Neko Case just confirmed she's performing with The New Pornographers...

[dcinsider]

I didn't see this touted anywhere so I tweeted at Neko and she confirmed.

She's no Die Antwoord :/

[djoz187]

YES!

[Fourthisto]

I'll buy that issue for sure!!! .... wait, what are we talking about?

[hawkingvsreeve]

WHAT OH MY FUCK

[guedita]

Wait, I assumed that she would be from the moment the lineup came out? Though I was disappointed to find out that Dan Bejar wouldn't be.

AWESOMENESS IS STILL AWESOME.

hawkingvsreeve and I will be holding hands. RIGHT?

[Bumblebee]

Her Coachella debut!!!

Now if we could also get some more female semi-regulars with Broken Social Scene.....

[sonofhal]

Why would you assume she would be? It doesn't happen very often these days.

[hawkingvsreeve]

UH, ALL SET GIRLFRIEND



Seriously I am so much more excited for them now. She never tours with them and only plays their shows in Canada. NEKO NEKO NEKO NEKO NEKO NEKO

[djoz187]

she toured a few dates with them for Challengers, saw 'em in Tucson, Bejar was there too, epic!

[faxman75]

Yum.

[sonofhal]

She did London and the Belle + Sebasiyawn ATP over here last year as well.

[concertgoer]

She also was with them at Lolla last year and during their entire summer and fall tours

[hawkingvsreeve]

Yeah I just changed their ranking to no. 1 for Saturday.

I had no idea her touring with them wasn't frequent as I've never had the opportunity to see them and they really are one of my favorite bands. I knew she was going to be with them at the SF date after Coachella. Maybe I should go to that now, too!

NEKO! NEKO!

I hope they play Letter From an Occupant. AND MASS ROMANTIC.

[gmoneyak]

Shweeeeet.. I would like a sunset timeslot @ The Outdoor Stage next.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

When I went to see them in St. Louis she had been touring with them but then she broke her leg so she just sat by the soundboard with her leg in a big cast and I was all "Sup, girl?"

[rage patton]

I heard she wasn't going to be playing with them at Sasquatch last year, so I decided I would leave early. On my way out... I noticed she was onstage with them. So I stayed and watched the rest of their set and it was awesome.

[veritaserum]

YESSSSS! Awesome news.

[IzGewd]

never gave these guys a chance. What albums should I start with?

"I cant sing with a broken leg you ******"

[HandBanana]

******* = pelican

[Miroir Noir]

Mass Romantic = officially my most anticipated non-Arcade Fire song of all Saturday now.

[malcolmjamalawesome]

The Electric Version is, without question, one of my all time favorite albums.

[Mr. Fuzz]

so gay

[guedita]

Start at the beginning with Mass Romantic. Then Electric Version. Then Twin Cinema. Those are their best.

[HandBanana]

Ive always found them kinda meh live, but then Ive never seen them with Mz Case.
I always expected an energetic technicolor sweep of power pop bliss and Ive never gotten it from them live. Kinda lacking presence and charisma.

Hopefully that changes that.

[HandBanana]

I also hope to hear "All for Swinging You Around"

[Miroir Noir]

Neko's most showy moment in their discography is probably "Letter From an Occupant." It gets closest to her "14 year old girl singing Cheap Trick in front of the mirror" fantasy that she has talked about in relation to her pariticipation with the group.
