Topic for the upcoming tour

[Lily]

I thought that we should create a special topic gathering all the information and dates we have about the upcoming tour !

According to myspace the first concert will take place in Paris (France) (where exactly ?) on january 21 and the rest of the tour will last 6 months.

Yay ! :D

[pdh1978]

According to NME, there's a show in London on 27th January: nme.com (http://www.nme.com/news/cat-power/33162)

Oi, Matador, how come all the neddy NME readers get to find this stuff out before we do??? :(

[Lily]

thanks for the info,

apparently the concert in paris will take place at the Bataclan (http://www.digitick.com/index.php4?p=205&idEvt=9830), much better than the Grand Rex !

[jackofficer]

Nice, the Paris show is on her 36th birthday! Make sure you all give her three cheers!

Jesus, the internet really, some people have no life :D ...

Btw, among the european fans, is anyone planning on attending the show in Paris?? I'd be happy to meet fans there :).

Also, do you think some more european dates will be added between the 21s t and the 27th?

Also, do you think some more european dates will be added between the 21s t and the 27th?
hey, I was about to ask the same question. I do hope some dates in either Belgium or Netherlands will be added, or Germany even (Ruhr-area isn't that far away from me either). But I'm afraid they may skip my country this time, as the show in Eindhoven in May had to be rescheduled to the small hall because of low ticket sales...
If no other dates are added, I may go to Paris, it's on a sunday anyway :-)


Happy Holidays to everyone!

[Patrick]

I'm afraid no other dates between the 21st and the 27th... but look for lots of Cat Power in Europe (and everywhere) in 2008!

Feb 10 -Chicago @ Vic Theatre

just got a couple of tickets for this, while i am a long time fan, my first time seeing her live. i can't wait. driving up to chi from louisville.

[notonlyicecold]

Are these solo shows or with dirty delta blues?

[Patrick]

Are these solo shows or with dirty delta blues?

Full band.

[Lily]

I think all the shows are with the dirty delta blues, but I hope she'll perform some songs by herself such as I don't blame you, or the Greatest on the piano,

maybe Patrick could tell us more...

Is this tour going to be the same as the last one she did in Europe last may?

EDIT: Patrick was faster :D !

[shady lane]

Does any one know who the support act are for the tour. When I have seen her in the past the support acts have always been really good.

[_tunic_]

Bummer. When I finally decided to go to Paris, it turned out to be sold out already (which isn't mentioned on the Bataclan site itself, only when you click further to the tickets site). There's still tickets for the London show, so that's where I'm going to now. Which is much easier for me, I work next door to a Ryanair airport :-)

Both venues have nothing listed yet about a support act. The Bataclan does say there's a première party afterwards. Dexter Romweber was great on the May tour, wouldn't mind seeing him again.

If anyone could give me some recommendations for London during that weekend (cheap but decent hotel, places to go to, other bands playing), let me know.

Catpower coming to Australia!!!!! YEAH!! I travelled around Europe for 6 months last year and somehow still managed to miss her shows ...so It's great she will be playing at my hometown in sydney in march. Give me a buzz if any aussie fans want to catch up at the enmore for her show!

BTW I think its great that Chan is doing charity work in india. It's very admirable!And the photographer she is travelling with takes amazing shots!

[Sirenz]

BTW here is a link for the shows Catpower will be playing in Australia. Not sure if anyone else has posted them yet.

[Lily]

wow a great night for me !

I went to the parisian show yesterday, it was very nice, excellent sound, the musicians were brilliant and so was Chan, she gave everything she had. But almost no songs from the greatest (only could we and where is my love?). I was first row. We could hear her voice just fine.

Today I went to a tv station because she was recording 8 songs for canal + (l'album de la semaine) and she recognized me ! she waived at me and smiled ! I was surprised.
The show was good but she was extremely stressed out and they had to replay the songs several times, but I loved it ! Then at the end of the show she came to me and brought me the setlist, saying "I saw you last night..." and then she waived again and smiled.
I waited for her to come out and the whole band did ! She signed a cd cover for me and we took a picture together, she was a sweatheart, you can tell she cares about her fans. I talked to Gregg too about the fact that they really improved themselves compared to the show last may in Brussels, he looks hot in real life despite his crazy hair (ahah just kidding)...

Well there are a few chances that I might see them play again this week since they are doing a few more promotionnal plays for radios etc...I don't know yet.

:)

Btw: here are 3 videos of the show in Paris:

[shady lane]

Lilly,
who as the support act in Paris, although it may not be the same for the London date.

