Kate Nash - new album, video & 2010 tour dates
Kate Nash @ Bowery Ballroom in 2008 (more by Bao Nguyen)
Nash seems nervous, as you might if you were roadtesting an edgier new direction in front of a crowd close enough to smell your fear. But her breathlessness adds a certain resonance to songs about inadequacy and self-loathing. Some of her new material - particularly the sparkly "Do Wah Doo" - sound as if she's been inspired by Motown girl groups, others are more baffling. "I Love You More" finds her shrieking over walls of feedback. "I Know a Secret" is an unlikely but successful psychedelic odyssey about homophobia. "I Hate Seagulls" finds an unfortunate illustration when a young girl takes the "I hate being sick" line literally and vomits in front of the stage, which one hopes is not an allergic reaction to some of Nash's voyages away from her trademark narratives into proper, if slightly karaokeish, singing. [Guardian UK]The above review is from a March 7th show Kate Nash did in Leeds. Her new record, My Best Friend Is You, comes out April 20th, and she'll be coming to North America this spring for a tour opened by NYC's own Supercute! (an all-girl ukulele, piano trio & guitar that features Rachel Trachtenburg). The trip includes Bowery Ballroom on April 29th and Music Hall of Williamsburg on May 1st (Tickets go on sale at noon). She'll also supposedly be on some dates of the Lilith Fair this summer
The video for the album's first single "Do Wah Doo", the album's tracklist & all currently known tour dates are below...

Tour Dates: The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television Tour
Conan O’Brien announced a huge tour yesterday that will bring his lineup from The Tonight Show on the road to just about every major metro in the U.S., including a “headlining” MC slot at Bonnaroo 2010. The tour itself is aptly titled The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour. Check out the info over at teamcoco.com.
This is exactly what I like to see from Conan. Not only did he close out his show with a raucous musical tribute, but now he’s closing out his entire TV history with a trek across the states. I’m pretty sure that he’s laughing internally with the approach. This is clearly his way of throwing up a middle finger to the corporate bureaucracy by perfectly fulfilling on his contract while finding another fruitful avenue for his entertainment. Team Coco FTW.

Bonnaroo 2010: Conan O’Brien, Aziz Ansari, Doug Benson and More Announced
Yesterday was a big news in the comedy world with Conan O’Brien announcing that he’s taking his former lineup at The Tonight Show — namely himself, Andy Richter, and The Tonight Band with Max Weinberg — all on the road for a huge cross-country tour. Right around the same time I got this news and snagged myself a ticket for one of his dates in San Francisco, the promoters over at Bonnaroo had announced their Comedy Tent headliners for the 2010 festival. Guess who’s at the top of the bill?
The festival will welcome some of the most hilarious personalities working today, including Conan O’Brien, who not only will be performing in the Comedy Theatre, but will also be MCing the What Stage on Friday and Saturday.
Read on for the comedy lineup, which joins an already stellar music lineup announced last month.

W.A.S.P. was scheduled to play Gramercy Theatre in NYC last night, but cancelled last minute."My sons and I were waiting for the doors of the theater to open when [W.A.S.P. mainman] Blackie [Lawless] walked by in what seemed to be a foul mood. Shortly after, I was told by a person waiting on the line that the show has been cancelled. Then we found out that Blackie was at the tour bus and would sign autographs for everyone. And to his credit, he did. He signed many autographs and allowed pictures to be taken.
"Blackie was very nice to everyone but upset that the band would not be performing.
"I do not know the details but from what I overheard, the [band] was [not] at fault." [Blabbermouth] Will they show up at Starland Ballroom tonight?
Levon Helm's show at Wellmont Theatre tonight was originally scheduled during a snow storm.
Tickets go on general sale today for the Levon Helm / Willie Nelson show happening at Radio City Music Hall.
The all metal Bee Gees tribute band Tragedy is breaking up. Tonight at Bowery Ballroom is the last chance to see them.
Henry Rollins does spoken word at Irving Plaza tonight and tomorrow.
