Étant de nature optimiste, je pense qu'elle viendra en europe avant.

As far as i'm concerned (and you know how much i am), this is really bad timing: cancelling one tour and the day after giving dates for another tour but on the other side of the world:

Aller je fais partie de ceux qui pensent que la tournée européenne se fera avant la tournée australienne

The Australian Tour dates are now official: http://www.catpowermusic.com/tourdates/

Now that the Australian Tour is official, i'll repeat it one last time: the communication toward European fans is very, very badly handled. We do understand the cancellation of the tour due to health problems but seing another tour being organized while we are still waiting for a rescheduled European tour is a bit hard to swallow.
I won't complain further because i know that Chan has a lot more important things to deal with and i wouldn't want to add any more stress to her current situation (and that's why i'm writing this here and not on her facebook page or on Matador web site or anywhere else). That being said, if somebody in Chan's inner circle read this: we can deal with the cancellation but we'd like to know if we must prepare to wait for 6 months or a year or if it's only a matter of weeks (which seems very unlikely now).

It seems like at almost all of the recent tour dates, Chan made a point to say something like, "I'm a grown-ass woman. I want to fucking thank you for coming!"

Here at this link to reviews of all over her albums:

http://www.treblezine.com/features/340.html

For the one for Sun:

"As of 2012, Chan Marshall is a grown-ass woman of 40, and a good listen through Sun, her ninth album, certainly reflects that."

I wonder if she came across these reviews?

She probably did. Remember how Chan reacted to the first shows very mixed reviews?
We must be careful of what we write!

January 22, 2013 - Cat Power at The Observatory, Santa Ana, CA.

Presumably, a solo performance, since she mentioned rehearsing for one on her instragram.

I suppose that there is a lucky one who is going to see his 2nd show almost in a row...
I won't write that it isn't fair (oops did i?) but i'll think it...

From Matablog: new US dates!

In January:
22 – Santa Ana, CA – Observatory
24 – Denver, CO – Gothic Theatre
25 – Dallas, TX – South Side Music Hall
26 – Austin , TX – ACL @ Moody Theatre
29 – New York, NY – Terminal 5
30 – Philadelphia, PA – Electric Factory

Are you planning on going to Philly?
This show was already scheduled before the cancellation, so will it be a solo show or with the full band?

Matdor also "tweeted" that there were more dates on the way.

Hmmm, maybe I'll wait until I see the rest of the dates then. No idea if these will all be solo shows or not. We need more information. But, yeah I'll go if its the closest one.

I thought It could have been interesting to analyze the sizes of these venues but i can't jump to any conclusion.

The Gothic Theatre, capacity: 999
Santa Anna, Observatory, capacity: 550/300
Dallas, TX – South Side Music Hall: 400/1500
Austin , TX – ACL @ Moody Theatre: 2700
New York, NY – Terminal 5: 3000
Electric Facrtory: 2500/3000

Bon, là, je suis écoeurée... Et nous alors?!

Rien à ajouter.
