This was my first time at the venue and now I'm just itching to catch one of Jon Brion's friday night showcases. It's such a great club and the audience is SOOO attentive. Apparently, the owner is a stickler for making the music the primary focus; he doesn't tolerate people talking during the show or using cellphones. She performed for around one hour, doing two songs from her first album _Drive_ (drive and sway) a couple covers (i think. one was Neil Young's "winterlong") and a gaggle of tunes from the new album _Beautiful Collision_. She had two aussie's named Ben accompanying her on bass and on guitar/harmonica while she played guitars (acoustic and electric), piano, and harmonica. She also had a drummer from a local group called Minibar backing her up (i don't know how they hooked up, but i did note on Largo's schedule that Minibar had played there the night before). Here are the rest of the dates for her west coast minitour according to her website.

"Just released"?? Try July 18, 2001 as the release date. Perhaps you mean the new live cd they're releasing now. ~Chaps Washington, DC ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2002 10:21:28 -0700 From: Steve VanDevender Subject: Re: Rasputina John Gray writes: > Rasputina is Grand!

Can't say it's not true, though. :P Given that the flyers here bill Rasputina as "positive goth" and "happy depressing music" this sounds less like snobbery than mood-setting. The place they're playing here (Gerlinger Lounge) is a nice lounge in an old campus building. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2002 10:35:52 -0700 (PDT) From: Neile Graham Subject: Re: Rasputina On Thu, 17 Oct 2002, Steve VanDevender wrote: > John Gray writes: > > Rasputina is Grand!

It might also have a lot to do with the fact that they were with a major label (Columbia) and playing fairly large and well-known venues, and now they're on a tiny label and playing smaller venues. Here they've gone from the Crocodile Cafe, which at least is famous, to the obscure Paradox Theatre (which is far more convenient for me so I think I'll finally be seeing them live after missing them for years). - --Neile - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- neile@drizzle.com / neile@sff.net......http://www.sff.net/people/neile The Ectophiles' Guide to Good Music ......... http://www.ectoguide.org ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2002 19:55:07 -0000 From: "neal copperman" Subject: Re: Rasputina Steve VanDevender said: > John Gray writes: > > Rasputina is Grand!

For great entertainment, check out http://www.rasputina.com/jokes.html You can see tons of examples of Melora's on-stage patter, which I think would disprove she is a snob but rather has a kean, twisted sense of humor. When I hit random, here is the first quote that showed up: ""May God bless our show. This will only take a minute, and when our mom picks us up after the show, we're going to spit in her face, because you taught us that that is how to say I love you.""" neal np: Josh Grobin - Josh Grobin ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2002 13:24:52 -0700 (PDT) From: Craig Gidney Subject: Re: Rasputina My favorite is: "I am the reluctant leader of the Bowel Movement." - --- neal copperman wrote: > Steve VanDevender > said: > > > John Gray writes: > > > Rasputina is Grand!
