Mon 7 May – Cat Power, Dexter Romweber


On paper this has all the making of a great show. Reports tell us that Chan Marshall has cleaned up to the point that shambolic Cat Power gigs are a thing of the past. Also for this tour she has assembled The Dirty Delta Blues Band which consists of four players with interesting curriculums. They are:
Judah Bauer on guitar (The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Greg Foreman on keys ( The Delta 72), Jim White on drums (The Dirty Three) and Eric Papparozzi on bass (Lizard Music - no, ok I hadn’t heard of him or this group either!. Apparently they released their first album in 1995 – sample title: She's A Very Very Fat Fat Weirdo- nuff said?!

Marshall takes the stage with a warm smile and a ‘Ciao Bologna' and looks hot too in tight jeans and black jacket over a black tank top, hair tied back, heavy mascara – in short, like a much sexier elder sister of Avril Lavigne.

All this bodes well so why was this such a flat show?
