"i heard she just strums a bit and then walks off"

I heard you've been sleeping since 2004.

burn!

superbowl sunday eh?

lets beat a dead horse further, shall we?

fuck this 21+ bullshit

sheesh, yet another good show on Super Bowl Sunday? last year was jenny lewis, and now its Cat Power. then again, the colts are gonna blow out the Bears so maybe i'll be at this show.

One wouldnt think a Cat Power or Jenny Lewis crowd would compete with a Super Bowl crowd...but who knows...

yeah, well, i haven't been sleeping. seen tha gal too many times:
bottom of the hill, sf
knitting factory, ny 2x
irving plaza, ny
warsaw,ny
northisix, ny

and it's like playing the lottery. will the moody lil lady play a good, full set.
or will i have to sit there watching her swish her hair around
and mumble like a junkie before i get too tired to wait to see if she is gonna play another song or walk off stage.
good thing she's got a lot of hipsters who love kissin' cat power ass.

i lke her music. i buy her cds, but this lil lady shoulld get over her *cool* self.

why do you keep going if it is so hit or miss?

Actually I do think most of those shows you mentioned were before 2004 , were they not ?
There's been countless articles in the last year about the new "sober" Chan...did you miss those ?
Not saying it's going to be a Broadway show or anything and she's still her quirky self but she definitely has a new healthier attitude..
Whether you want to still be a part of it is your call I guess.

thanks for posting about this. i wouldn't have known about it otherwise.

Saw her solo last year at Southpaw (2006) and she was TERRIBLE. Apparently though, it was circa BS (before sobriety).

It looks like Sunday's show is sold out. Another show has been added on Monday (2/5). Tickets are $25 and are available at ticketweb.

sue, go ahead, blow 25 bucks plus fees to see the *post sober*
wonderful chan.
who give a shite
you have been warned

does anyone know if there will be an opener or what time she will go on approx. just trying to juggle and maximize my super bowl time

tan or boil opens on monday night. or so I've heard.

i wish i could complain either way about CP. i have never seen her live - only been mesmerized by a few of her songs. i would gladly give up a seat at the super bowl to see her swing her hair and sing a coupla notes.

I'm a big fan of Cat Power's music and I love her last album. A good friend warned me never to pay money to see her live, but since I heard she's sober now, I figured she would prove him wrong. Sunday's Cat Power show was the worst show I'd ever seen. Seriously. She would start a song, stop, start over, quit, start a new song, repeat. Many songs she would get all the way through, but only after losing track of tempo and key. Then she would "banter" with her guitarist (and the crowd) between songs for several minutes. She was rambling, barely coherent. She was slurring her words, attempting to charm us with anecdotes that went nowhere and usually made no sense. At one point (I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING!), she pointed at a two women dancing in the corner and yelled, "Look at the gays!" She laughed and followed up with, "The gays! In the hallways!" The crowd laughed at her little rhyme and then applauded! I couldn't believe it. Those women were completely mortified. And the audience was indulging this behavior like she was some sort of charming yet spoiled mentally ill nine-year-old. Yes, she has beautiful voice. But come on. She's sober now? Really? Coulda fooled me.

it was the most erratic concert i've ever seen. i was really hoping to be blown away by her show, but i left pretty disappointed. who does a show and doesn't come up w/ a setlist beforehand? and what was w/ the guitar player? was he her brother after all? and does anyone have a setlist?

Did they check ids there?
