a Juliana Hatfield fan site
Hatfield laughs and rolls her eyes. “Have you ever seen that movie Leaving Las Vegas?” she asks. “Evan and I are kind of like Elisabeth Shue and Nicolas Cage.” Dando nods, then asks, “Wait, are you a hooker?”
Juliana and Evan interviewed inbetween their recent New York shows in an article at New York Magazine.
A roundup of the latest links for the Juliana & Evan shows:
There's a nice set by Andrew at Cheap and Plastic covering both shows, including the merch - a Juliana & Evan mug anyone?
Other photosets from the September 30 show can be found from georgia.kral at Flickr, waydown_watson at Flickr, and at QRO Magazine.
There's also a blog review and photos at {City Girl} Knows.
The YouTubeification continues too. Here's When You Loved Me from September 30, part of spiketop's marathon documentation of the shows, which has now spread to the second night.
The entire Juliana & Evan show from Wednesday September 29, 2010 at New York's Mercury Lounge can now be viewed on YouTube thanks to Spiketop's arm muscles of steel.
"This is explicitly about having sex with you," Dando mumbled, prefacing the hit "It's About Time."
"I didn't know that until we were rehearsing recently," Hatfield quipped, making light of it. "But I never did it."
"That's true," he said.
The second Juliana & Evan show at New York's Mercury Lounge reviewed with photos at The Village Voice.
A couple of tracks were added from Wednesday's set to last night's Juliana & Evan show at the Mercury Lounge:
Groundhog Day - thanks again to Andrew for the photo and sharing this list via This is the Sound.
"On tracks off her latest release, 2010's Peace & Love, Hatfield sang diary-entry-esque lyrics about "butterflies landing on my pillow" ('Butterflies') and "missing your dreams" ('What Is Wrong'). They were sometimes abstract, sometimes intensely confessional, as in her ode to her singing partner, 'Evan.'"
Last night's Juliana & Evan show in New York reviewed (with photos) at Spin.
"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.
With thanks to Andrew for the photo and for sharing this list via This Is The Sound.
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.

Forumites at Juliana's messageboard (which sadly remains unavailable for new members- UPDATE Jun 2010 -the forum is now gone) have spotted a recent upload to the repository of almostcertainlycopyrightinfringement and oftenwrongaspectratiovideo, otherwise known as YouTube. A concert from Gibson's in Tucson, AZ from 1997 is now available in its entirety either from links on the uploader's channel or via the individual links below:
I Got No Idols / Outsider Fade Away / Dying Proof Fleur De Lys / Spin The Bottle What Have I Done To You My Sister / Supermodel My Darling The Unheard Music / Get Off For The Birds / Live On Tomorrow Bottles And Flowers Trying Not To Think About It / Addicted Get Your Head Off My Shoulder / Dumb Fun
