Neko Case - Live at Spaceland

Excellent Audience Recording (8.5 of 10) @HQvbr

Neko made her name when she sang several songs on the New Pornographers album Mass Romantic before going solo, firstly with her band Her Boyfriends, before perhaps gaining a little more confidence and continuing comeletely under her own name. Though the Pornographers were an indie-pop style group, formed more to allow each member to gain a little from playing with each other more than anything, her own music is much more country than anything else. 2006 brought us her album Fox Confessor Brings The Flood, and with it many, many plaudits for her songwriting style. Anyway...this is rather younger than that as you've noticed, though I'm sure you'll enjoy it anyway.

Neko Case is an American alternative country singer-songwriter, best known for her solo career and her contributions as a member of the Canadian indie rock group The New Pornographers.

Case recorded and toured for several years as 'Neko Case & Her Boyfriends' before switching to just her name. She primarily performs her own material, but also performs and has recorded cover versions of songs by artists such as Loretta Lynn, Tom Waits, Nick Lowe, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Randy Newman, Queen, Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Hank Williams. She frequently infuses humorous narratives into her live sets.

The album "Fox Confessor Brings the Flood" was released on March 7, 2006. Recorded over the course of two years as Case worked on the live "The Tigers Have Spoken" and continued to play with The New Pornographers. Critics hailed the record not only for Case's trademark vocals but also her use of stark imagery and non-standard song structures. "Fox Confessor Brings the Flood" wound up on many "Best of 2006" lists, such as No.1 on the Amazon.com music editors' picks and no. 2 on NPR's All Songs Considered. The album debuted at no. 52 on the Billboard Top 200 albums list.

Case was honored as the Female Artist of the Year at the Plug Independent Music Awards on February 2, 2006.

The new album "Middle Cyclone" is being released today, March 3rd.
