Nelly Kate’s Record Release Show At Strange Matter

by | Mar 7, 2012 | MUSIC

The city was abuzz with about Nelly Kate‘s record release show at Strange Matter last Thursday for her new album, Ish Ish, which also featured sets from local heroes The Diamond Center, Brooklyn’s SoftSpot, and Seattle’s The Pharmacy. If you’re just finding out about it now, then I must admit I’m amazed. However, I’m sure some of you were like me and couldn’t get away from whatever work you were finishing up in order to make it out to the show. Never fear, though, our man with the camera, Todd Raviotta, was in attendance, and he brought us back some great still photos and video footage from the evening’s events. Take it away, Todd:
