Power to the cat
| Cat Power (a.k.a. Chan Marshall) was meltdown-free at the Vic on Sunday during her performance with the Dirty Delta Blues band, but that didn't stop her from warming the house with her smoky vocals and--gasp--abundance of toothy grins. In a striking departure from her September 2006 pit stop at the same venue, Marshall appeared focused, confident and, well, downright happy while performing blues-inflected songs from her latest CD "Jukebox" and older titles such as "Sick and Tired," "The Moon" and "Lived in Bars." Gone were the erratic banter, bizarre self-interruption and doubt she's been known unleash on stage (flashback to 2006). Gone also was a move to clear the stage and perform solo for the crowd. Was this the tradeoff for her professional exterior? No matter--the show was rock solid and the anchoring presence of the backing band didn't reign in her vocals. Maybe just her antics. The show came to a close with a hefty dose of "I love you"s flung at the audience--along with tour T-shirts, followed by a series of bows and waves as she exited the stage, cheerfully, and on cue. |
