PJ Harvey & John Parish @ Stubb’s in Austin – March 21, 2009 (zenametalz)
PJ Harvey

In a rare US appearance, Polly Jean Harvey took the stage looking like a straight-jacketed geisha, and delivered a set of mostly new material – at turns crying, laughing and screaming – one minute delivering lines like “there’s no more laughter in the garden,” with a tiny, childlike voice and the next, snarling “stick it up your fucking ass,” with an empowered roar. The crowd responded with riotous screams and applause, and she humbly, quietly thanked them each time. When she announced that the next song would be their last, the audience loudly protested, and she tried to explain that everyone was being kept to strict time slots. To the chants of “come back soon,” she had no reply. -[Creative Loafing]

PJ Harvey & John Parish playned Stubb’s in Austin for SXSW on Saturday, March 21st, a performance that was met with mostly positive reviews.

The pair (with full band) will play two more stateside shows, including this Thursday (3/26) at The Fillmore At Irving Plaza in NYC. The dates, in advance of A Woman A Man Walked By, out March 31th on Island Records, prelude Harvey’s UK/Europe tour in April and May.
