Feist just returned from the big top of music, the Grammy Awards, and while she may not have won the four awards attached to her nominations, she had a good time. I mean, what the hell? I can still hear the incredible Tina Turner belting out “You better be good to me” in that hot silver get-up, get down.
As always, she sprinkled some quiet charm on a night rife with fog guns and harnessed red dancing ladies. She also got tonnes of big ups on the carpet. Apparently Jay-Z was trying to find her? Imagine 1,2,3,4 counting all the way up to 99 Problems? Math rock.
Rumor also has it that some video footage is circulating of Feist and Kermit on the red carpet. Miss Piggy is so jealous.
Born in Amherst, Nova Scotia, Leslie Feist was raised in Regina, Saskatchewan and Calgary, Alberta. Feist got her start in music as the lead vocalist for a Calgary punk band called Placebo (not the more famous British band Placebo), who won a local Battle of the Bands competition and were awarded the opening slot at a Ramones concert. After five years of touring, Feist was forced to take time off from music to recover from voice damage. She moved from Calgary to Toronto in 1998 and took up guitar; by 1999, she was the guitarist for By Divine Right. She also released her debut solo album, Monarch (Lay Your Jewelled Head Down), that year.
