An interview with Emily Haines | part 1 (no blindfold)
BrooklynVegan interviewer Christos Mountzouros had the chance to speak with Emily Haines over the phone the other day. Here's a preview of their conversation -- it's especially relevant to the short solo tour Emily kicks off at Joe's Pub in NYC tonight...
BrooklynVegan Christos: Another Joe’s Pub show had to be added and they're both sold out. How exciting is that?
Emily: That’s good! I’ve always wanted to play Joe’s Pub!
BrooklynVegan Christos: Are you really going to be playing blindfolded? Isn’t that hard?
Emily Haha, no I’m not. I did that once and I keep getting asked about it.
BrooklynVegan Christos: Yeah it’s like on their site that you’re going to be playing blindfolded.
Emily Are you serious?
BrooklynVegan Christos: I guess someone got their press screwed up somewhere at some point.
Emily That’s really funny. Yeah that would be hard, I did that a show in San Francisco. But I’m playing with a rhythm section as well.

Stay tuned for part two. Christos' last interview was with Think About Life.

that album of hers - it's just brutal... she sounds like an uninspired, self-important pseudo-cat power.

I tried to sell a ticket outside of the early show but no one wanted. too bad I didnt read this before hand.

i went to the second show and i thought it was great. what was with the drunk guy in the back calling the bassist a mick? weird and rude.
Posted by nicool | September 20, 2006 5:05 PM
yeah, that was odd. the bassist was all business regardless. he didn't even crack a smile when emily was fucking with him.
