Richard Hawley

what can I say? Absolutely amazing voice. Chan Marshall on great form, looked as though she was enjoying it all. Quite a bit off Jukebox, some from The Greatest, a few I didnt recognise. Live sounded rawer, heavier, nervier - occasionally it felt like watching a trapped, damaged feral animal, chan wears her pain like aural psoriasis somehow she conveys the weary angry self-destruction of internalised desolation.

There was a reinterpretation of 'lived in bars', a joyous 'aretha, sing one for me', but no 'living proof'

She finished by milking the adoration, crushing cream chrysantheum stems to her face, crushing the petals, before teasingly throwing them one at a time into the crowd. The room hung heavy with the heady perfume of flowers.

Think playing Manchester this week - get yourself over.

Think it must have been cocks in because there was mention that they were wearing clothes but no details as yet

and if cocks were out cats was probably kicking herself that she left her sketchbook at home

When ever I get drawn into discussions on clothing ... say it quietly threads-with-no-name or lack of clothing I get into big trouble.

But I will confirm, the band were clothed bit of a rock-chick thing going on with Chan ... but difficult to see because unlike Hawley gigs with small women in high-heels crowding the front, the view was blocked by big blokes with wide hair.


boyhoy? was this when he threatened to play live with nothing on but his guitar??

No, it's how he walks around in general!
