Best Concerts... Neko Case (Houston, TX)

Neko Case
w/ Andrew Bird & Anna Feremin's Trigger Gospel
Rudyard's Pub
Houston, TX (2000)

A club show with more musicians in attendance than audience members, Neko Case kicked off the support of her second album Furnace Room Lullaby in high style with two excellent opening acts. The depressing attendance was offset with stellar performances, but I suspect Neko still holds this show against Houston since she usually bypasses us in favor of Austin, where she's treated like an honest-to-God rock star.
