… my lover’s heart or mine will break
Hello,
Kentucky came and went and now we’re Chicago bound.
Great crowd last night at Southgate house. A few familiar faces and few new ones too. It was especially nice to see Chris from The Essex Green attending. We dedicated ‘Away with murder’ to him. That song was written when both bands were touring the states in the winter of 2006/07.
I didn’t see too much of Newport Kentucky but there was a beautiful sun set to be seen and I ate some fantastic sushi. Oh and I didn’t notice there had been a change in time zones which meant I was running at a slightly different pace from everyone else. Apologies if I was a bit weird when talking to you guys after the show.
Big big thanks to very sweet Oblio boys for playing with us the last few nights. We enjoyed having you along. Best of luck with your record.
In Kentucky I mainly listened to:
Sin City – The Essex Green
Pretty Young Thing – Michael Jackson
That’s us/wild combination – Arthur Russell
Oh Dana – Big star
4am – Cherry ghost
Walking on a dream -Empire of the sun
Steve I believe you asked for last nights set list.

Hey Tracyanne and gang… thanks so much for the shout out last night. It was WAY sweet to get a dedication… I felt like I was glowing.
The show was FANTASTIC despite your bus-related fatigue. You sounded so great!
The new record is brilliant and in permanent home rotation…
Don’t you dare skip Cinci (even if it ain’t no Pittsburgh) on any future US tours or I’ll be mad at all of you!
Lots of love … XOXO
-Chris

Thanks for the set list, Tracyanne!
And thanks again for a really great show – I brought along a couple friends who weren’t familiar with your stuff. They loved it! As did I. You sounded FANTASTIC. Have a good show at The Metro tonight and enjoy the rest of the tour!

The show in Newport was fabulous. Your current tour is no doubt grueling, so thanks for your hard work. You have added significantly to the joy in my life.

The Set List is great! Is it the same for every show on the tour, or does it change from night to night?

Hey all,
Say you in Chicago. Set was great! Metro too hot; almost passed out but saw all of show. Who’s the guitarist/percussionist in the back? He’s hot!
See you in Dallas

You were fabulous at Southgate! I never thought you guys would ever come back to Cinci. I’m gonna try to see you all in Austin. What was the mishap with the bus? Hope it wasn’t too horrific. Enjoy the states!

saw you in chicago.
saw you in minneapolis.
see you in montreal.
you have now knocked morrissey right out of first place of my favourite bands. you are all brilliant musicians, and the more i learn about you the more that that is an undeniable truth.
