MUSIC: NEKO CASE
Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, Philadelphia PA, 7/29/2009
Another awesome show from Neko & Company. Both Neko and Kelly Hogan’s voices were pitch perfect, as always. They even dressed appropriately for the this highly refined venue - a chic little black dress for Neko, and a black/white cocktail dress for Kelly. Unfortunately, most of the audience looked extremely sloppy. The Kimmel Center is where many of the Philadelphia fine arts organizations (the Opera, the Orchestra, etc.) perform - it’s a beautiful hall with great acoustics. Would have it been so damn difficult for guys to wear long pants as opposed to kneebanger shorts, skinny jeans, or manpris? This isn’t a dirty bar with gross bathrooms and cheap beer. There were so many crimes against fashion - against humanity, even - it was painful. However, again, the show was awesome. I’ll watch Neko and Kelly (who adds so much to Neko’s singing) anywhere.
