I took a few pictures (not enough, I wanted to actually watch the performance!) picasaweb.google.com/PrismElite/CarinaRoundLondonMusicClubThe set list included: - How I See It - Simplicity Hurts - Do You - In My Time of Dyin' (Bob Dylan cover) - Thief in the Sky - Backseat She also played Early Winters songs (with Justin Rutledge). - Paperboat Aeroplane - Is This What You Had in Mind - Spanish Burn - What Kind of King - Turn Around Maybe I'm forgetting a song.. I also have a fuzzy recollection that she played some acoustic song requests for me after the show, in a darkened backstage parking lot over the sound and lights of cars pulling out, but I may have been dreaming... I highly recommend donating... |

I highly recommend donating... Did you pay for a personal performance? Thanks for the photos and review. |

Awesome stuff, is anyone bootlegging any of the current gigs? I videoed the entire 24 July NYC show but the audio is distorted in spots and needs cleaned up. I will post it at some time fairly soon. Most of the May-June Hotel Cafe shows can be seen HERE. The full 13 May show was audio recorded but the fellow who told me he had it has not replied back. That's all I've been able to determine that exists so far. |

I now regret not buying something to record it, it was a great little venue. I got the impression that a lot more people came for Justin Rutledge. (I only heard of her recently in association with the Smashing Pumpkins). But she seemed to be a big hit with crowd there. Hopefully, she'll come back since I don't know if she'll be coming to Michigan any time soon. As I recall she said "Do You" was about her blaming others for her own problems... as she started doing the wrong song. But she smoothly recovered. She mentioned being a bit light on the country influence so that's why she added a Bob Dylan cover (which also happens to be a Led Zepplin cover). I really liked that one personally, she utilized that lovely deep voice that I love so much. well, what don't I love about her. Got everyone to join along with singing Backseat which was great in such an intimite venue. Thief in the Sky was assisted by a fancy pedal to help repeat her multi-layered vocals which was just a real treat live. The full band wasn't there, but I should mention Dan Burns was there to help play, he helped with producing the new EP and is part of Early Winters. I'm not going to say say I like Early Winters quite as much as her other stuff but I did pick up the Snowflake EP, they're growing on me. She stayed to sign merch after her set was over and before Justin began his, and had Things You Should Know posters, Into the Blood 3 song EP (Into the Blood, Hookah, Body-shaped bruise... some great songs there), the new EP, and Early Winters. She quickly recognized my t-shirt that I got from the donation. I decided to be nice on her hand since she wrote out a whole page of lyrics already for my donation. I had donated for the ichat and then found out she was going to be within 3 hours so I couldn't resist going to see her live.. got more than I expected when offered with a live private backstage acoustic performance! But there was no actual backstage at this venue, so the parking lot it was. heh. not gonna complain. I'd say more but posting about it on the Internet kind of ruins the whole mystery of it  well that's my completely unobjective, emotional review. I only last week was able to buy a copy of "The First Blood Mystery" so I'm still caught in a swooning period. |

I only heard of her recently in association with the Smashing Pumpkins. Based on your review, I would diagnose that you might be hooked. Her music and personality are an easy addiction. Hopefully, she'll come back since I don't know if she'll be coming to Michigan any time soon. I assume you mean Michigan, U.S.? I'm in Ohio. Last month in NYC, I asked Carina if she would be playing the midwest U.S. any time soon (preferably, Cleveland, Detroit or Windsor). Somewhere I could easily drive too (she knew I had flown to LA and NYC). Probably not, as she expressed concern over ticket sales. However, I suppose eluding to a possibility of Chicago, she asked if I could drive there (which, indeed, I can easily). Hopefully, she plays there some time in the near future. She expressed to me, and I've seen her say elsewhere, a great appreciation for fans who travel long distances. She thinks it's crazy but still appreciates it. got more than I expected when offered with a live private backstage acoustic performance! A Carina personal performance is great. And unique because I don't know of many artists that would do that. For a brief recap, I went to see Carina in Cleveland in 2007, couldn't find the venue in time to catch her performance. When I expressed my dismay to her, she said "I'll just have to give you an acoustic performance, then". I couldn't believe my ears. And, indeed, she did give my friend and me a six song (one with a couple of members of The Cinematics) performance outside the venue. Sooooo cool!!! I only last week was able to buy a copy of "The First Blood Mystery" so I'm still caught in a swooning period. An incredible album. The aural tapesty is amazing and the closing tracks, "Ribbons" and "On Leaving" as a pair, blow me away. |

yeah sorry it's a bit embarassing. But she conveys such pure emotion through her songs and they carry me away. I keep on finding something more everytime I listen.
I live in Michigan in the U.S. I'd definitely take the train to Chicago. I'm wondering if she can set up some sort of thing like eventful.com on her web site to gauge how many people would be interested in certain areas. I don't get why she isn't world famous yet.
