In Photos: Beth Jeans Houghton & The Hooves of Destiny + Amber States + The Great Hereafter @ The Lexington, London (29.09.11)

Kooky songstress Beth Jeans Houghton – back from a sabbatical in L.A., and now signed to Mute – gave Londoners a preview of tracks from her long-awaited debut LP, Yours Truly, Cellophane Nose (due out in January), with a recent midweek show at N1 hangout The Lexington. We weren't quite sure what to make of that 'hip-hop Tigger' stage attire, but her set, which was deftly augmented by her Hooves of Destiny backing band, certainly showed plenty of promise.
