Kristeen Young: Beguiling And Visceral Rock

For many, Kristeen Young first made a splash in a performance with Morrissey on the Late Show with David Letterman in 2007, wearing a handcrafted yet futuristic "bubble dress" that could rival anything in Lady Gaga's wardrobe. But more, it was her soaring voice and beguiling stage presence that managed to steal a little spotlight from Moz himself. He's such a devoted fan in fact, that he's frequently handpicked her for a series of tours, including one that begins this May. But Morrissey is not the only fan of Young's music: She's written for and recorded duets with David Bowie and Placebo's Brian Molko.

Now, following her 2011 high-concept EP, V The Volcanic, Kristeen Young is set to drop a new album, The Knife Shift. Produced by frequent Bowie collaborator Tony Visconti, it's an intense collection of bold rockers propelled by the furious drumming skills of Dave Grohl. Still, at the heart of these visceral songs is Young's catchy yet operatic vocals and a distinct percussive piano style that has already won over some of music's biggest names.

Set List:

• "This Is War"
• "Jealous Of Loved Children"
• "The Pictures Of Sasha Grey"
