Prom Queen covers “November Rain” & Our Month Has a Theme Song

Lana Del Rey is being touted (or at the very least talked about) all over the world for her “gangsta Nancy Sinatra” approach to singing and styling.
Seattle has its own answer to those who crave songs reminiscent of the 60′s sex symbol, and thankfully she’s less LA lip injections and more leopard-print guitar strap, stilettos and pink electric guitar. She is Prom Queen and last Thursday, as part of the the 4th Best of the New, she thoroughly enchanted the audience with her retro sass, technicolor orchestration and this show-stopping, set-ending cover of Guns ‘n’ Roses “November Rain.”
You can pretty much bet we’ll be listening to and watching the video on repeat all November. If you missed Prom Queen last Thursday, we were so impressed by her sultry songs we’ve asked her to open our December 2nd Sound on the Sound Presents show with Shaprece and Lucas Field. More info and a link to buy tickets coming for that very soon.

What? Prom Queen – heard a lot about this woman and I’m not sure why I’ve evn heard about her period. If you’re gonna revisit sultry 60′s, doubt it’s this version, yawns. At least she’s out there tryin though.

Martin, you should take a listen to Prom Queen’s album that just came out if you want some dead-on sultry 60′s. Her vocals and the fact that she produces her own music are amazing, though–you can’t deny that: http://promqueenband.bandcamp.com/album/night-sound
