WHAT ARE THE PRESS SAYING?
“With enchanting multi-part harmonies, a full rock band, choreographed dancing, and theatrical props and costumes, there's a strong current of drama, emotion, humor, weirdness and an undeniable magic — not unlike Kate Bush herself.” - KPBS
“Baby Bushka successfully steer a course between smirking pisstake on the one hand and po-faced interpretation on the other. They recognise the underlying gravitas of some songs but also the pantomimic excess of others, and understand the need to commit to them all with equal zeal.”- Buzzmag
“Baby Bushka exudes a sort of sisterhood. Their performances tell stories that build on Bush's lyrics — already richly narrative — and the cohesion and energy on stage is as unmistakable as the band's chemistry. The music is true enough to Kate Bush's original material, but seen through this lens of eight women who are bonded over the stories the songs tell — with each other and with their rapt audiences.” - Julia Dixon Evans
“Love was hounded, clouds were busted, babooshkas were ya-ya’d, and Heights were Wuthered” - 48 Hills
There was over-the-top choreography. There were glitter masks. I am not sure I've ever seen this many women occupy a stage together in person... and I've certainly never witnessed this level of collaborative joy as such a large ensemble passed the mic and various instruments. It wasn't impersonation, it was channeling. And it was so, so good. - Ann Friedman
“Sorry, but Kate Bush is not coming to your town — or any town...But you can get your fix with this wonderfully bewitching tribute troupe. Kooky, appropriately over-dramatic, but most of all with great respect, Baby Bushka delivers otherworldly versions with soprano trilling, extra-wide eyes and lush harmonies from the ethereal to the bombastic and back again. And arm movements. Lots and lots of arm movements. You will want to take your shoes off and throw them in a lake.” - LA Weekly
“With four-part harmonies, avant-garde choreography and brightly colored jumpsuits, the evening was like a dreamy and empowering music video.”
- Pacific Mag
