kate vigo - sweet kiss of death (live)

[from her myspace page:
After the recent release of her new single and video clip, ‘The Way You Are’, which is making radio waves around the country, Kate Vigo is making a name for herself in the music scene. With a sound that sits astride eclectic pop and stylized 60s rock, Kate is joined by amazing ensemble musicians known as ‘The Underground Orchestra’.

The fast rising vocalist came into the limelight as highest album selling performer of the 2008 Melbourne Jazz Fringe Festival. Whilst her jazz foundations have served her well, she has now changed her sound to embody an eclectic mixture of sounds, from pop rock to subtle acoustic refrains teamed with programmed loops, intricate melodies, Kate’s trademark soulful voice and 60's girl band influence.

Kate finished a degree in fashion design before undertaking a bachelor in voice improvisation at The VCA and, while worlds apart, parallels can be found in Kate’s music and her love of fashion. Weaving together a distinct array of sounds, from Billie Holiday to Feist, by way of Prince and Aretha Franklin, Kate’s eclectic mix of influences create a foundation on which she builds her distinctive, yet accessible, compositions.

‘The Way You Are’ is the first singlefrom Kate’s upcoming album which she is working on in collaboration with Damien Charles, also producer of ‘The Red Eyes’.

In Kate’s home city of Melbourne you can catch her and the The Underground Orchestra in premier original music venues such as The Northcote Social Club, The Toff in Town, The Empress, 303 and Manchester Lane.]
