Auto_Da_Fe 10th Apr 2015		The entertainment started with Malka, an engaging personality, good musicianship, OK songs - and a peculiarly early 80s new wave funk sound. Imagine Noosha Fox fronting King Trigger. Lail Arad, next up, was much better than last time I saw her - alarmingly, already more than 4 years ago. Then, she was pretty nondescript. Now she's a phenomenon. Good, strong voice. Interesting wordy songs. Although probably the best is a cover, she sets the bar high with Paul Simon's "I Know What I Know". Overall, she reminds me a lot of Dory Previn. Which is a good thing. Herman Düne, at their best, made some of my favorite records and played some of my favorite gigs ever. But at the end, after the brother separation, they slipped into insipidity. Both parties seemed to flounder a bit but, although it has taken a few years, things are sounding good again. David, reinvented as Black Yaya, has regained some of the dark side which was missing from the late HD. The songs are the best he's released for ten years. The performance (abetted by an excellent bass/pedal steel player) is compelling. A very enjoyable evening.
