Neko Case Brings "Red Tide" To Fallon

thumbnail icon: Neko Case Brings "Red Tide" To Fallon

After topping the Amazon Editors' Best Albums Of 2009 list, Neko Case took a victory lap, performing a loose, pitch-perfect "Red Tide" for Jimmy Fallon last night. We've mentioned previously how good Case and her band sound live, so even though Middle Cyclone came out last March, she might as well prove she can sound great on every Late Night program. (And, in the process, make a case -- sorry -- that bad Late Night sound can't always be blamed on the techs.)

Middle Cyclone is out via ANTI-.

Neko Case has always been really good, i'm glad shes getting some attention.

Speaking of being awesome I really want a New pornagraphers CD to come out soon. Serious good ban: AC Newman, NEko Case and destroyer all in the same band. Awesome

Man I love Neko Case. How awkward was that crowd though? Awkward off-beat hand-clapping all around.

I never knew that Josh Groban was such a talented drummer.

Love. This. Woman.

And I second a request for a new New Pornographers album.

How underrated is she if she debuts at #3 on the Billboard chart?

wow, so sweet - nothing like the F bomb dropping sour puss we saw at the Wellmont 2 days prior. Cut her show 3 songs short and left without introducing the band or saying goodbye. Oh, and no encore. Star in decline....

I've seen her twice in the last 12 months and she was nothing if not charming. Maybe she had a bad night. No need to start with doomsday prophesies about her star fading.
Was it your first concert?

Star in decline? Based on one bad show? You obviously were not at The Beacon Theatre on Mon night. She wowed everyone playing 24 flawless songs. Joey & Jiohn from Calexico were great openers too, rearranging/stripping down their songs. Great all around show. As for AC Newman and The New Pornographers, you can keep them. They bore me. Neko's solo stuff is way better.

Neko seems to attract dudes with gnarly beards for her backing band... and Garth Hudson wasn't even on stage.
