Last week Ben Folds was amazing, as always.  But the opening band, Kate Miller-Heidke, nearly stole the show.

Kate and her accompanying guitarist (her partner/boyfriend/husband, I think) were playful, funny, creative and dramatic (Kate added operatic flourishes that were shocking and hysterical).  And they’re talented!  I gave them a standing ovation several times … I couldn’t help myself.

See/listen for yourself.  The first video below shows Kate and her guitarist singing/playing a song called “Politics in Space,” which is one of my favorites.  In the second video, Kate performs the song “Are You F*cking Kidding Me (Live),” which is a hoot, especially if you’ve ever reconnected with a former girlfriend/boyfriend on Facebook.
