Holy Mackinaw, what a performance. Amazing show tonight at the Nokia Theater by Miss Neko Case. Hot set, the new songs were utterly brilliant and the older ones were huge crowd pleasers. Note to the Nokia Theater staff who walked around outside before the show "warning" patrons about taking pictures; Stop being jagoffs and don't try and blame Neko for YOUR policies on cameras and pictures. Johnny has seen her before, she's said outright on a few occasions she doesn't mind cameras being used. She said in Cleveland one night she was OK with video cameras. Look at YouTube for heaven's sake, look what we post here. Nokia Theater staff, they weren't all that, the concert and the facility itself, yeah, great stuff. The song 'Red Tide' was exceptionally exceptional as was Johnny's all time favorite 'Star Witness' and 'Prison Girls' with all the backing vocals, beyond the delightful Kelly Hogan sounded big and bold. Kelly Hogan you ROCK, your stage presence is second to none. Mr. Rauhouse, your steel guitar on 'Deep Red Bells' was like nothing Johnny had ever heard before. A tip of the hat to you sir.
So, now you're saying, I missed Neko this time Johnny, when can I make up for this horrible error in judgement? Well citizen Neko's coming to Jersey City....FACT! She'll be performing at the All Points West festival July 31-August 2nd. Neko will perform Saturday August 1st along with The Arctic Monkeys and The Ting Tings. Friday night July 31st is The Beastie Boys and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Sunday August 2nd brings Coldplay and Echo and the Bunnymen.
Time for Jersey City, After Dark
