Tomorrow may be Record Store Day, but today is Indie Rock Goddess Injury Day, or something. First it was Neko Case, whose ankle suffered a nasty boo-boo, forcing her to opt out of the current New Pornographers tour.

Now it's Cat Power, who had to cancel a gig last night (April 17) in Tempe, Arizona and six more upcoming engagements. The reason? Chan Marshall has damaged her vocal chords, and her doctor has ordered her to lay off the singing thing for a couple weeks. Oh no!

According to Matador, Chan's doctor will reassess her vocal cord situation after this little time-out and decide whether she needs to rest further. There are also plans afoot to reschedule the cancelled dates for later this year. Phew.

You'll find what's still on for now and what's not below. Thanks to reader Kevin Murphy for the tip, and feel better soon, Chan!
