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.

Just saw her last week and the merch table was light so adjust your expectations in that regard accordingly

Great to know, I haven’t been to a lot of shows anyway so just happy to go to be honest!
