About

The New Pornographers on Tour

For the last two decades, The New Pornographers have been delivering infectious hooks, sweet harmonies, and a pile of power-pop riffs every time they take the stage. The critically acclaimed supergroup — A.C. Newman, Neko Case, Kathryn Calder, Todd Fancey, Blaine Thurier, John Collins, Joe Seiders and Simi Stone — embarks on a new tour in support of their brand new record In The Morse Code Of Brake Lights. The album is more of what The New Pornographers do best: "pure, blissfully irresistible power-pop" (NPR Music).

    The Dodos were AMAZING!!

    by Cleome on 8/4/10Ogden Theatre - Denver

    Neko Case is incredible, but, with such a large band, and so many egos involved, The New Pornographers were just too much for the Ogden Theater. On stage, there even appeared to be tension between two of the members of the band. (I won't name names.) The Dodos, however, were incredible!! Their performance was flawless, and even with the emphatic and inspiring sounds of the dueling guitar and drums, the melodic sounds of the vibraphone were still crucial for the amalgamation and originality of each of the band's songs. Just amazing!!

    The dodos killed it!!

    by Bettyjames on 8/3/10Ogden Theatre - Denver

    i had purchased the ticket to see the dodods and was also excited to see the new pornographers play. when the dodos came out, they seemed to be in good spirits and to be focused on the set, which is more than i could sday for the very first band. They didn't play for as long as i had hoped but they played all of the songs i wanted to hear for as little time as they had. musically, when they played, the amount of talent was ripping the venue apart by the seems. the quality was fantastic. When the new pornographers came out, the crowd fell quiet in an anticipating hush, all seeming to wonder what song they would play first. when the first few chords were anounced of "sing me spanish techno" the crowd roared with excitment. and, for the life of me, during their entire set, i couldn's find one person who was not dancing... it was a great show. i assume that it was due to the time-crunched set list, but the only thing i can say that's even a little negative, is that they didn't engage with the crowd as much as i had hoped. awesome show, nevertheless. it was a garenteed good time

    Incredible

    by LavaLava on 8/2/10Showbox at the Market - Seattle

    I had an excellent time. I had never seen New Pornographers live before and I wasn't sure how their music would translate in a live setting, but all of my fears were quickly dispelled when they started right off with a super-tight rendition Sing Me Spanish Techno. All of them are amazing musicians and their talents are quite apparent in the live show. But, the thing that grabbed me the most was the power of their vocals. They captured all the layers of vocal complexity on the records beautifully and I was almost moved to tears. Couldn't recommend this band more highly.

    Good show... Sleepy crowd.

    by Albertomba on 8/2/10Liberty Hall - Lawrence

    The New Pornographers put on a lively show that was full of energy but the crowd participation was largely unremarkable. Recommended nonetheless...

    Good Music But Far Too Loud

    by arcoain on 8/2/10Showbox at the Market - Seattle

    All bands overmixed to the point of clipping. Nearly unlistenable for much of the concert. Good energy, decent music.

    NPs - Near Perfect!

    by nicknamealias on 7/22/10The Music Box - Hollywood

    No histrionics, No fancy production, Just solid, awesome sound! All big wig band members present and accounted for, albeit one who had to be occasionally summoned to the stage. Perfectly Harmonized - as always! Thanks guys for a great performance!

    Great show at the Fonda

    by nicepenguins on 7/21/10The Music Box - Hollywood

    I really liked the New Pornographers and the Dodos. I felt like the sound mix was a bit off at the beginning of the New Pornographers' set, which made it a little tough to hear some of Neko's vocals. Other than that, one of my favorite bands, loved hearing them live again. If you weren't a particular fan of them and just like going to shows, it was also a good value because there were three shows and it went from ~8:30- 12:30, for around $30. Music box was a nice venue too, very intimate and you can dance a little. I saw them previously at the wiltern and you can't really move around there.

    Wow!!!

    by tlist on 7/21/10The Music Box - Hollywood

    New Pornographers are every bit and more of what's on their studio releases. Any one of them could do a show by themselves, and to put them all together--wow!!! No disappointments, and The Music Box as a good venue with great customer service is recommended. Oh yeah, the opening bands (Imaad Wasif, then the Dodo's) were excellent as well. I figured we'd want to get to the main act quick, but they made the over two hours time they used very enjoyable.

    New Pornographers at the Music Box

    by burymylovely on 7/21/10The Music Box - Hollywood

    The only thing that kept this show from being amazing was the behavior Dan Bejar. They had to wait for him to show up on stage for his songs and when he was only playing guitar, he had his back turned to the audience. It was weird and took away from the show. Everyone else however, was awesome. They played and sang their hearts out. I wish the sound mix had been better. It was difficult to hear the vocals, which are so important for this group. Overall very good show.

    The total package

    by toptchr55 on 7/20/10The Music Box - Hollywood

    The New Pornographers concert at The Music Box was a special even. Armed with their lively music and amazing harmonies they kept the place rocking. I plan to be there at their second concert tonight.

    Boring Porn

    by markdiggit on 7/20/10The Music Box - Hollywood

    I saw the New Porns at the Fonda in Hollywood on July 19th. This was one of worst shows I've been to. The pace was terrible and so was the set list. This is the fifth time that I've seen this band and they too looked bored. Shows cost too much money now for bands to just go through the motions.

    New Pornographers

    by oldpornographer on 7/20/10The Music Box - Hollywood

    delicious

    by showattendee on 7/20/10The Music Box - Hollywood

    Any fan of the New Pornographers would have enjoyed the show. They played loose and comfortably yet the results were tight. It was my first time seeing them and now I certainly regret ever missing them. I will never miss them again if I can help it. I think even if you were not familiar with them they would win you over...
