Neko Case - 2009 Tour Dates (Beacon Theatre)

Neko Case @ All Points West 2009 (more by Chris La Putt)

“Without doubt, Neko Case was one of the highlights of this year’s Lollapalooza. Prior to her Sunday set, I wasn’t really sure how she’d come across in the music festival setting. So much of her material is thoughtful and intimate and suited for venues that allow it to shine, not a huge grassy field filled with hot, sweaty drunk people.

Somehow, though, Case managed to make it work wonderfully.

As soon as she started playing the Budweiser Stage at 4:30, it was clear the sound was 100 percent on target and that the set would be a welcome change of pace. She played a variety of songs from her latest record, Middle Cyclone – including “This Tornado Loves You,” “I’m an Animal,” The Pharaohs” and the marvelous, jangly single “People Got a Lotta Nerve” – in addition to back catalog favorites such as “Maybe Sparrow” and “Deep Red Bells.” Case’s clear, pure voice couldn’t have sounded better, and she was charming and down-to-earth throughout – no doubt one of the classiest acts on this year’s bill.” [Chicago Examiner]

Neko Case has started booking some fall shows in the United States. One of those will take place at NYC’s Beacon Theatre on November 16th with Joey & John of Calexico opening.
