 The Cat Power show originally scheduled for August 1st at The Warfield has been cancelled due to scheduling conflicts.

And over at Chan's twitter/instagram account:



Tickets were only $40!!

No one is a prophet in his own land...
And the last concert there was 2 years ago?
Sometimes this business is a real mystery to me. You can sell all your tickets in one city and in another one you have to cancel due to poor sales.

So, I am going to assume from the hashtags that a winter Asia tour is in the works. She lists China, India, Japan, Korea and Hong Kong. Cool!

Obviously, there should be a rather long break (1 month at least?) after the north european tour this week, but i wonder what is the plan for the next few months...

She writes on her twitter/instagram:

 WORKIN TILL MID AUG. WILL BE RESTED TWO WEEKS AFTER THAT, WHEN I HAVE TO TOUR AGAIN.

 But where?

It means that there would be unannounced Cat Power concerts 3 weeks before the event?
I suppose that these concerts will be official very soon.

Yes indeed, kind of strange...
The "activism & community" project she mentionned on Instagram seems to be very ambitious and interesting too (a good woman,definitely). Many things goin' on...

This is ambitious! I like it!

 Multimedia artist Doug Aitken's latest "Happening" is called "Station to Station". It's referred to as a "Nomadic Happening", because throughout September, a train will make 10 stops between New York and San Francisco, and each stop will feature a site-specific Happening featuring a variety of artists working in a diverse set of media. Today, more artists and schedule details have been announced.

Of the 10 dates, it appears Cat Power will only play at 3 of them. 

9/18/13 - Lamy, NM

The site of the opening scenes of David Bowie’s The Man Who Fell to Earth, Lamy is a desolate town with a population of approximately 220 people and a single room train station. Station to Station will merge with this desert landscape to create a unique happening. Performers include Cat Power, The Handsome Family, Nite Jewel, THEESatisfaction, and others to be announced.

9/21/13 - Winslow, AZ - La Posada

Located 35 miles from James Turrell’s Roden Crater, Winslow exists as an underground art community that was created through the passage of the rails and Route 66. The La Posada, built by the Santa Fe Railway, will feature performances by Cat Power, Cold Cave, Giorgio Moroder, THEESatisfaction, and others to be announced. Ed Ruscha gave Station to Station a recipe for a cactus omelet, and Chef Leif Hedendal will prepare the omelet for 200 people. This edible artwork will be served only in Winslow, and the recipe itself will be used to make a poster.

9/24/13 - Barstow, CA - Skyline Drive-In

In Barstow, Station to Station will move into a large, high-desert drive-in movie theater. At dusk, the entire grounds of the two-screen drive-in will be activated by experimental music and performances that will merge with moving images projected on the drive-in screens. The Skyline Drive-In will feature musical performances by Beck, Cat Power, No Age, Cold Cave, Lucky Dragons, and others to be announced. Peter Coffin’s UFO will fly over the Barstow happening. The design, based on popular depictions of UFO's, is covered by panels that hold 3,500 brightly colored LED lights that are controlled by a Pharos computer system and capable of displaying video.

Cat Power will perform in a town with a population of 220 people... 

That's a funny project! Too bad that so few people will see it but i like the idea.

The band in Oslo driving in a van, short but neat!!

Looks like Cat Power is now confirmed for only 9/18/13, Lamy, NM and 9/21/13, Winslow, AZ and no longer part of the 9/24/13, Barstow date.

We won't count this as a part of the tour but Chan sung yesterday with Beth Ditto at Malgosia Bela's wedding.
