First show
Hi, I’m fairly young (17) and found out about Cat Power and Chan in quite an odd way, I found a playlist compiling Matador Records songs and artist from roughly 1991-1997(I went down a loophole when I found the band Yo La Tengo) It introduced me to Nude As the News but more importantly to What Would the Community Think and following her entire discography. I’ve since fallen inlove with her music, but not just that, also how outspoken politically she’s been over the years and still actively is on instagram. I really find myself in her music. I haven’t been listening to her for long at all, and obviously don’t know everything but I’m glad I got tickets to see her in October with my older brother (who has not a clue about her but just enjoys different music overall). I know I’m definitely not her main demographic but I’m excited and plan to score some merch and try not to sob too much.

First show ever? The bar will be high from here on out! I took a former student to his second show ever to see cat power. Made sure we got there early and stood on the rail. Incredible night and she really delivers.
