The Wave Pictures Tickets Feb 10 2010 7:00 pm iCal

HMV Live & MAMA Festivals present Next Big Thing featuring The Wave Pictures with support from Lisa Mitchell and The Miserable Rich.

The Wave Pictures are on the cusp of a breakthrough with their charming, witty pop songs shot through with gawky glee and doomed provincial romanticism.

At just 19, Lisa Mitchell is shaping up to be a new kind of singer-songwriting protégé. She’s a teen, and the music is pop, but rather than teen-pop, this talented young woman is fast finding a voice all of her own. It’s candy-coated folk-pop with a fierce and often dark heart.  Her music embodies the tenderness of Laura Marling, the wordplay of Regina Spektor and the free spirit of Feist, but Lisa nonetheless inhabits a magical world that few other artists are exploring.
