New Media: Tori's Hip Too!

Lest anyone think that we here at Undented are only about dusty, cobwebby old media, we hasten to point out that bloggers had their fingers in the SXSW pie (so to speak) as well.

While heavy-weight Brooklyn Vegan appears to have ignored Tori since the publication of Comic book Tattoo, Stereogum posted about the show, generating the usual quota of comments for and against Ms. Amos. Somewhat less known music blogs Music Justice and Have You Heard also attended the show and had good things to say about Tori’s performance.

Perhaps most interestingly though, Ann Powers, who helps co-wrote Piece by Piece with Tori, blogged about her SXSW experience and devoted several paragraphs to the showcase:

Tori Amos Seduces SXSW

“It’ good to see some familiar faces,” Tori Amos said from the stage at her SXSW performance Thursday night at Austin’s La Zona Rosa. “I’ve missed you guys.” Judging by the wealth of screams and flashing bulbs — not to mention an unabashedly enthusiastic introduction by celebrity blogger Perez Hilton — the feeling was mutual.

SXSW: Short and Sweet

Tori’s SXSW showcase is in the books. She played for just about a hour (typical for this sort of thing) and did not do an encore. Three songs from the new album made an appearance — “Lady in Blue,” “Curtain Call,” and “Mary Jane” — as well as some old chestnuts and a few from her more recent releases. Check out the full setlist and, if you were there, feel free to let everyone know what you thought of the show.

Many thanks to the folks posting the setlist to Twitter and the usual suspects for keeping us appraised of the happenings at La Zona Rosa!
