What if Regina opened?
A great album came out yesterday called ‘far’. It’s by Regina Spektor and it got me thinking… Why not have her open for Pearl Jam in the US? For those who know her, there is the obvious Strokes/KoL connection to Pearl Jam. Plus, I was reading the new article about her in Spin and found out that she is good friends with Tom Petty’s daughter. After seeing Pearl Jam with Tom Petty three years ago next week, I feel that is another correlation between her and the band.
You might say that she isn’t the right type of artist to open for them, which is okay. She opened for the Kings of Leon and The Strokes before she really established herself outside of NY so I think she could handle it. Looking at Regina's current tour schedule she has shows in July and September with August currently open. Plus she’s got an amazing new album to support.
Here’s a taste for those of you who are interested:

[sorry for not burying this thought in one of the other opening band threads or Gomez sticky.]

I doubt Regina would be opening for Pearl Jam...but I'd buy that ticket for sure! Regina is my favorite female artist!
And no, she is anything but bad. Hard to say if she'd go well with the crowd or not...I'd definitely enjoy her opening!

That's really awesome! Really awesome! haha
Regina has opened up for The Strokes and has recorded with Kings Of Leon.
...good taste in music, for sure.... and certainly a PJ-friendly collection to be working with.

"Spektor's first nationwide tour was accompanying The Strokes as the opening act on their 2003–2004 Room on Fire tour, during which she and the band performed and recorded "Modern Girls & Old Fashion Men". Kings of Leon were the second opening act on that tour, and they invited Regina to open for them on their own European tour right after The Strokes tou"

Yeah, i knew that she opened for the Strokes. I was not aware that she opened for Kings of Leon! That's awesome. Her new album (along with all her others :P ) is really great! I'd love to see her open for Pearl Jam. I am convinced! hehehe
Dream the dreams of others then,... You will be no ones rival,...
