Livestream show! With a band! This month!
Juliana returns to her internet concerts on Wednesday October 20, 2021 at at 6pm EDT (that’s 11pm BST, midnight CEST 😬) on Q Division’s YouTube channel.
Writing on her official site:
I will play electric guitar and sing, Chris Anzalone will play drums, and Mike Oram will play bass and sing some harmonies. This is the lineup that was set to go on the road before we had to pull out of the tour with Soul Asylum and Local H.
We are all fine (thanks for asking!) and we will be playing an assortment of songs chosen from the buffet of my vast, decades-spanning repertoire.
So no full album show this time, but the pay what you want deal remains with donations being accepted at julianahatfield.com

Confiriming her announcement during last week’s livestream for In Exile Deo, Juliana will be back at Q Division Studios on Saturday May 8, 2021 at 4pm EDT to perform songs from the new album Blood.
Writing on her official website:
This show will be a bit different than the previous ones in that I will not be performing a whole album start to finish. I will play a handful of songs from the "Blood" album, but I will also pick a selection of songs from my vast decades-spanning repertoire that all somehow touch on the idea of blood. ("Anemia" will be one of them.)
As ever, this is a pay what you want affair with donations accepted via julianahatfield.com
They come around so quickly, these livestreams.
Juliana, writing at her official site:
For this third installment I will perform, at Q Division Studios, my “Only Everything” album, start to finish, by myself with an electric guitar and a loop pedal, which will enable me to play some guitar solos over some looped chord progressions (trust me, it'll be fun). It will be broadcast via the Q Division YouTube channel .
The scheduled time is 4pm EST on February 21, 2021. That's the same time of day as before (9pm GMT, 10pm CET) but a different day of the week (it's a Sunday) just to keep us alert.

The solo electric with loop pedal feel will bring back memories for those of us who attended Juliana's European shows in 2006. Check out Carsten and Lieve's excellent photos from back then:
Released by Juliana today on SoundCloud, here's 6 minutes of early home demos for what would become Weird.
Full Frontal with Samantha Bee:
Sam and the Full Frontal correspondents use the power of the “Wayne’s World” dream sequence to experience all the possible outcomes of Election Day: ranging from “excellent!” to “extremely less excellent”! Featuring Juliana Hatfield.
Shipping in May and screenprinted based on orders received, both shirts are now available at American Laundromat Records.
These two new designs are by Sandrine Pagnoux and based on Stacee Sledge's great photo from Juliana's Nashville show in January 2020.
John P. Strohm, writing today for Talkhouse about "the 'demonic' 1970s Chevy cargo van that carried Blake Babies across America":
Juliana always drove, because she believed that she had a psychic connection with The Van and she could will it to stay on the road. We had a boom box that ran on batteries, but often we just rode in silence as Juliana looked straight ahead, jaw clenched, occasionally muttering insults to the van when it made its strange noises or if any indicator lights came on. The “check engine” light remained on pretty much always after we left New England.
Sunshine Boys - the three-piece Chicago band which includes Freda Love Smith on drums, have announced their second album with a new single Infinity Girl and a crowdfunder at Indiegogo.

American Laundromat Records, announcing a return of the fabulous 1993 Blake Babies compilation album:
We are beyond excited to reissue this fantastic Blake Babies collection on vinyl. It's always been a favorite and we worked with John, Freda and Juliana on every aspect of the reissue.
Our good friend and long-time collaborator Sean Glonek at SRG Studios handled remastering, and Carl Saff in Chicago cut metal. Vinyl was pressed by hand at Burlington Record Plant in Burlington, VT. The artwork has been recreated from the original Mammoth art but with a little twist thanks to the skill and creativity of award-winning designer, Aaron Tanner of Melodic Virtue. We also included the liner notes and photos from the original CD booklet as a newly-designed inner sleeve. We're very proud of this reissue and hope you enjoy it.
The scheduled release date is March 2019 and orders are being taken now at:
There are also t-shirts available at the same link. American Laundromat say:
The official Blake Babies T-Shirt design is from a drawing John Strohm did 20+ years ago. Our good friend Lonny Unitus, who is an amazing illustrator, recreated John's drawing for screenprinting purposes and added the Nicely, Nicely typography. It's an exclusive design and will only be available for a limited time.