[Lily]

it was her friend's band, she's french, Appaloosa.

[Mike]

Lily, we were both lucky to be at the Canal Plus event. It was so intimate and just sounded great. I think at Bataclan there was also "Willie" and "Satisfaction" as non Jukebox songs plus the Life of the Party/Tracks of My Tears number. All fantastic.

[Lily]

did we meet??

[Mike]

No I keep a low profile

[Lily]

That's too bad, did u see me? I'm the tall girl with long brown hair, Chan pointed me and brought me the setlist at the end, do you remember?

[Mike]

Sure. I saw you get the setlist.

[shady lane]

The gig in London last night was amazing. Really good sound and a brilliant vocal performance backed by musicians from some of my favorite bands. Quality night out.

[thomarse]

somebody else who went to Shepherd's Bush didn't enjoy it as much as you did...


http://music.guardian.co.uk/live/story/0,,2248378,00.html

[shady lane]

I brought the guardian on the that day and just laughed really, everyone is entitled to an opinion but I thought this was just unfair, whether I had been at the gig or not.

[Fiona]

I read that Guardian review and wasn't terribly impressed. I could say the same for a lot of The Guardian's music journalism recently, mind. At the other extreme Pete Paphides at The Times *loved* it.

[shady lane]

I just hope that there are going to more gigs later this year.

[Moon Pix]

I went to that gig and enjoyed it a lot. The problem with these journalists is that they have to intellectualise it and pick it apart. That isnt the reality of most concert goers. We just go to enjoy ourselves.

[Fiona]

Ah Moon Pix, you went to the gig and that's all you have to say about it? Come on, that's not like you, you've a few more lines in you surely?

[Moon Pix]

It was predominantly material from Juke Box with a few songs from The Greatest. I like this new band and they did my favourite song from Juke Box which is "Silver Stallion." I don't know why but I just love that song. I believe this is the only time Ive ever seen her were she didnt do "Satisfaction".

Her sense of humour has always been something Ive enjoyed the times Ive seen her but Ive noticed with this new band she isnt really talking to the audience very much which is kind of dissappointing. Also dissappointing for me personally was the lack of a mid show solo set. My all time favourite show as Ive said before on this board was the first Memphis band show she did in London after coming out of the hospital and this show wasnt really up there with that but I still enjoyed myself a lot and had a good night. Its just that its weird talking about it cause I wrote a little bit about the other Dirty Delta show she did in London last year and it was pretty similar to this one. Plus Ive had sinisitus for the past 3 weeks or so. One of the symptoms of it that Ive been suffering from is light headedness and so Ive been pretty spaced out recently.

[Fiona]

Hope you feel better soon, sinusitis is bleh, really hard to concentrate with it. Hot whiskey or port!

[Moon Pix]

Thanks Fiona but as for the suggestion sorry but no cigar... I cant drink alcohol at the moment cause Im on animoxicillin.:(

Moon pix, I dont know if you've seen this? Shame its not longer.
I really love "Could We" as the past couple of times I've seen her it has been the best part of the set for me. I like the organ part.

[Moon Pix]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ydGP1QQHqw

Moon pix, I dont know if you've seen this? Shame its not longer.

Yep... it is good isnt it.:)

I think its becoming more rock n roll. Its uniquely Chan but it is different to how its been before. Its different tto the days of coming on in a green Boy Scouts of America shirt with her hair in her eyes playing solo shows. Something has changed.

[shady lane]

I think there should be a couple of complete solo shows as well as shows with the band as they are opposite sides of the same coin. Both are good in different ways. I know that jukebox has only been out weeks, but I think that the next album may be more solo. Or she may surprise us again and do a techno album!!! Whats Moby up to lately?

[Moon Pix]

Id like to see intergrated shows. My all time favourite show was a Cat Power show and it was all over the place, instrumentals, full band numbers, solo spots. Id rather see that than one totally band show and one totally solo show. I like things to be a bit more unorganised than that.:)

Whats Moby up to lately?

Appearing on Nevermind the Buzzcocks in a sunbrero grinding his crotch in Simon Amstell's face apparently.

[shady lane]

more shows be it solo or a full band.

