"There’s a timelessness to their deceptively simple, distractingly pretty songs about drugs and despair and dreams (as momentary relief from insomnia)."
The September 29 Juliana & Evan show reviewed at Capital New York.
"the set is a meandering, pleasant enough meander through songs nobody bought for very good reason: because they aren't very good."
This 'meandering, pleasant enough meander' of a review is at Rock NYC.
"On the jaunty likes of 'Hospital' and 'Bit Part,' both Lemonheads tunes, they joined their voices in not-quite-perfect harmony, his resigned, foghorn bellow serving as a foil for her pained, strained -- yet somehow still gorgeous -- delivery."
Last night's Mercury Lounge show reviewed in Spinner.
The songs played at last night's Juliana & Evan show at the Mercury Lounge in NYC. Magnificent stuff and yes, they played the one he wrote about her and the one she wrote about him.

It's been confirmed that Juliana will be playing another show with Evan Dando, this time in MA at Great Scott, Allston on November 1, 2010.
Photo and following quotes from the press release for the upcoming New York shows with Evan Dando:
Juliana:
"In the past when I worked with Evan it was always in a strictly auxiliary capacity – backup singing, bass playing – but now that we will be on equal footing I think we could do a lot of damage. I’ve always thought that Evan was an underrated songwriter...his good looks and anti establishment attitude have overshadowed his skills."
Evan:
"Juliana and I first met and started playing music together when we were 19. Since then Juliana has only gotten better and better. Now it’s like playing with someone I’m a huge fan of and totally revere."
If you missed it the above pic was recently posted on Juliana's official blog.

Tickets go on sale from the venue this Friday (Sep 10) at noon local time.

A little gem has appeared on YouTube over the festive period uploaded by cathoderoy and discovered by forumites at the official board.
From a live show in 1995 there is a cover of The Jayhawks' Blue. This is followed by a rare live recording of Only Everything's epic closer You Blues, complete with nostalgic 90's grunge guitar work, and a drumkit-crashing, stagediving appearance from the much missed Jeff Buckley, who had been the support act that night.

Posted today by Stacee on the official messageboard: "Juliana will play at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston tonight at 8pm. Sorry for the late announcement -- she didn't realize it was open to the public. She'll be playing three songs backed up by a band made up of Berklee students. There will also be other students performing." |
