She was on Portlandia. I think they just wanted to do other things for a while. She even filmed the first few webisodes of it for them.
I was shocked when I arrived at the Corin Tucker Band show last night, and Corin was working the merch table before the show. My friend and I chatted with her for a solid half hour before the show started. She was very nice and autographed the CD I bought. I almost never get to shows early, but I'm glad I did last night. We were like don't you have minions to work the mech table for you? And she said, well, they're busy getting the equipment ready and really working the merch table is the easiest job in the band, so she didn't mind at all. She talked about her kids and fitting touring in with family life. We asked when she'd be on Portlandia again, snd she said no plans for it, but it's usually happens spontaneously, without any warning. They just call her up and ask her to come over to film a few scenes and they kind of make up the script at the time. I wanted to tell her than the last Sleater-Kinney show at the 9:30 Club was one of the top 3 best shows I've ever seen, but I didn't want to imply any comparisons with her current band, so I kept that to myself.
I thought it was a fantastic show! Both Ms. Tucker and her voice were/are very lovely, IMHO.
