Neko Case Reveals Tour Plans

It's relatively easy to become lost in the name game when discussing the deep expanse of female alt-country types these days, but Neko Case has always shown the pluck and spunk to stand out and distance herself from most of the pack. Indeed, Case has been an assiduous soul since her days in Vancouver's art school/punk group Maow, broadening her fiery voice through relentless touring and countless collaborating, not to mention helping out in side projects like the Corn Sisters and the New Pornographers.

Neko Case is known for her charismatic live shows, where she tends to bypass any overused and ominous alt-country labels by being candid and kitschy. "How can I judge for myself," you ask? One way is to pick up last year's live album, The Tigers Have Spoken. Another way would be to catch her at one of the following shows:
