Seltz Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Looks like Tin Cup Prophette will open for Jeff in Knoxville and Charlottesville. There was very little info on the web about the band - has anyone heard or seen them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DawgSong Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Nope. Checked the website as well and hasn't been updated in a while.It does appear she is recording and perhaps living in Athens, Ga. I too will be at Knoxville. BTW, tix say 8pm show. What time JT come onyou guess and how long has he been playing each night? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyjimmy Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 There's some stuff up on YouTube that can clue you into their/her sound.Sounds pretty cool actually, so I'm looking forward to seeing them next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mchchef1 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Iwas under the impression she was the "tin cup prophette" and was a solo act? Used to play subway stations NYC, I Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mchchef1 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 i think that show is probably in my top 5 shows ever seen. actually it is #2. With the current line up it is a toss up for me between Ryman and Ashville Ashville Ryman Last show I saw at the Iroquois in Louisville was awful damn good though.Knox-vegas will be my first solo Tweedy show Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elixir Sue Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 With the current line up it is a toss up for me between Ryman and Ashville Ashville Ryman The Ryman show was pretty relaxing, huh? You might want to take some No-Doze before the Tweedy show... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mchchef1 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 The Ryman show was pretty relaxing, huh? You might want to take some No-Doze before the Tweedy show...I figured the Dude, not you.From the sound of the copy of the show i got, it was spectacular! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bird jam Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I really liked them last night. The lead singer/violinist was adorable and funny. Good voice too. Very interesting sound overall, it reminded me of music that might be in the background in a movie. Lots of electronic tricks, loops, etc. If they were local, I would go see them again.

napoleon Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 yeah, they played a beautiful set. i think i might have fallen in love with the girl... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jayacoop Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 yeah, they played a beautiful set. i think i might have fallen in love with the girl... The drummer, Jeremy, and the violinist, Amanda, accompanied McCaughey in Atlanta. First time playing together. I thought they sounded great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thedank Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 I thought they were fairly bland. It was as if they had some toys, love music, and were trying their best to be a band. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they can't play or weren't trying, but they are missing direction. The singing was nothing to write home about and consisted of pretty much the same sounds over and over. I don't remember anything I heard which I haven't heard somewhere else. Seemed pretty one dimensional and limited. I didn't mind sitting through it, but it's nothing I'd go out of my way to see again unless it improved. Wish them the best of luck. They seemed like good people. Bands grow and perhaps they will continue to expand as well. Gotta keep trying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fletcher Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 She was cute, but the songs bored me except the third and last ones. She certainly had a formula down. Pluck violin strings, loop. Play with bow, loop. Get attractive model-looking guy with high cheekbones to blunk and twiddle on laptop, loop. Get drummer to ostensibly wear headphones and softly tap on cymbals. Then end with no climax. I mean, I liked it, but.. eh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gabepride Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 They were ok, but to me they sounded like they wanted to be Portishead but aren't as sexy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
