New Pornographers -Neko +Kathryn, this tour
"Vancouver-based indie rockers the New Pornographers will release their third album, Twin Cinema, on August 23rd. Fans will get a taste of new tunes, and a reworked lineup, on a mini-tour this month. While the band enjoys a large arsenal of players -- sometimes upwards of eight -- the newest member has a familial connection: Kathryn Calder, who sings and plays piano, is also frontman A.C. Newman's niece.
"Neko [Case] can't make the June shows, so Kathryn's going to be the girl," Newman says. "So we're going to be kind of like the Fiery Furnaces -- the relatives band [laughs].""
Indie rockers will preview "Cinema" on tour (Thx Colleen)

I almost cried when I read that this morning. The New Pornographers are slated to come back on December 13th at Webster Hall... supposedly with Neko as Kathryn's band, Immaculate Machine will be opening for them. She better be good.

only this fall, Dan rarely tours with NP, in fact i believe this is his first full tour w/ them outside of the Pac NW?

my bad about those tour dates, i'm dyslexic... just got back from the show
bad news: kathryn is not neko.
good news: damn good album preview. they played a craplod of songs from their past two albums. ac newman still sounds like ac newman. kurt was awesome. still a great show.

hold up.. so who was with the band other than AC Newman?

The entire touring band was there except no Neko and plus Kathryn. Newman, Thurier (keyboards), Collins (bass), Dahle(drums), Fancey (geetar). It was good show...kind a poor sound though, especially on the vocals.
