Info-Info

I’m going to open up and share something with you – I’m a recovering addict. I used to attend concerts three to four times a week. When you give your body this much sensory over-load on a regular basis, you’re bound to become incoherently numb to pretty much anything music related that keeps you away from much needed sleep. Unless of course, it has the ability to make you feel something new and original that you’ve never felt before. With that in mind, when I received a text message that read “I was just at the most amazing show ever. Chills up and down my spine. You have to hear this.” I was left curious.

The text message was referring to Theresa Andersson. A soft-spoken, singer-song-writer from Los Angeles, California who tends to have more originality in her pinky than most people do in their entire body. Big words I know, but after familiarizing myself with her music on Myspace and loving every bit of it, I felt the only logical step next was to attend one of her residency shows at The Mint in Hollywood. The gloomy club is only two blocks from home for me, so it wouldn’t take much energy for a tired-concert-goer like myself to show up and see what she’s all about.

Maybe Conan O’Brien noticed that Theresa Andersson’s viral-video hit, “Na Na Na” (recorded in her kitchen) is up to an astounding 791,000 views on YouTube. She’ll be his guest tonight (NBC, 11:35 pm), performing songs from her new CD Hummingbird, Go!. Also on the bill: Jon Hamm of Mad Men.

Here’s “Na Na Na” (again):
