WRNR Private Artist Showcase Today

Looks like Tori is doing a Private Artist Showcase for WRNR this afternoon. We’re not sure if this is being aired live or if it being recording for later broadcast and, unfortunately, the server from which WRNR streams is acting up so we can’t listen in to check. But anyone in the Chesapeake Bay area, including Annapolis and Baltimore, may want to tune their rusty, dusty FM tuners to 103.1 FM just in case anything exciting happens to happen…

Update Yep, it happened, though it does not appear to have been broadcast live. Tori played a short set which included “Leather,” “Silent All These Years,” “Mary Jane” and “Lady in Blue.”

Jump the cut to see a video clips shared by Angorasoul, the Ram’s Head blog and Jason on YouTube.

Tori in Studio C on KBCO

As expected, Tori made a short visit to Denver radio station KBCO’s Studio C earlier this afternoon. She performed a pair of songs — “Curtain Call” and “Maybe California” — and chatted with host Ginger about touring and wine recommendations.

KBCO typically archives these appearances and, though it’s not available yet, hopefully, this one will be no different.

KBCO Welcomes Tori Back to Studio C -- We Know!

A couple people have written in saying that Tori will be stopping by KBCO in Denver on Tuesday, July 21st sometime after 1pm in the afternoon. Although it was reported to be mentioned on their website, we’re not seeing it there now. In any case, given the recent track record of dropping in on the local alternative radio station along the Sinful Attraction tour stops, it certainly makes perfect sense — particularly as Tori has made several stops at KBCO in the past.

So, keep your ears on their live stream during Tuesday afternoon and see what happens.

In the meantime, download a phone interview Tori did with BCO Morning Show host Bret back before the tour started on July 6th.

Update: it’s indirectly confirmed on the Morning Show home page and she should be on sometime after 1:00 PM MDT.

Tori in The End Zone

Tori visited The End Zone on Salt Lake City radio station 101.9 The End today, chatting with afternoon DJ Grant Ruby and performing a 3-song set that included “Leather.” “Maybe California” and “500 Miles.”

The session does not appear to be archived on The End’s website but Karinka3 was lucky enough to be in the studio audience, filmed “Maybe California” and “500 Miles“and was kind enough to share them on YouTube:

Tori Becomes Eclectic

Tori returned to KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic this morning, performing a six-song set during the last hour of the program. The set included “Maybe California,” “Curtain Call,” “Silent All These Years,” “Happy Phantom” “Leather,” “Putting the Damage On” and, for its first public performance ever, “Ophelia.” Tori and host Jason Bentley also have a conversation covering the new album, touring and and headier stuff than most people would want to tackle before lunch!

The entire appearance is archived on kcrw.org in as both audio and video if you want to revisit the broadcast — or just hear/see it for the first time. Stream the audio below or head over to kcrw.org for the video.

KINK Live Performance Lounge Is Up!

As it turned out, Tori’s appearance in the KINK Live Performance Lounge wasn’t broadcast at the time widget on their home page said. Fortunately for those who missed it (including yours truly), the fine folks at KINK have posted the audio on their site. The appearance includes a chat about Tori’s memorable trip to Portland in 2007 and performances of “Leather,” Maybe California,” “Silent All These Years” and “500 Miles” — although only two songs were aired during the actual broadcast.

Update: Mark-Alexis points out that all four songs from the KINK session were surreptitiously filmed and posted on Youtube. Jump the cut to check them out.

A Couple Upcoming Radio Appearances...

First, looks like Tori will be visiting Portland radio station KINK’s Live Performance Lounge as they were running a contest to be in the studio audience for the session but that ended yesterday. No details about the exact airtime are mentioned on either page but the “What’s Happening” widget at the bottom left of KINK’s home page indicates that it will take place on Saturday, July 11th at 5:30 PM PDT. If anyone can confirm (or is attending), we’d love to hear about it.

Second, after the false alarm back in May, it looks like Tori will finally be visiting KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic on Thursday, July 16th at 11:15 AM PDT.

Thanks to Jeff and aquadonia for the tips!

Tori on the KMTT Mountain Music Lounge

Sorry for the late notice on this: Tori’s visit to Seattle radio station KMTT’s Mountain Music Lounge is being broadcast today at 3:15 PM Pacific Time. In other words, right as this was posted. Stream KMTT here.

Two songs from the session were broadcast on the air as well as a short intview segment. However, the complete appearance included a couple more songs and some more interview segments. That is available for your streaming pleasure in KMTT’s Archive.

Thanks to MelindaLu and AlexF for letting us know!

Shockhound Interview

ShockHound has posted a video interview with Tori. In the five-minute clip, she talks about the themes on Abnormally Attracted to Sin, her approach to writing songs and The Beatles’ Abbey Road.

Thanks to Noémie for reminding us about this one!

Q Radio Session Wrap-up

It was a long-time coming but the Q Radio’s special on Tori finally aired on Friday, June 26th.

The hour-long program included in-depth conversation from Tori about Abnormally Attracted to Sin and the various topics discussing the album’s songs and themes lead her. Live performances of “Fire to Your Plain” and “Maybe California” from the new record and, tipping her hat to the past, renditions of “Silent All These Years” and “Winter” also make an appearance.

The special is available on the Q Radio Player through the rest of the week, though you have to know where to look. The first few minutes are at the tail-end of the archive of Singing Henri’s Friday programme while the rest can be found at the start of Emma Scott’s Friday programme.
