Spring tour Spin picks Nicole Atkins out of the crowd With over 2000 bands descending on Austin for SXSW last week, it was hard to get a grasp on every- thing. Luckily, the folks at Spin handed out their superlative awards online. For day four, they wrote: BEST LIVE BAND: NICOLE ATKINS “On record, including her February release Mondo Amore, this New Jersey native is a mostly tame, yet talented, songstress, elegantly singing big Brill Building-influenced pop ballads from behind a wall of lush orchestration. Live, however, she’s a versatile siren leading a no-frills rock quartet. She poured herself into the dark torch song “Hotel Plaster,” praying for a lover’s embrace while stuck in a hotel room, then later she was Janis Joplin’s big-winded kid sister, wailing on a extended blues solo.” NPR Music raves about the new The Onion A.V.
