Today on Twitter Billy has tweeted in answer to followers talking about covers he would like to see done. 

“here are a few i would love to see covered: zwan/of a broken heart: sp/purr snickety: BC: singapore: sp/for martha sp: that’s the way”

Thought this was interesting, so wanted to look back today … way back to 2005. In that year we held one of our tribute concerts to the Smashing Pumpkins in Perth, Australia From that concert came a special performance of ‘The End is the Beginning is the End’. Performed by Clare Nina Norelli (formally nina.x) this rendition was a talking point for the entire night and on the Ozphoria Forum months afterwards, so what better time to share this again with everybody than now. She also performed a great cover of For Martha, which I might post too. 

Bio for Clare Nina Norelli:

2008 sees critically applauded chanteuse Clare Nina Norelli (formerly nina.x) releasing her debut EP, Piano Noir. The WAMi nominated Miss Norelli has garnered a cult following in the Perth original music scene with her dramatic vocal range and compelling compositions, and her performances have also won glowing reviews in local press.

Channeling the haunting torch singers of days gone by, Miss Norelli’s Piano Noir is a collection of songs about heartbreak and long lonely nights that evokes the sound and ambience of 1930s and ‘40s jazz and blues bars.
