Artist of the Week 10/10/11 - Lydia Loveless

[Iowan]

Maybe some August dates will sneak in there.

After a little poking, that deal in Chicago sounds pretty fun/doable. I think I was at that same festival years ago during a drunken bachelor party weekend.

[Rocky]

What can I say? I really want to see the documentary. I can't wait to hear the new record.

[Vincent]

According to Ben, more dates coming soon.

[Blammo]

I'll post 'em as soon as I get approval from ye olde powers that be! Can't wait though; it's gonna be a fun fall tour.

[Jonicont]

See you in SF!!!

[LBRod]

I also do commissions of pets, portraits, cars, and whatever else you might want, for a pretty reasonable price. Get your orders in before I leave for tour!

Figured that would be pretty hot.

Damn.

[Rocky]

Uhh, that's not Blammo.

Sweet little song. I like it.

[Iowan]

When I saw the long flowing locks, I assumed it was Blammo.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that he's not quite as, um, shapely as the gal in the video.

Well, that was fun---I have the office to myself this afternoon and was able to crank it up. Thanks for giving us the heads up, allisondc.

Pretty sweet. Can't wait for the tour with the boys

Glad you were able to catch it too! That was a great performance. The last song, Clumps, gave me goosebumps. Really can't wait to hear the new album.

Thanks for the link.
A month sure seems like a long time to wait for her new record. Looking forward to it. !

[Zip City]

She looks like a completely different person in every photo of her I've seen. Is she a wizard?

Seems relatively recognizable to me. She dyes her hair a lot, I guess.

EDIT: I just Google imaged her, and I can understand your conclusion.

this is the only pic you need, Zip!

Songs We Love: Lydia Loveless, 'Out On Love'

[StormandStatic]

Probably her best song to date, by a long shot. Very Fleetwood Mac, like something on Tusk.

When she did it at Tir na nog in Raleigh, NC during Hopscotch last year it brought the house down. That was quite impressive considering they had to follow Grand Champeen, who had just shook the place to its' very foundation. "Out On Love" is gorgeous on record but live, it's a motherfucking beast.

[Jonicont]

wow!!

[Iowan]

Is it the same coonskin hat, or is there an arsenal?

[Smitty]

I put it on my list of favorite songs from last year based on the live versions, but Goddamn this sounds so good.
