A.C. Newman — vocals, guitars, keyboards, bass, banjoThat's right, both Neko Case and Dan Bejar are on board. Case and Bejar have always appeared on the records, but in a live capacity they have always been part-time Pornographers at best. This tour they're all together, though, and while going to see Case is a no-brainer, the chance to see Bejar (Destroyer) as well is not worth missing. I've seen the New Pornographers perform without either of them, and it's been great—A.C. Newman's tunes are fantastic in any capacity—but tonight's show is unmissable in my book. (That book, titled Ned's Book of Unmissable Shows, is still seeking a publisher.) Top it with opening sets by the excellent Dodos and the vastly underappreciated Imaad Wasif, this is a surefire winner. (And this is coming from someone who hates phrases like "surefire winner." But seriously, this is going to be a fantastic fucking show.)
