Jackie, Dressed In Cobras
Did a show with the guys from Lions In The Street on Friday. They put on a solid and rocking set. Looking forward to working with them again in the future.

Went to see The New Pornographers play at the Plaza Club last night.
We arrived just before Immaculate Machine took the stage. The Victoria three piece did a nice job with their catchy riffs and harmonies. The last time I saw them perform, Brooke was singing and playing guitar while holding himself up on crutches. The trio sang part of their songs in french as they recently put out a french EP, consisting of selected songs from their previous releases.
The New Pornographers came on and started off their set with Sing Me Spanish Techno. A.C. Newman and crew sounded very tight as a unit. Drummer Kurt Dahle was sporting a funny Hitler-esque moustache. He was quite entertaining to watch, throwing his drumsticks in the air in-between beats and having a huge smile on his face the entire time. It was hilarious when he was drumming and singing along to Execution Day while doing so with a cigarette in his mouth.
Kathryn Calder has a strong voice and presence, and did a great job filling in for Neko Case's vocals. I thought the harmonies by Kathryn and Kurt sounded awesome.
They came out for their encore and didn't know what to play so they took some audience requests. A.C. also discussed the unusual early curfew time due to the dance club night after the show and mentioned they were gonna play right until curfew, even if they didn't know enough songs to play.
Some other highlights for me during the 1hr 15min set included The Bleeding Heart Show, The Jessica Numbers, Twin Cinema and Miss Teen Wordpower.
After the show, we picked up a special NP limited edition live album they were selling. A.C. Newman said that only 1000 copies of the album were made and joked that if we wanted, we can stock up on this collectors item and sell them on Ebay.