[Lily]

here you can find some of the videos of the shows she played in France:

http://www.youtube.com/user/dodedikaas

[Moon Pix]

Thanks for that Lily.:)

[bivester]

more shows be it solo or a full band.
it would be cool to see her do some shows like hot tuna or cowboy junkies do and be her own opening act. sometimes they do short acoustic sets to open the show, 30 minutes or so, take about a 10 minute break, then play and hour + electric set. the best of both worlds, great way to balance it out...

not that i'm complaining, i love what i just saw. but i've never been lucky enough to see her solo and i woulda loved to seen her strap on a guitar or sit down at a piano. oh well, maybe next time.

[Tender Prey]

One week till I see my singing girl...
Very exciting.
Anyone else in this dead forum coming down on the 13th?

[Sirenz]

I'm seeing catpower on the 9th march..tomorrow!! I'm very excited about it!

[groovekid]

Ok, did anyone see the show at the Enmore last night? Seriously disappointing. The sound was just crap

[jackofficer]

I don't think it was that the sound was particularly awful, as the Enmore is generally a good venue, I think there is still an issue with the bands sound and Chans voice mixing well together. There were times when you literally could not hear her voice, let alone what she was singing. She was just too low in the mix. I've been hearing this point for ages now from a lot of people who have seen her in different venues, and it surprises me that it is obviously still the case. It's not bad when the band are playing a soft bit, but when they kick in with a loud section she may as well not sing at all.

While I like Jukebox, it's frankly only because Chan is singing the songs, I'm not really bothered with the covers themselves. And I think a lot of people feel the same way judging the reactions last night. Every song off Jukebox got polite applause, Metal Heart and the 4 or so tracks they played off The Greatest got far more response from the audience. Of course it's purely my personal opinion, but I found it a bit of a waste having the most talented singer songwriter of modern times, one of the best drummers around, and a great guitarist, playing such lackluster songs.

Having said all that, and I say again, it's only my personal point of view, it's always great catching Chan live. I'm really looking forward to catching her next time when she tours with the new album of originals.

The highlights of the night for me? From a Cat Power point of view, Willie. Main highlight though was the unexpected duet of Jim White and Mick Turner for 45 minutes or so. Great stuff.

[groovekid]

I would say there was definitely a sound problem. The feedback was awful, and the bassist nearly blew his ear out.

That being said, I was really disappointed, it was such a lackluster performance, I would say especially by the band. There was no energy, and I know Jukebox isn't necessarily a high energy album, everyone looked like they wanted to be somewhere else. Real lack of any sort of passion.

And I think a lot of the songs were cheesed out.

She has such an amazing voice, and it was just disappointing we didn't really get to hear it.

[jackofficer]

I would say there was definitely a sound problem. The feedback was awful, and the bassist nearly blew his ear out.

True, there were two or three blasts of feedback but they were isolated incidents I thought, certainly from where we were sitting. I did see the poor bass guy rubbing his ear gingerly for quite a while after one particular blast.

[Tender Prey]

I hope these problems are not repeated.

[Moon Pix]

Not hearing the vocals goes with the territory when you go to see a rock n' roll show which is what these shows are. Its a simple case of volume overwhelming a singer. She's not just singing over a piano anymore, she's trying to sing over a rock n' roll band. These 'problems' are technical realities and are not fixable because to make Chan's vocals audible over all of that volume would require either turning her microphone up (which would result in feedback) or turning the band down so much the music would lose its balls. Feedback is fixable however and that makes it a problem and unnecessary.

Just let the girl rock and take it for what it is. Im not the biggest fan of this band or record myself (personally I prefer the stripped down versions of these songs Ive heard on different internet sessions) but if she wants to rock out who are we to say 'no you can't do that, you must appease us?'

[groovekid]

No, it wasn't a problem of just being a rock and roll show. I've seen plenty of bands at the Enmore, and the sound has been much better. And there are plenty of 'rock and roll' shows where you can hear the vocals. There were definitely technical difficulties.

And I definitely wouldn't classify her performance as 'rocking out'. It was lackluster.

In all fairness that's rubbish. Since when has it been a necessity to not be able to hear the singer in a rock band? Chan has one of the best voices around, but it is a low breathy voice, and does not seem to be able to compete with the band in this case. I agree that she is far more suited to a stripped down sound, and nobody is saying to stop doing the rock thing, but it is entirely fair that people should comment on it. When you go to a Cat Power show you go to hear Chan sing, and with this band and these songs that is not really happening.

[groovekid]

right on jack

[Sirenz]

Ok, did anyone see the show at the Enmore last night? Seriously disappointing. The sound was just crap

I saw catpower at the enmore on the 9th and I don't understand why everyone is complaining so much.I thought it was a really good show and I really enjoyed Chan's energetic and emotional performance and the band is probably the best she's had to accompany her... I remember the days when she had great trouble finishing a song and was howling on the floor in foetal position. She has come so far as a performer and it was joyful seeing her so happy looking.

