I went to see Diana Anaid who was playing at the Greenroom last night here in Canberra. A very nice set, even though she seemed to have a bunch of trouble with her guitar’s pick-up.

I was actually a little surprised the place wasn’t packed out. I guess she’s not quite as well known as I imagined. Pity really, because she’s got a great voice, is really good looking (her face is somehow like a more attractive version of Sarah Jessica Parker) and has some great songs to go with it all. I’ve no idea really how I even first heard of her. The songs I know best are ‘Perfect Family’ and ‘Don’t believe in love’ and though I’m familiar with her best known song, ‘I go off’, I’ve never had a copy of it. It’s a shame her web-site doesn’t sell any of the back catalogue, and the iTunes music store link seems to be broken.

On a final note, I have to admit, I had never noticed until tonight that Anaid is just Diana backwards, which I guess means it’s only a stage name. One of those in jokes the music world always seems to be holding over those of us who don’t pay much attention to anything beyond the music itself I guess.
