“SOME REALLY GOOD SHIT!” – Tulane radio - Of French and Indian heritage, Kristie Nalley grew up on the Gulf Coast listening to her dad play Willie Nelson records upstairs and her brother spinning the Velvet Underground in the basement. At the age of 18 she moved to the City of New Orleans to study Music Therapy at Loyola University where her guitar professor encouraged her to drop out of music school and pursue a career in songwriting. Listening to the sage advice, Kristie spent some time in Nashville refining her songwriting skills and playing the Nashville songwriter venues. She returned to New Orleans to record her debut album with her New Orleans rock band, The Pagan Romantics, which has topped college radio charts across the country and enjoyed rave reviews. She was a featured artist in U2's film "Music Rising", they licensed her song "Life in a Box" for the soundtrack. While residing in Austin, TX she was also a featured artist at 2007 SXSW Fest with Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips for a segment for Jay Leno and the Tonight Show. "She plays the seductress, lures you inside, and then shoves your face in your own desperation.” -OffBeat Magazine. After more than a year of writing and recording in Texas, Kristie showcased her latest record "Lavaux" produced by Joe Hardy (ZZ Top, Tina Turner) in Austin during SXSW 2008. Then, she clicked her heels and returned to her old neighborhood in New Orleans to reunite with her original band members in their thriving music community. "Mixing the inherent cultural oddity of New Orleans with the oasis of musical weirdness that is Austin, Texas, singer/songwriter Kristie Nalley warbles tremulously like PJ Harvey demoing Tom Waits' songs of emotional apocalypse. Nalley and her band roar with breathless ferocity that cross-pollinates Magic Band quirk and Wilco substance with Nico-centric chamber rock poetry rants, resulting in an album that is compelling and disquieting in equal measure. Kristie Nalley & the Pagan Romantics was dealt a set-back when Hurricane Katrina soaked the first printing (the review copies are the actual water-damaged-and-sanitized discs that were swallowed by the breached levees), but Nalley has clearly countered with a sonic storm of her own." — Brian Baker, HARP Magazine

Hey there how's it going? Just dropped by and saw that you are now in Austin. Welcome and I hope to see one of your shows sometime. Maybe even a jam session just for the hell of it. Keep on rockin.
Hey Kristie,
I just listened to Barely Legal. Good stuff. What I liked the most is that you're a pretty girl but don't play "pretty girl" music. You tread your own path. They were right about the Velvet Underground comparison too.
That's a Danelectro, right?
Cheers,
Jim
