Last night we went to see Cat Power.  Chan Marshall is amazing!  We've had chances to see her before, but decided against it because of her erratic live-show behavior.  She cleaned up in 2006 (alcohol abuse) and she hasn't been walking off stage and stuff lately, so we thought we'd chance it.

She is utterly amazing.  If I could wish one thing for myself, it would to be able to sing.  Watching her was magical.

She never stopped moving and there were no lights on the stage, which made it a challenge for Andrew to get a picture of her.  But the best one, above, is so awesome.  The rest of the pictures from the show are in this gallery.  The last three photos are Cat Power, the rest are Appaloosa, the opening band.

*** Superstar update ***

Today I was emailed by the sing of Appaloosa, who is totally sweet.  She found this post and clicked through to Andrew's gallery for the show. She loved the photos he took of her and added them to Appaloosa's myspace.  How cool is that?!

I'd also like to mention that Andrew never uses his flash as shows ... which can be annoying to the band.  He's thoughtful like that. :)
