Though I’ve known for a while that Chicago’s violist-singer-songwriter Anni Rossi puts on incredible one-woman shows, I kept missing her at SXSW. She played at Death by Audio yesterday, though, with Micachu and the Shapes, and is playing tonight at Mercury Lounge with Camera Obscura, and then on the 27th at Union Pool with Midnight Masses and Wild Yaks. Pictures of Anni and the Micachu crew from last night are after the jump.

Download “Wheelpusher” by Anni Rossi | Everyone seems to love the Ting Tings, but it’s opener Anni Rossi I’ve my eyes on while the two acts are in town for a date at Bowery Ballroom and Southpaw this week – though unfortunately for latecomers like me, both shows are sold out. Regina Spektor and Joanna Newsom comparisons are afloat, and to the extent that these comparisons are useful, they are true for violist/singer/songwriter Rossi, if only owing to the tradition of a stringed instrument (when the arrangement is viola-based), the temperament of some songs I’ve heard so far, and a singing style that can be considered whimsical. The degree of similarities are insignificant, however, but the description on Rossi’s myspace applies: “Great music for Family and Friends! Gather around the table.”
