No, this picture is not the second coming of the Village People. Greta Gertler (center) is an amazing singer/songwriter originally from Australia who is now living in New York. Her sound can be best described as sophisticated chamber-styled pop music accompanied by her fine band the Extroverts. Gertler released a terffic album from 2003, The Baby That Brought Bad Weather, and is currently mixing her new record with the Extroverts. Check out her show on April 1 at Pete’s Candy Store, 709 lorimer street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn,(718) 302-3770 (www.petescandystore.com). Not only are her shows great fun but they are sprinkled with a sense of humor. Why this artist is not signed by a major label is beyond comprehension.
