Boston Herald/EDGE Boston Concert Preview (October 16, 2007)

Since Tori (and Pip!) is playing her first night in Boston, we thought it would be sensible to post Christopher John Treacy’s preview of the concert from The Boston Herald.

Update: The piece in The Herald is an edited version of this article. A longer version can be found at EDGE Boston. Thanks to the author for letting us know!

North Jersey Interview (October 10, 2007)

I thought that it was really important through the project and through the touring, which lasts till mid-December, that along with the music, people can go online into this abstract world and communicate with these women. They have stories, and we follow their stories, which I thought was really important. I like the idea of a multimedia approach to this subject matter. Because I don’t think that there has to be an end of the expression with the releasing of the album. I like the idea of, how would you say it, improvisation along the way. And I’m getting to know them more each day, I guess, as we’re getting ready for the tour.

There was a short interview published in New Jersey newspaper The Record in the run-up to the two shows at Madison Square Garden. You can read the full article at NorthJersey.com or read it here. Thank you mr. woj!

Clash Of The Posses (October 9, 2007)

Jasmine Fry came across a funny little piece in the October 9th issue of Philadelphia’s Citypaper. The author juxtaposed Tori and the Insane Clown Posse (ICP) as they were both playing in Philadelphia on the same night. ICP is a wrestling/rapping duo, so you can imagine the funny comparisons made!

Legs & Boots For International Fans

Melissa told us about this announcement at Toriamos.com:

To all of the devoted international fans… Unfortunately because the world isn’t under one law and one currency, selling the online Legs & Boots releases outside of the US is proving impossible at this time. We are however continuing to research ways in which you too can participate in this experience. Until such time that we are able to make the collection available Internationally please give us your name, email and country information below (click ‘more’ if you don’t see the form below) and we’ll contact you once we’ve found a way around these issues. Thank you for your understanding & patience.

Add your name to the list.

Wallingford: Isabel Lifts Her Lamp

Isabel opened the show this evening at the Oakdale (Chevrolet, whatever) Theatre in Wallingford, CT. Her set included the usual suspects plus “Tombigbee” and “Scarlet’s Walk”. Tori’s set featured “Space Dog”, “Siren”, and, during T & Bö, “Mother”, “Mary” and a cover of The Beatles’ “Let It Be”. The full setlist, which comes to us tonight courtesy of me (I would have been home sooner, but I had to go out for a drink with some friends after the concert), has been posted in the Tour section.

If you were there and want to let Undented’s readers know what you thought of the performance, use the comment form way over yonder thar’.

Legs & Boots: Instant Torification!

ToriAmos.com and Everything Tori have announced the launch of Legs & Boots, a digital download service for complete performance live recordings from the American Doll Posse Tour!

Recordings will be made available within a few hours of a show’s completion for $9.99 as 256 kbps mp3s. For those who like their music compressed without the quality loss, FLAC files will be available as well for $14.99. Due to the large file size, there will be a delay of 4-6 days for FLACs but those who go with that option will immediately be able to download the mp3s to hold them over.

Last night’s Philadelphia concert is already available for purchase and download! (However, note that, as has been said before, not all shows from the tour will be made available.)

If you have questions about Legs & Boots, check out their FAQ for more information and how to contact customer support.

Philadelphia: Mojitos On The House!

Santa was the doll who came to town last night at the Tower Theatre in Philadelphia (well, Upper Darby) and she brought “Hoochie Woman” out to play — along with a pitcher of mojitos! Tori’s set featured an improvisation about friends, sweetness and poison leading off T & Bö, “Purple People”, “Liquid Diamonds” and “Hotel”. Check out the full setlist in the Tour section — thanks to Jason Schlemer and Robert Schrader for sending it in — and, as I’m sure you’re sick of us writing, if you were there, please tell the world (or at least the part of it which reads this website) what you though using the comment form there.

Go Magazine Interview (August 2007)

First of all, you have to be willing to spread your private life open for the world to see your intimate secrets. If you’re not willing to spread, then you don’t end up on the spreadsheets. There’s always been a history of screen goddesses who have captured the imagination of the masses, but even that seems to have become passé in favor of those who haven’t really achieved that status. Perhaps, the less threatening one is, the more that the masses can think, “Oh, I can become her and have her celebrity without too much effort. After all, I can do what she can do just as good as she can,” and maybe that’s the appeal.

There was an interview in the August issue of the New York publication Go Magazine. You can read the full article on their site, or read it here. You can also find two scans of the article: here and here, with pictures and all, woot! Thank you meade for letting us know!

Syracuse Post Standard Concert Review (October 14, 2007)

Mark Bialczak, who wrote a nice piece for the Syracuse Post Standard leading up to last night’s concert at the Landmark, also reviewed the show for the same paper (though he is unclear about which doll kicked off the evening; hopefully that’s due to an editorial snafu rather than a dinner that ran extra long!)
