a Juliana Hatfield fan site
The Juliana Hatfield Three played the Tractor Tavern in Seattle last Wednesday.
Lol @ the flyer. What a marvellous thing.
In case you haven't seen it elsewhere, here's Stacee Sledge's cool video of a guitar solo bit in President Garfield:

From the session on April 15, 2014, solo acoustic versions of 'Waiting For You' and 'Bette Davis Eyes'
"Minor Alps" sans Juliana != Minor Alps. Hmmph. Still great though.
Also, from the same session see Always Love.
Not sure I'm ever going to understand why anyone chooses not to live in the moment by filming an entire show, particularly with a camera in the face of a performer, but hey. You can see more videos from Friday's Shacklewell Arms show on the YouTube.
There are a couple of online reviews from the London shows:
Ben Walsh, with a lukewarm response for The Independent:
The alt-rock fortysomething duo major in mellow (perhaps too mellow) melodies and their soft (sometimes twee) sound recalls She & Him, George Harrison and Teenage Fanclub. The American pair keep their lyrics and sentiments simple and habitually sing in unison. Mostly their delicate vocals work nimbly in harmony but sometimes you'd wish one of them would wrestle control.
A more enthusiastic article on Sunday's show at The Islington by Joe Hoffman for The Upcoming:
Minor Alps, a duo consisting of Juliana Hatfield and Matthew Caws, perform music reminiscent of Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, and even Neil Young, with a twist of country and rock. The band had great chemistry while performing onstage at The Islington, with wonderful vocal harmonies and acoustic guitar, in front of a small, peaceful crowd. Throw in a little bit of Korg synth and you get some Bon Iver-esque influence that shows a more creative and artistic side to Minor Alps.
Just when we thought the Minor Alps promotional period was over, this appears out of the blue.
The video stars French actors Julie Gayet and Philippe Rebbot.
It might get some attention outside of the julianadasurf fanbase, particularly in France, where Julie Gayet has been in the news a bit recently.
Gorgeous video.
UPDATE: DIY says Minor Alps are "set to play their first European shows this spring". So there's that too.
Recorded on November 22 last year, this WFUV session with Minor Alps is being broadcast tonight at 9PM Eastern.
You can listen to the audio including between-song interviews with Matthew and Juliana at wfuv.org.