I did think that Chan's voice needed better amplification but I think she is difficult to hear because of the quality of her voice. What makes her voice so beautiful sounding-that airy husky sound- also makes it difficult for her to cut through loud rock music very well. I think a rather strong voice is needed to be heard in rock shows.

I agree that her voice is best appreciated in an acoustic setting, especially when she sings spontaneously and experiments a bit. I don't know, I am just so happy that she finally came to Australia, I am not too fussed about the "technical troubles". Plus I felt like I had THE best seat in the enmore. I was in the first row, right in front of the part of the stage where Chan hung around the most. I was under the speaker too so I generally heard her pretty well.

[Sirenz]

BTW I took photos of Chan at the enmore so if anyone is interested click on the link below to check them out.

[Moon Pix]

Exactly. The band is too loud for her. Thats what Im saying. This is why Im not exactly lovestruck with this band myself but Im just saying that if thats what she wants to thats up to her.

Plus Ive never seen a rock show where I could here the vocals clearly. It just doesnt happen. Black Keys. Brian Jonestown Massacre. The Fall. I saw all of these groups at different venues and at not one of them could I hear a word clearly. Granted I wasnt familiar with most of the songs they were playing and so my brain didnt know what I was suppossed to be hearing but to me thats all the more proof that this is just the nature of live music.

[jackofficer]

Great photos Sirenz, very nice!

I think saying that Sydney was a great show simply because Chan was "better" than some of her previous shows is a bit of a stretch though. Honestly I would prefer a more haphazard previous show with 3 or 4 completed songs than a full current set. But look, that's just me. It's not a personal attack on Chan. I still love Chan and would always go to see her when I can, I just find it disappointing that now it seems to be more about the band and the songs than it is about her. A Cat Power show should be Chan, and if the band is making it less Chan, then they should do something about it. And hopefully they will for the next album tour.

[Tender Prey]

The show at The Forum last night was really quite brilliant.
The music before the performances was very enjoyable. Chan had on Hank, Nick, Tom, Neil, Bobby…. I have to say my favorite selection was “Moaning at Midnight – Howlin’ Wolf”.
Appaloosa was doing her interesting and humorous thing.
Mick Turner was phenomenal.
And Chan was just a beautiful free spirit. Dancing and moving across the stage floor with an air of genuine happiness. It is uplifting to see her in a state of such delight, so very uninhibited and seemingly soaking in the crowd’s enthusiastic appreciation of her simply being there in front of them.
The Dirty Delta played well and were a really tight unit.
There were some problems with the vocals. Chan turned to the mixing desk on a few occasions to gesture to turn the vocals up, and at times she was singing close to the fold backs, I am assuming because there wasn’t much volume coming through for her to hear herself. At times her vocals were hard to hear, and at other times they were quite clear, so I mean I am not going to complain. When you couldn’t hear her very strongly, one could just find the words through her interpretative movements anyway.
Overall the performance was extremely enjoyable. I have seen many gigs but this will be one to remember, simply because it was Chan in her element free, happy and beaming in spirit.

[Moon Pix]

A Cat Power show should be Chan, and if the band is making it less Chan, then they should do something about it. And hopefully they will for the next album tour.

To be honest this is why Im not really a fan of the new record. Im hoping for a different band for the next record and tour 'cause I think its pretty clear by now that this one doesnt really suit her that well. Whats weird is that The Greatest record and tour was the biggest backing group she's ever had but it was still all about Chan. I can't really figure out why this smaller group is overpowering her.

[Tomi]

Hmm... Lot of things going on here. For starters, it is theoretically possible to effectively mix a restrained singer with a loud band, but it isn't easy. A lot depends on the band's dynamics, the sound people's presence of mind (main and monitor mixers both), the acoustics of the venue, how much the singer moves onstage, etc. It's a lot easier to mix the "shouters" who don't need their mics quite as hot, but that's not really Chan Marshall's thing. Hence the feedback problems with the current configuration.

