Kathleen Lague
Live from Fedora 210, Kansas City, MO
12/30/01
If you're a music lover as I am, one of the best feelings is discovering a new talent. Someone who delivers on a variety of levels and ultimately moves you with their music. Somehow, you feel as if you've been given a little gift by the musical gods. That was the overwhelming feeling when Kathleen (Kat) Lague played at the Fedora 210 in Kansas City.
Arriving with a group of friends that hadn't heard Kat before, they were anxious to hear her and hoped for a good show. What they got was one of best live performances in Kansas City in a long time. It's rare that a performer can walk into a room full of people and mesmerize them from the first note, but that's what Kat Lague did. She possesses the rare combination of a great voice, insightful lyrics and and commanding stage presence. As one of my friends commented, "you can't help but like her, she's so talented." Showing her versatility, Kat more than delivered on everything from the rockin' Object of My Addiction and Drive Right Into the Sun to the soulful ballad The Real Thing (all of which are included on her new CD entitled Live from Hollywood).
When you see Kat live, you get the feeling that you're seeing a performer that is on the brink of stardom. Her intimate live shows allow audiences to see a real talent up close. My advice to music lovers- catch Kat live if you can.

Review: Girls Room Tour/July 30, 2000
This show has been one of the best shows we have ever experienced. When Kat opened the show we were taken away, with her rockin' guitar talent. We remember her making all these cool sounds with her guitar. Since we were not familiar with her songs we do not remember the set list, but we do remember her singing "Object Of My Addiction", "Diamonds In Quicksand", and "Play One For Me." Her show ROCKED! Also, after the GRT performed Kat got to come back up on stage and join in on the finale, it was awesome! After her set, we quickly ran down the stairs to go meet her and buy her stuff! We remember her being so nice and funny...about signing our stuff. We also remember her wearing cool nail polish with glitter!! And she was so tall with her rockstar shoes on. haha. Overall, it was a fabulous night that we'll never forget!
Dancin' In The District/June 2001
After waiting a year, we finally got the chance to go see Kat again. We arrived very early and decided to go ahead and walk down to the stage. We had a friend working for madbooking and thought we would get a chance to see her before the show. While walking down to the stage, we totally spotted Kat sitting with Patty Griffin. We were like, "Oh My God!!" Anyway, we found our friend Emily and she took us over to Kat. We gave her all of the gifts we brought, and took pics. At this time Kat told us she would be singing "When Will You Learn" just for us. That is our favorite song, and we thought that was very sweet!
THE SHOW - This was the first time for us to see Kat with her band. She was on electric guitar and she totally rocked! She sung most of the songs off of her album and she did a few new ones too. Our favorites were, "Play One For Me" because it sounded great with the band, also "Hear My Confession" because that songs just rocks, and of course "When Will You Learn" because she dedicated it to us, she played it on her electic guitar and her voice sounded beautiful!! After her show we took more pics and chatted some more, she is the coolest! When Patty performed we could see Kat and her pals sitting on a couch on the side of the stage. At one point, Kat started bowing to Patty, that was classic!! :) This was an AMAZING show we can't wait to see her again!!!
