Kate Nash + La Sera

Londoner Kate Nash’s smart-ass songs about boyfriend troubles (they’ll act like dickheads, throw up on your footwear and so on) made her a star in her native land, in the mold of Lily Allen. Now the sassy songstress is playing behind her new, fan-financed third album, Girl Talk, which takes her hooky pop in a grittier direction. Vivian Girl Katy Goodman opens with her hooky solo project, La Sera.
