Congratulations Esthero!
Congratulations to esthero on the release of her new album Wikked Lil' Grrrls today. It's been an incredible 374 weeks since her last full-length offering. 7 years, 2 months. A long wait to be sure, but well worth it!I pre-ordered the album from Amazon.ca a few months ago and won't get to hear the final version until I'm back in T-dot mid-July, but I'm very, very, very excited and happy for her. Proud, too, if that counts. It took a LOT to get here.
I've been listening to tracks from the album for a looooong time. I think she recorded about 40 songs for her follow-up album over the years and everything I heard was fantastic, but she was (and always will be) a meticulous perfectionist, especially where it concerns her art. It's uplifting and inspiring to know that some people always insist on getting it right.
The tour kicks off on July 2 in Seattle and runs at least through the month (that's what's been confirmed so far). Jay (her bro and my bud) is going on the road with her as a tech, but will also be playing some guitar. I'm sure ALL the shows are going to be brilliant, especially considering the calibre of the incredible band she's touring with. All the players have mad chops and I look forward to hearing how they set the US of A on fire with their rolling thunder.
All the tour dates have been announced, but details are changing. Check her sites for the official 411. Unfortuntely, I won't be able to catch any of the North American dates, but I'll be there for all the European shows (and I'll help sell-out the Stockholm gig).
If you're an esthero fan (or open to becoming one), check out NearlyCivilized.com for the good stuff and esthero.net for the official label version. Make sure to buy the album (and her back-catalogue), and call your local radio and TV stations with requests to get the singles into rotation.
Here's to the coming global conquest!

Well, if you're friends with her brother, I guess you would be concerned about us buying her album rather than pirating it. :-) Yes, we will be buying it. We were just impatient for a sneak preview because we're big fans. But we don't post what we have for others to download. Besides how could I not buy the actual CD and miss out on seeing her beautiful face on the cover. :-)
Indeed. Check out my follow-up to your post.
