Anyone heading over to Iota to see Juliana Hatfield?
-
I'm not this time. I saw her last time when she was a part of "Some Girls", that was a decent show.
-
Actually, the last time she was at Iota was just a few months ago. She was solo with her backing band. I'm certainly not a huge fan or anything but I found the show to be quite good.

Was it crowded?

isnt everything in Northern Virginia either crowded, congested or confusing?

Yes, but not sold out. I believe it was a Thursday also. The crowd actually started to thin out an hour into her set. Lame-wad yuppies.
-
Actually, I edited my original post that commented this was probably a stupid question for Iota especially on a Thursday.
Thanks for the info though.
-
I'd be interested to go, but events in the District call.
Iota rarely gets super-crowded, though that big pillar in the middle is a bitch if it's full capacity.

Eesh you think? I laugh at how they pack 'em in especially on Thursday and Friday. At the door they'll comment, "there's room in the back". No one ever fills that empty space and they just keep piling them in!

I must choose shows with little interest! ;)

I must choose the Yuppie shows! ;)

So did anyone go to this show last night?
I really really like JH but I've found her solo shows to be a bit....boring. I have to admit that I prefer watching her when she "rocks out" more, like she does with the full band.
Of course, if this WAS a show with a full band that I'm going to kick myself for having missed it.
-
No band, just her. Not as good as the last time she was at IOTA with the band. Short set too, no encore or anything. Maybe about 1 hour, 1:10 tops.
-
Actually, it was probably the best Juliana solo show that I've seen. Usually, she is less likely to converse with the audience solo. With the several retuning she needs to do, it can lead to a lot of dead space. She was quite chatty, I thought. About a hour and twenty minutes with no encores.
Here's the setlist:
Gone (Madonna cover)
Sunshine
You Make Me Feel Invisible
Heaven
My Sister
Robot City
Jamie's Back in Town
Spin the Bottle
Somebody is Waiting for me
Down on Me
Hotels
Tourist
Feel It
Here Comes the Darkness (?)
Slow Motion
Stupid Thing
Fleur de Lys
Got No Idols
Prettiest Girl
Because We Love You
Tomorrow Never Knows
She will be releasing some older music on her website. "You Make Me Feel Invisible" and "Stupid Thing" will likely be songs that see the light of day there. Supposedly they will be releasing two songs every other week.

i met her at tower records in boston back in 1995 when jeff buckley was doing an in-store performance.
random.

Rumor was the Hatfield and Buckley were dating around that time. Buckley also opened for her on tour that year.

I heard much the same thing. She wrote "Trying Not To Think About It" from the EP Please Do Not Disturb about Buckley's death.
I'll hope against all hope that amongst the old songs are some gems from God's Foot. I *love* "Cant Put Your Arms Around a Melody" and "What Have I Done To You". I think that whole era was her most creative. At least it's the stuff I like the best, FWIW.

Canuck,
I don't know if any other God's Foot songs will see the light of day. Supposedly, she has said that they have a ton of songs she has recorded that won't be released formally and this would be a good way for them to see the light of day.
"Stupid Thing" is a good example. It was recorded around the Beautiful Creatures recordings with Andy Chase of Ivy producing and playing added guitar. It is a great song, but it only appeared on some promo. that was not released to the public.
BTW, she has a album ready to go for eraly next year and is ready to record the next Some Girls material sometime after she is finished with the tour.
