— MINOR ALPS (@minoralps) November 21, 2013I don't think this was previously announced.
Thanks as ever to David Young for sharing his photos here from both of Juliana's shows last week.
UPDATE - The full photo sets are now archived here:
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. Arty farty but still cool angle alert in the following clip of Rain from September 29 by pilmgrimsprogress, who has more of the same at YouTube. This is followed by 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.

"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.'"

"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.

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.
Due to "overwhelming demand" Juliana is now scheduled to play an extra show with Evan Dando at New York's Mercury Lounge on September 29, in addition to the previously announced (and now sold out) September 30 gig.
Tickets go on sale from the venue this Friday (Sep 10) at noon local time.
UPDATE: This 2nd show is also now sold out.
