Just got this: >Veda Hille, Kinnie Starr and Oh Susanna are the Scrappy Bitch Tour > >(...from the Vancouver Sun.....) >"We like to scrap. We all have egos. We can all be bitches. We named it the >Scrappy Bitches tour for a reason," says Suzie Ungerleider, the Vancouver >singer-songwriter who performs under the moniker Oh Susanna. > >A relatively novel touring concept, the Scrappy Bitches Tour was designed to >showcase 3 developing female artists on one stage. The show runs an average of >three hours with each performer fronting her own 50-minute set, then standing >back & supporting the next. The women work on a show-by-show rotation, each one >taking turns at the opening, middle & closing slot on the bill. > >(....from the Georgia Straight/Vancouver........) >...there was so much talent on display that it made this closing night of Veda >Hille, Kinnie Starr & Oh Susanna's Scrappy Bitch Tour feel more like a >minifestival. Opening with a cartoonish superhero skit, bouncing on & off the >stage during each other's sets, pumping their fists in the air from the floor, >making "honoarary bitches" of their soundman & tourmanager & plying each other >with strong liquor, these 3 women created a goofy communal celebration that >entirely failed to disguise the fact that each is uniquely gifted as an artist. > >(.....from Imprint.....) >Oh Susanna opened up the evening. Playing an acoustic guitar, Susanna quickly >had the audience enthralled at her smooth voice & soothing manner. "Veda's set >is about love. My set's about killin'," smiled Susanna. Hille mesmerized the >crowd with her bold compositions & occasionally chaotic playing style, putting a >classic bent on what I've heard called "bitch rock." Starr can spin fantastic >rhythms & rhymes....with the lights down low, she walked slowly through the >crowd, sometimes stopping to close her eyes & just let the words fly. What >topped off her voice & lyrics was her movements. She glided across the floor in >her combat pants like a belly dancer & you couldn't help but feel the "vibe" as >she put it. > >US DATES: > >Fri-Sep-25 Portland OR / Kokopeli's Choice >Sat-Sep-26 Eugene OR / Sam Bond's Garage >Sun-Sep-27 Sacramento CA / Capitol Garage >Mon-Sep-28 OFF >Tue-Sep-29 San Francisco CA / CoCo Lounge >Wed-Sep-30 OFF >Thu-Oct-01 Santa Barbara CA / The Nym >Fri-Oct-02 Los Angeles CA / Meow Mix @ Garage >Sat-Oct-03 Palo Alto CA / Stanford Coffeehouse >Sun-Oct-04 OFF >Mon-Oct-05 Seattle WA / Crocodile >Tue-Oct-06 Olympia WA / Studio 321 > >more about the gals: > >KINNIE STARR VEDA HILLE OH SUSANNA >e/mail: > blister@gangland.com vedahille@aol.com ohsusanna@sympatico.ca >websites: >www.kinniestarr.com nOplace.com/veda swellinteractive.com/ohsusanna/ +==========================================================================+ | Meredith Tarr meth@smoe.org | | New Haven, CT USA http://www.smoe.org/~meth | +==========================================================================+ | "things are more beautiful when they're obscure" -- veda hille | | *** TRAJECTORY, the Veda Hille mailing list: *** | | *** http://www.smoe.org/meth/trajectory.html *** | +==========================================================================+ ------------------------------ End of trajectory-digest V2 #98 *******************************
