upcoming excitement

aside from the excitement of seeing britt daniel "act" on veronica mars last night, there is new excitement in the world of the bad arts.

neko case, whose upcoming fourth album fox confessor brings the flood hits the shelves march 7 (u.s.), is playing minneapolis on march 29.



excitement abounds.

neko is one of my all-time favorite performers. i have seen her twice as a new pornographer, once as a corn sister, and five times performing with her boyfriends (though she has dropped the boyfriends from her album titles, they're still there on tour. especially the amazing jon rauhouse on pedal steel.). amazing! so, to see a minneapolis date pop up on billions.com this morning was fairly very good to see. no one puts on a show like neko. while i wouldn't say that her performance is up to par with such acts as spoon or even harry and the potters, she commands a different type of stage presence and her voice is as pure live as it is on her albums. pure, sultry, amazing.

the new album, too, is supposed to be great, so be sure to go shopping on march 7. did you get that? MARCH 7, k?
