COURTNEY BARNETT IN CONCERT:
Australian alt-rock up-and-comer Courtney Barnett is quickly making a name for herself with her witty lyrics and deadpan vocal delivery. Fans of clever wordplay and surprising lyrical juxtaposition will find much to love in jangly gems like "Avant Gardener" and "History Eraser", and Barnett's performance style -- a mixture of shambling ease and surprising precision -- perfectly complements the complex personality she reveals through her music. Barnett is still a relative newcomer, but she's already generated significant excitement for future tour dates with pitch-perfect performances at showcases around the world.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born in Melbourne, Barnett attended the Tasmanian School of Art before returning to her hometown to pursue music full-time. After a stint playing with The Dandy Warhol's Brent DeBoer in a band called Union, she made her EP debut in 2012 with I've Got a Friend Called Ferris. She quickly followed up with her full-length debut album How to Carve a Carrot into a Rose, garnering a Best New Music nod from Pitchfork and hitting the road for extensive touring. In late 2013 she caught the eye of Rolling Stone and The New York Times with her performances at the CMJ Music Marathon, with both outlets naming her one of the festival's standout acts. A bright young talent with a diamond-sharp wit, Barnett has fans eagerly awaiting her next tour dates.

I've been watching her concerts on YouTube for over a year. When I mention her to anyone they say "who?" This will not keep up. Courtney is destined to be a huge star and I was lucky to see her up close. This is good because her next tour will probably be at a bigger venue.
Such a fantastic show! They all sounded awesome, and had great stage presence! Love them! I also enjoyed the two opening acts.
Amazing music & she seems like such a nice person!
One of the best shows i've been to in a while. Great atmosphere int he crowd and the band entertained throughout.
The concert was moved to the Knitting Factory which was probably for the best. Courtney Barnett and her band were fantastic. High energy, obviously having fun and super tight. I can't wait until she comes back to NYC to see her again.
