The Cheap Show by Anaïs (Croze, in no way related to Pauline Croze) was released last year, but will have it's official Dutch release this month - a good opportunity to post a few songs. The Cheap Show is both a debut-album and a live-recording, pretty rare for a new artist. She was born in Grenoble, raised in Marseille and is a former member of Opossum, a rockband in vein of Frank Zappa's more humorous ways. Anaïs likes to joke around as well, on The Cheap Show she does parodies (Bad Blues Player), cites Justin Timberlake and mixes tender acoustics with a blackmetal-grunt (La Plus Belle Chose Au Monde). On her site she's compared to both Mary Poppins and Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, and considered very unpredictable. I'm still not sure if The Cheap Show is good or mostly a collection of gimmick-y songs. But you can hear she's a great entertainer; she has the audience eating out of her hand.

You can just tell that girl's up for a laugh by the way she's licking that guitar. What a sensible lady.
