News: KINK In-Studio Report

Toriphile Scott sent the following report on Tori’s performance at KINK in Portland yesterday:

I went to the Kink FM concert this afternoon and just thought I’d let you know what happened. I got there around 12:30pm and then 15 minutes later, one of the Kink employees came to the lobby and told us that Tori just got here and she’s running a little late. They were going to go upstairs and do a soundcheck and then bring us up. Tori then got out of a black SUV and came in the front door and went up the stairs to the studio. She smiled as she walked through the lobby, but didn’t say anything. She was wearing her red wig when she arrived. It was only about 20 minutes later that they brought us upstairs to the studio after giving us laniards to wear. It had a picture from the Beekeeper album on it and today’s date. There were probably about 20 people in the studio. Tori came out shortly after we sat down. She was playing their upright Steinway piano and the sound quality was really good in the studio. They got started right away and reminded us that it was going to be recorded for playback on the radio at 3:30pm and could possibly be used in an upcoming Kink CD. She started out with “Silent All These Years”, then followed up with “Little Drummer Boy” which was quite a treat! I think she was only going to do 2 songs but then she finished with “Almost Rosey.” We all thought she would stick around and sign autographs and take pictures, but after she was finished, she talked to the two djs for a couple minutes and then they hurried her out of the studio. It all went by very quickly, but she sounded wonderful and it was a very memorable experience.
