Cat Power played Brisbane’s Tivoli Theatre last night. It was awesome.
I’m never sure if music I fell in love with in the 90s converts to today but I can tell you this Cat Power translates – with amazingly fragile raw soulfulness.
Having heard tales of her rather mercurial performances, I did spend the first 5 minutes reassuring myself all items of clothing were securely attached to her person and there seemed to be no reasons for her to flee the stage, camp out under pool tables and the like
Highlights for me was a spectacular cover of Boys Next Door song Shivers and an absolutely epic Angelitos Negros (photo taken during this number).
In a step that wooed the entire crowd, Chan wiped out a bunch of roses that was distributed among the audience and received the title sexiest woman alive from the audience.
A quick visit to iTunes or your local music store will acquaint you with the sounds of Cat Power. If you haven’t already, check her out.
