When busy bee Neko Case hurt her ankle during this spring's New Pornographers tour with Okkervil River, faces fell long from coast to coast. The alt.country enchantress was to miss a number of dates supporting 2007's Challengers, and really, what's a Porno show without its chanteuse?... read more
Found in: Music, NewsNeko Case announces mini-tour dates
After spending almost three months on the road with Pornographer pals, Neko Case has rightfully earned some time away from the main stage. And yet, the alt.country crooner is showing no signs of stopping her march around the U.S. Having only stepped off the tour bus for a little over a month, Case has announced a series of Northeast show dates beginning on Jan. 25. Although she'll be kicking it solo style, Case will be accompanied by former Paste Artist of the Week, Eric Bachmann, who is slated to open on all dates.

Found in: Music, NewsNeko Case reissues on the way
The most tender place in our Paste-y hearts is for Neko Case. Although she gets a great deal of press for her standout vocal contributions to the wacky New Pornographers, it's been Case's solo material that has built and cemented her legacy as a musician.

Found in: Music, NewsJohnny Cash, Neko Case Concert Released On CD
Johnny Cash and Neko Case together — wow. Too bad we’d never see or hear them perform live together, sharing the same stage. However, hearing and seeing them live as separate entities isn’t far-fetched at all. As part of the “Live From Austin, TX” Austin City Limits series, New West Records is releasing Cash’s 1987 and Case’s 2003 performances on CD Jan. 9, 2007. Cash’s DVD version of the performance was released last year and Case’s back in October. The original concerts were 60-90 minutes and were edited into half-hour TV shows, but the albums will play it in their... read more
