Yes!
He is on a picture on her twitter too. Seems to continue to play with her, so great!
I like this man

3 guitars and Chan only singing! It's quite a surprise after what she said earlier.

D'après le dernier message instagram de Chan, on peut penser que la tournée passera par Paris en décembre.

J'ai hâte qu'elle annonce ses dates européennes...

A strong hint about an Australian tour in February: https://twitter.com/triplejtheking/status/241047194361270273

The way i see it happening: North America until mid/november. Late november/december: European tour. Christmas break. February: Australian/Oceania tour. March: South america.

Voilà qui nous ferait un bien joli cadeau de Noël un peu avant l'heure!

Australia in february is confirmed: http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/musicnews/s3581892.htm

I'm getting nervous about having no news of the European Tour...

It seems that Chan's idea of making the shows special is shaping up:

2 dates have been added:

Mon 10/29/2012 Milwaukee, WI / Pabst Theater
Tue 10/30/2012 Minneapolis, MN / Mill City Nights

Go Cokelike, we need a reporter there!

This person describes herself on Twitter as a "video artist"...

I also notice that Gregg Foreman's title in the band is "musical director". Strange, isn't it? Is Chan focusing on the show as a whole and her singing, leaving the music to Gregg?

Cat Power in Australia in March:

http://www.noise11.com/news/cat-power-joins-golden-plains-2013-ballot-opens-20121004

"Golden Plains 2013 has announced first act Cat Power and opened their ticket ballot.

This is the seventh incarnation of Golden Plains, the bespoke indie festival in the gorgeous Meredith Natural Ampitheatre, and it’s retaining the trademarks: single stage, BYO, small crowd, and no commercial sponsors.

Plus, of course, the always trustworthy line-up, which will be announced in full later on in the month. But first up, they offer the faithful Cat Power.

Chan Marshall will bring her all-new band to play her classic tunes and new songs from her new album Sun.

They now announce their Subscriber Ticket Ballot, in two rounds. The first for existing subscribers and the second for new ones. You can enter the ballot here. It closes at midday Monday 22 October for old subs and 10pm on Monday 29 October for new subs.

Golden Plains Seven will take place at the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre in Victoria from March 9 to 11, 2013."

5 hours to go for the first concert in Miami!

Hope we will have some pics/videos/sounds/reviews!

For the people of Miami: Enjoy!!!...and then pleaaaase share with us!

I expect to see at least a couple of videos on youtube tomorrow.

Can't wait to have my computer back!

More chances to get Cat Power tickets:

"Look, we know how much you guys like to post photos of your cats on Instagram... so you might as well win something this time. We've got 5 pairs of tickets to give away to see Cat Power at the Hollywood Palladium on 11/8 courtesy of the fine folks at Live Nation.

Here's what you gotta do:

Post your best cat power (as opposed to Cat Power... get it? See what we did there?) photo on instagram and tag us @origamivinyl along with #OVCatPower. We'll pick 5 winners on Friday the 19th. Let the best kitty win!

Show deets: Nov 8 | Hollywood Palladium | 7:30 PM"

So, the word is that X-Ray Eyeballs from Brooklyn will be opening for Cat Power starting with the Montreal concert. So I thought I'd check out some tunes to see what I could look forward to at the shows. I know that I talk about Nico (the deceased musician) on here a lot. But I have to wonder. When Chan goes on tour does she just say, "I dont care who opens for me as long as there is a woman who looks like Nico." Have a look.



Yes, I am just being facetious, like always.

Anyways, here is a video from X-Ray Eyeballs that made me think, "Hey, not bad..." Lots of things I like: Vomiting, Records, Nude girls in a bathtub... should be a great concert!

X-Ray Eyeballs - "Crystal"

Maybe but if such is the case they wouldn't be alone because Willis Earl Beal is also supposed to be playing as "supporting act": http://www.willisearlbeal.com/tour/
Chan said in the belgian documentary that Willis Earl Beal is a friend of her. You can see him in Cherokee video.

Doesn't it remind you of something?

True, I think he was at the Ithaca concert as well.

Sorry Philadelphia people. According to catpowermusic.com this concert has been postponed and a new date will be announced later.

Be careful, if you have tickets for the Chicago concert: it seems that it has been moved from "The Riviera" to "The Vic Theatre"!

Much better.
