Feist feels it all, as you well know, but when she feels the chill of a cold Canadian winter setting in, she packs her bags and gets the fuck out. Like pretty much every other international indie phenomenon right now, Leslie Feist will-- as you also know-- grace warm, summery Australia with her sunny presence in the weeks to come.

But lest you think Leslie has forsaken the country she calls home, take stock of this: the Winter Olympics will descend on Vancouver, Canada in 2010, and Feist is at the reigns of the welcome wagon. She'll join Ron Sexsmith, the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, and other musical Canadians of note at the "Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad Countdown Concert", popping off February 12, 2008 at the city's Orpheum Theatre. Only two years to go, guys! Please try to contain yourselves.

And if that just isn't enough Feist for you, how's this? The lady behind The Reminder will take those formidable pipes to Europe in May and June.

Denizens of the UK should be hip to Feist twice over by then, as the gal's "My Moon My Man" single will be issued anew there in digital form February 11 via Polydor.
