I rarely get any use out of MySpace nowadays - I’m either being spammed by some American cheerleader called ‘Brandy’ who thinks I’m really ‘hot’ and wants to get to know me a little better (when it’s most likely a Nigerian scammer planning to take all my money and/or kill me) or I’m being persued by some band or another who’s influences are Oasis, The Fratellis and Razorlight. *shivers* Really, it happens.
But without MySpace I wouldn’t have discovered this nugget of info. Posting on her blog, an excitable Sarah Siskind has just announced that she will be the opening act for the European Bon Iver shows in December. Oh yes.
Those of you that aren’t familiar with Siskind’s music will almost certainly be interested in knowing not only have Bon Iver been finishing their recent shows with her wonderful ballad ‘Lovin’s For Fools’ but her double EP Studio. Living Room was a huge influence on Justin whilst he was recording For Emma, Forever Ago. Check out the aforementioned track below. It’s a belter. And it might just make you cry. A little.
Those dates then:
December
3 - Dublin, National Stadium
6 - Belgium, Gent Vooruit
7- London, Apollo Victoria Theatre
