Neko Case!!!

edited January 2007 in Other Music
Is playing alot of venues within the next couple of weeks here on the West Coast. I just picked up my ticket for the 15th of February in Eugene. I have waited a long time to see her live. Did anyone happen to see her video from Austin City Limits? What a great, strong, passionate voice. Reminds me of someone else I know who goes by the name of ED... Now I see why Stone loves her so much!
I knew all the rules, but the rules did not know me...GUARANTEED!

    She's playing a few dates with Merle Haggard, too - that's a heck of a double bill. Wish she'd come back to the Midwest sometime :(

    She was so amazing on ACL - coincidentally, I just downloaded the audio from the ACL show yesterday.

    Her newest album was one of my favs this year. Also i picked up blacklisted over christmas and love it.

    She has a great voice and writes some great songs.

    An underated songstress she is!

    Neko can sing me to sleep anytime she wants. The woman is a goddess.
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    i'd rather see the new pornographers tour.......with her.
    Yeah, I've never seen them with Neko. We were hoping she would show for their set at Lolla, but we got the fill-in girl instead. She was all right.

    I love her. Fox Confessor is gorgeous.

    I was bumbed that she didn't tour with the New Pornographers when I saw them last tour.

    "Japan is awesome; the fans there knew all the words to all the songs...at least phonetically." - Stone

    "I know this song so well, I can smoke a cigarette, have a drink, brush my teeth, take a shit, and mow the lawn while singing it. But I'll only be doing a couple of those things during this version." - EV

    Theres a band from Tacoma Wa called "Girl Trouble". I'm not sure how, but at one point Neko Case was a go go dancer during their concerts. You might find some pictures or more info at their website.

    I totally agree with you. What a beautiful redhead! She has the pipes of an angel!

    I love Neko. And I have yet to see her with the New Pornographers. :(

    The Austin City Limits DVD has been played a million times over in my house.

    Will see her at the Helly-Up for sure. I saw her with Ryan Adams and Willie at the Hollywood Bowl and she was great. I'm stoked to see her in a smaller room.
    Didn't know Stone was a fan, very cool.
    Using the word "methinks" in your message board posts doesn't make you look smart.

    Stone is a fan? Very cool...where did you hear that?

    I get a lot of grief from my wife about being a HUGE fan of artists like Neko Case, Jenny Lewis, Kasey Chambers, Lucinda Williams, etc., but I think she's most jealous of Neko. Should our child (due in April) had been a girl, Neko would've been worked into her name somehow, so I guess you can tell who my favorite is and her jealousy is not uncalled for. :D

    My boyfriend loves Neko too. I see it as more of a turn on though. It means he has great taste.

    ive seen the pornographers 4 times all but once with neko. not only did neko not come last time but dan bejar neither. the two best voices of the fucking group. i was pissed. you cant be billed as the new pornographers without bejar, and neko. ac newmans niece is only okay and compared to neko she is nothing. they played two gigs here in october and i didnt go because nobody could confirm that they would be there! what a let down. i heard they are putting out a new one in 07? anyone confirm that?

    Is that who the fill-in girl was? AC Newman's niece? Huh.

    I've also heard they will have a new cd out in 2007. Hope it happens.

    i'll be seeing Neko on Valentine's Day with my lovely fiance......it's just so fitting since I asked her to marry me right before the last time we saw Neko Case!

    I've seen her a good 6-7 times. The only woman I'd switch teams for.

    Been a 'Hamster for 8 years now. The PAC will suit Neko very nicely. Have fun at the show!
