Lead singer of Monsters are Waiting, Annalee, is either the worst dancer in the world or she is suffering from some sort of affliction. Either way, it wasn't cute. My advice to Matt during the show was, don't look directly at her. I spent most of the show staring at the floor myself.
Never at a show have I experienced such terrible stage presence, she flapped her arms like a chicken and squawked at one point, so contradictory to the music. It really is a shame, because MaW does actually have some good stuff. They remind me very much of a female fronted Hourly Radio. It's dark, post rocky with a little Manic Street Preachers. The stand out track from them would definitely be 'Fascination.' It's worth checking out their MySpace, but their show may be another story- people were actually leaving during the middle of the set. Ultragrrrl and Nightmare of a Boyfriend, however, showed up just as people were beginning to get annoyed and walk out.
