Money Where Your Mouth Is: Scene music writers are busy debating exactly at which point Radiohead sold out, so instead a band will make its own case. Artist: Megan Slankard Hometown: “San Francisco-ish.”
Sounds like: “Lovely folk-rock acoustic lovin’ with some contradictorily back-stabbing lyrics.”
Fun fact: “First band nominated me for TLC’s What Not to Wear (a reality makeover show), for which I was flown out to NYC and schooled on the ways of fashion with a trash can (for the old clothes) and a TLC credit card (for the new ones).”
Playing: Wednesday, March 7 at Beachland Ballroom, 15711 Waterloo Rd., 216-363-1124. 8 p.m., $8 cover, with Joe Rohan and Doug Wood.
Why you need to see her: “If you don’t I’ll cry [lip trembles, eyes water]. Oh, and I put on a heck of a great show.” — Megan
