pnêyu Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Stephen Malkmus adds Sleater-Kinney's Weiss, sets showsNovember 21, 2006 12:56 PMby Tjames MadisonLiveDaily Contributor Former Pavement frontman Stephen Malkmus looks to launch a reconfigured version of his backing band, The Jicks, with a brief run of shows in January. The tour, set to kick off with a Jan. 9 show in Tucson, AZ, will be Malkmus and The Jicks' first since the addition of former Sleater-Kinney drummer Janet Weiss. Weiss became an available commodity after her former band called it quits earlier this year.

begbie Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 i saw them in madison around 2001 or 2002. great show, incredibly loud. my wife claims that our son (who was not born yet) was kicking and moving around quite a bit during the show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pnêyu Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 Janet definitely added a different dimension to the Jicks' sound: heavier, a little more serious. By the same token, she didn't back down when Joanna Bolme challenged Steve to do "I Nearly Lost You" by the Screaming Trees. Here's hoping the rest of the shows on the tour will be as fun as opening night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
