Lady Lamb the Beekeeper

CITY: Portland
SONG THAT GOT US: "Almond Colored Sheets"
MYSPACE ADDRESS: myspace.com/ladylambthebeekeeper
RECORD LABEL: Unsigned

WHY THEM? Lady Lamb the Beekeeper are energetic. Lead vocalist Aly Spaltro — who is only 20 years old — sings at max volume nearly all the time. And she doesn't even appear to put that much effort into it. All that power turns an act that could have easily been dismissed as too cutesy for its own good into a genuine force.

BONUS BIT! Mass. residents who are curious are in luck, since Lady Lamb the Beekeeper play T. T. the Bear's Place no fewer than three times in the next 30 days.
