Neko Case
Eric Bachman
Bush Hall, 23 February 2009
I can't tell you how much I had been looking forward to this gig: not only do I worship Neko, like the velvet-voiced, scarlet goddess that she is, but I had also been devouring a preview copy of her superb new album Middle Cyclone (absolutely one of the year's best, I know it's only April, but it is) and, on top of that, her show with M. Ward at Koko back in 2006 is one of my favourite gigs ever. It was going to be tough to live up to my high expectations, and did she do it? Well, pretty much.
