Shilpa Ray and her Happy Hookers play grinding blues, sleazy jazz, and bracing rock with punk immediacy and pop appeal. The result? Something like a vulgar Ella Fitzgerald, channeling Nick Cave and PJ Harvey, and singing her songs before a wall of distortion and thunderous, pounding rhythms. Live shows are already a notorious commodity -- and audiences have been screaming as loud as the band does.
These are photos from concerts where Shilpa Ray & Her Happy Hookers played, so they may be of other bands that played the concert as well.
