Review of My Brightest Diamond’s Jan. 22 show at Bowery Ballroom on Spinner.com

Shara Worden (aka My Brightest Diamond) absolutely blows my mind. Her records are amazing, but when she performs she is just so incredibly beautiful and captivating and charming and all I can do is be all gushy and mushy when talking about her (oh! and she’s a Michigan native!). She had a girl making balloon hats and swords and animals before the show, the band threw confetti at us right when they got on stage (hole-punch holes + my curly hair = not so great), and gave out party hats. Basia Bulat opened and she was also wonderful and her great new record, Heart Of My Own, came out yesterday.
