebrated the release of their debut record Can't Be Stopped at the Troubadour last night, the love has turned into complete and utter worship. Her 70's rock inspired swagger circa Heart, Jefferson Airplane, and Pat Benetar very nearly had us throwing our panties on stage and begging for naughty body parts to be autographed. Yes, we wear panties. But only for the goddesses.

Redcar performs 4/21 at the Hotel Cafe and 5/17 at the Temple Bar. New album "Can't Be Stopped" out now on Phyllis Records.
