NEW York tastemakers have given album of the year honours to an unknown St Kilda rock chick. Leanne Kingwell, a rocker with no record label or manager, has made a year's best-of list in the Village Voice magazine. Her album, titled Show Ya What, is getting serious airplay on US college radio and is riding high on country, adult contemporary and mainstream charts. "It's surreal that everything is happening over there, but life goes on normal here," Kingwell says. Chuck Eddy, a respected US rock critic, and music editor at Village Voice, wrote: "Stop the presses, this album from Australia is what Avril (Lavigne) and Kelly (Clarkson) should sound like. "Leanne Kingwell kicks their butts like she kicks everybody's this year." Kingwell's album is No.18 on the US college airplay chart alongside new releases by Tool, Pearl Jam and Red Hot Chili Peppers. - Nui Te Koa, Sunday Herald Sun.

The Angels - now minus their iconic frontman Doc Neeson - have been experimenting with new lead singers of late. Melbourne singer Leanne Kingwell fronted the band for their performance at Cherry Bar last week, belting out Angels standards Be With You and Shadow Boxer. Angels publicist Catherine Swinton told The Backroom the crowd at the Cherry gig "just went beserk, so they're talking about doing some other things together, but there are no firm plans at the moment." Kingwell has released a cover of Be With You in the US, which brought her to The Angels' attention. She's set to hit the stage with the band again on Sunday for the Bon Scott tribute gig in Perth. For the past four years - since Neeson left to concentrate on other projects - the band has been performing with guitarist John Brewster on vocals.
