The Debutante Hour is a New York delight. The city that invented hipsters somehow also spawned three women who will make any uptight A-hole laugh, cry (but mostly laugh), marvel at their acoustics, and kneel before the glory of their harmonies.
Fresh from their debut album release, the cabaret trio just dropped the EP Follow Me, a handful of lovely Vaudevillian covers of hits like “No Scrubs” and “Do You Realize.” I listened, I loved, and I had to go to their EP release party at the Bowery Electric on March 5.
I tell you, nobody pulls off wardrobe malfunctions, equipment issues, and flubbed lyrics better than The Debutante Hour. The ladies charmed all the jaded snark out of the Manhattan audience through eleven hilarious, deeply intelligent original tracks and covers, even with the odds against them. See for yourself.
