  Enmore Theatre - 7 Feb 08 - Moshcam

   » ‎ Waif World
  
  

  Cool - gotta love the internet.

  Check out this gig, recorded from the Moshpit at the Enmore Theatre.

  Highlights for me are Stay, sung in a beautiful slow lilt, and Temptation which is not released yet but is such a powerful song.

  Thanks to Winnie Pumpkin for pointing out the link.

  Colours reunion?

   » ‎ Waif World
  
  

  When is the last time The Waifs played as a duet without Josh? Back in the 90s before they met Josh? When they were called Colours? Think again…

  I hear that Josh got lost on the way to the Sisters Festival in Oregon last weekend, leaving Vikki and Donna to fend for themselves and play without their leading man.

  Word is that it was very funny and a lot of fun.

  Sun Dirt Water Review - the (sydney) magazine - Oct 07

  Sun, Dirt, Water - The Waifs (Jarrah) - Country blues

  by Richard Jinman, page 133

  Successful bands don’t always absorb the sounds of the cities where they record but The Waifs’s decision to work in Nashville is written all over ‘Sun, Dirt, Water’.

  A good portion of the tracks are country blues songs, some fattened with squalls of organ and a shuffling backbeat. If you are still in love with the band that made ‘London Still’, that fragile ode to homesickness, it’s quite a jolt. There’s nothing wrong with a jolt, or course, and the trio’s Tennessee dreaming is entirely convincing.

  From the gospel blues of ‘Sweetest Dream’ to the jazzy groove of the title track and the jaunty bar room rocker ‘How Many Miles’, the fatter sound, dirtier guitars and shuffling backbeats fit Josh Cunningham and sisters Vikki and Donna Simpson like a well-cut suit.

  The Conversation Hour - ABC Radio

   » ‎ Waif World
  
  

  Check out the link here to listen to a nice long interview with Donna and Vikki. The host is Richard Fydler, a member of the old comedy/cabaret group The Doug Anthony Allstars, who first met the band back in 1994 in Broome.

  Due to their long acquaintance this is a relaxed and candid interview.

  Nice one.

  Waifs on the net tonight

  On the off-chance you stumble over this blog in the next half hour, tune in to www.bigpond.com.au/mondaynightlive to see The Waifs playing at the Basement. I was lucky enough to be at the show, thanks to Mama Waif, and looking forward to seeing the show on web tv so to speak.
