Photo via Morrissey's Facebook page Iconic British rockstar Morrissey performed at the Bass Concert Hall in Austin, TX. Opening for Morrissey was alternative rock songstress Kristeen Young. Young is indescribable: her music relies solely on the piano as she bashes away on chords that produce a delightfully cacophonous sound. Unrelenting and abrasive Young becomes possessed by a musical apparition during her live performances, her voice distinctive and powerful, accompanied by thumping piano keys and electronic sounds. To question Morrissey's impact and influence on English pop and rock music would be a foolish mistake. From [...]

American she-singer the KRISTEENYOUNG and her four-octave vocal range have unleashed the new FANTASTIC FAILURE video. wotyougot
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News When Kristeen Young , pianist and singer for the two-person rock group of the same name, is onstage, even the mundane can seem intriguing. "What are you doing out so late on a Wednesday night?" the eccentric front woman asked her audience last night at the Bell House in Brooklyn, N.Y., her question growing more beguiling as the evening wore on. On the one hand, the seemingly simple query had served to demystify the St. Louis-born singer. Young may have been wearing a black [...]
New York duo Kristeenyoung provide an intriguing convergence of sounds with their new album Music for Stippers, Hookers, and the Odd-Onlookers. Flowing throughout the album is a tangible dramatic flair. There is a Dresden Dolls-like theatrical cabaret goth aura that plays out particularly forcefully on tracks like "He's Sickened By My Crude Emotion". The blends very well when the band
Perhaps I was just young, but there seemingly was a time when Tori Amos felt edgy and just a little brash. Over the years, though, she has mellowed considerably and I've filed her in the "artists I used to like whose new albums I check out out of politeness only but I doubt I'll ever actually like anything they ever do again" folder. Enter KRISTEENYOUNG. I think the opening paragraph of their bio tells you everything you need to know about this band: "What's black and white and can crush you like a [...]

Of the records that will be released this year, Morrissey's Years Of Refusal (available February 17th on Lost Highway ) is high on my list. I have always done a poor job keeping secret my love for all things Mozz. For better or worse, I'm old enough to have laid out hard-earned scratch (by collecting range balls at the local links, if you must know) for Meat Is Murder on vinyl. Following a brief mid-career slump, Morrissey's been on a roll as of late, and [...]
Head over to Idolator for the new duet "That's What It Takes, Dear" by KristeenYoung and Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump.

Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump has collaborated with former Morrissey tour mates Kristeenyoung on a track from their forthcoming album 'Music for Strippers, Hookers, And The Odd Onlooker'.

![KristeenYoung And Patrick Stump Bring The Drama [Listening Station]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1349834_lg.jpg)
KristeenYoung* has teamed up with Fall Out Boy mutton chop master Patrick Stump for the dramatic duet "That's What It Takes, Dear." Under the supervision of the super-awesome Tony Visconti, "Dear" rumbles and thunders its way over spiky pianos and low synths to its going-for-it conclusion. It's rather minimalist in arrangement, but big-sounding, which ain't easy. I hate to pigeonhole, but there's definitely a mid-period Tori Amos vibe here which is undeniable, particularly in its rhythmic construction. I don't consider this a bad thing at all, and I've got nothing against melodrama, particularly in music that might [...]