In some of the older performance clips you'll notice that the bands (whether it's Foljahn/Shelley or the Dirty Two-out-of-Three) play in a droning and non-dynamic (in a good sense) style. When the songs push to a peak of intensity, most of it is done just with her voice, and there is never really a need for her to outshout the band. Often her own guitar is the loudest thing anyway, leaving her in control of the overall dynamics. Now she has a band with a greater dynamic range, which, although potentially musically exciting, is also limiting for her as a singer. My gut feeling is that she's now in the position of following the band's dynamics, which was never the case before, even with the big (but restrained) Memphis band. Couple that with the fact that these are mostly cover tunes and I think you start to understand why people are getting the feeling that this tour "isn't all about Chan." No offense to the current band--I think they're great players, but, with the exception of Jim White, not the greatest match for Chan Marshall. That said, I think she's having fun with this tour, and it might be the kind of working holiday that's needed to keep her sharp for the next round.

It leaves me wondering what's going to be up with the next original record and tour. What I keep picturing wishfully in my head is a kind of small acoustic psycho-cabaret combo, like string bass, percussion, guitar and/or piano, with the addition of another instrumental voice (marimba, violin/cello, clarinet, accordion?) for color. A lot depends on the material. If it's more in the soul vein, I could hear a Booker T. style group, but with a lighter touch than the current band.

Here's a thought: I recently discovered the Dirty Three track "Great Waves" with Chan singing on it--from 2005, I believe?--and I am in awe of it. Chan Marshall and the Dirty Three (all three this time) as the new Cat Power could totally conquer the world.

Often her own guitar is the loudest thing anyway, leaving her in control of the overall dynamics.

Chan's guitar playing tends towards the simple. In some songs she plays one riff for the entire length of the song and its whats going on around it (her voice but also the second guitar) that creates the dynamics and changes in the songs. It wasnt untill I saw the video of her from 1998 playing "Crossbones Style" that I realised this. The thing is that Ive never made any attempt to analyse her music or the way its put together. Its just that when you watch that video its impossible not to notice that she plays one riff for the whole length of it. The chiming main riff is played by Mick Turner. He wasnt her guitar player on the Moon Pix tour though, that was Mark Moore who was in the first version of Cat Power during the Atlanta days.:)

Thanks--I didn't know that. I couldn't tell on the clips I've seen. But it was Jim White on drums, wasn't it?

[heartofgold]

I have to agree with some of what has been said here. For me the forum show on friday night probably one of the most dissapointing shows i've been to, i saw chan on later with jools and i thought this was going to be a good show her voice was stunning... but it was really boring, like has been said i also think she is more suited to a stripped back sound and something about the performance was really not there, it was the first concert (i've been to about 30+) i've ever left early to, lots of other people were saying similar things and also left early. Anyway i hope something is done about the band because i think it could have been much better chan has a great voice, but it was really spoilt.

[jackofficer]

Are any of these live 98 clips with Mick Turner on Youtube? I don't think I've ever come across them....

[Moon Pix]

Thanks--I didn't know that. I couldn't tell on the clips I've seen. But it was Jim White on drums, wasn't it?

It is. What Im always loved about his drumming is that he's not your typical rock drummer. With the exception of Jukebox you rarely hear him play the standard kick-snare-kick-snare rock n roll beat for very long. He has this reallly free style. When I saw hime play with the Dirty Three he was swinging his arms everwhere.:)

Are any of these live 98 clips with Mick Turner on Youtube? I don't think I've ever come across them....

No. They're all with Mark Moore. Im not actually sure wether Mick has ever played live with Chan.

[jackofficer]

Heard on the radio today, Chan is gonna be on the "Dools and Linda" show on Triple J, Tuesday, some time between 3 and 5.30pm. Not sure exactly what she'll be doing, could be just an interview, but maybe a tune or two also.

For non-Aussies, they often podcast the interviews, so keep an eye out here...

[notonlyicecold]

Anyone know if the UK dates are solo or with Dirty Delta Blues?

[Patrick]

All dates are with Dirty Delta Blues.

[shady lane]

As much as I enjoyed the gig at Shepherds Bush this year, I have decided not to go to Hammersmith, for a lot of these reasons. Hammersmith is a biggish place and Chan may get lost if the sound is slightly off- and its to close to the Malkmus gig.

[Miss Tasty Princess]

Just won a pair o' tix to the show this coming weekend in the ATL. Boo ya!

[Zagadka]

I'm ready for the Hollywood Bowl show on the 14th.

I've been to a half dozen Cat Power concerts, and the last time was with the DDB band. It was the first Cat Power concert for one of my friends... and she was unimpressed. The band really drowned her out, and I agree. I can dig Chan's changing styles, but the last concert, we could barely hear her.
