Live Performance by Hydra (Yula Be'eri, Rima Fand & Sarah Small)
Brooklyn’s newest vocal creature, Hydra, basks in dark, thick harmony. As they describe themselves, "I sing for you… to us… as one, as three. We speak five languages – English, Albanian, Spanish, Macedonian and HydraTongue – and we’d like to learn yours." With members Yula Be'eri, Rima Fand and Sarah Small (Black Sea Hotel), Hydra brought its vocal dance to WFMU's Love Room.

	10:11pm Time Shift lover: beautiful reminds very vaguely of course me of the old Balkan folk songs that I heard on Dancing on the air....in 7/8 time
	10:33pm BEAVO: Hydra was a rock band from the 70s on Capricorn records
	♥ 10:44pm Irene Trudel: I know, BEAVO. But they're gone now. Unlikely someone will mistake this Hydra for them.
	10:47pm BEAVO: I know just saying
	10:49pm BEAVO: Ambrosia was a rock band from the seventies
	10:50pm BEAVO: And they're still around
	♥ 10:51pm Irene Trudel: I know, and that's a scary thought!
	10:56pm BEAVO: I'm enjoying your show very much and glad you're not playing rock band from the 70s!
	10:58pm KP: To Lady Jane
	10:58pm BEAVO: Nice lady Jane

	♥ 11:03pm Irene Trudel: KP, I think that big sound is gorgeous. Lovely, interesting arrangements too.
	♥ 11:04pm slosl: My god, how does a poor schmuck like me get to randomly turn on a wfmu show and just sit enchanted for an entire evening? Such good music. Thank you, Irene Trudel.
	♥ 11:06pm Irene Trudel: Thanks, slosl! You're making me blush! Glad you're enjoying tonight's show.
	11:26pm JakeGould: WFMU: The home of all kinds of beautiful, lovely and wonderful poor schmucks.
	11:27pm KP: So that was Minnie Riperton? I was listening for the trademark high notes but couldn't catch one
	♥ 11:33pm Irene Trudel: Oh, there were a few of Minnie's soaring high notes in there, especially while the others were singing the chorus.
	11:35pm KP: Speaking of high notes! I thought Vermillion Sands were more ambient than this. I have to start paying attention
	11:49pm KP: High time
	♥ 11:51pm Irene Trudel: Yes, it certainly is.
	11:59pm KP: Good night Irene
	♥ 12:00am Ken From Hyde Park: This morning, my daughter mentioned she had no suitable clothes for her concert this evening, so part of the day was spent rounding up that. The concert went well and now chilling out with the tunes. Thanks and see you next week, Irene.
	♥ 12:00am Irene Trudel: G'nite all.
	🥁 ♥ 9:42am Sean in Bristol UK: As always, Irene, a show of beauty and awesomeness, great set from Hydra, thank you
	12:42pm Van in DC: I knew I was forgetting something last night.
	1:25pm Van in DC: What a tremendously awesome fantastic first set.
	1:36pm Van in DC: Unicornish lol. So in other words (so to speak ha ha), it's like what the Cocteau Twins do a lot, sound great speaking gibberish... love it.
