Cat Power Assembles New Band, Plays ATP

Dirty Three's ATP lineup expanded
Cat Power Assembles New Band, Plays ATP As previously reported, Cat Power has a show tonight in Seattle and one in Vancouver tomorrow, and it seems they will be her last gigs with the Memphis Rhythm Band with whom she has been touring this year.

Chan Marshall has recruited Dirty Three's Jim White, the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's Judah Bauer, the Delta 72's Gregg Foreman, and Lizard Music's Erik Paparozzi to accompany her on the rest of her tour dates this year, under the appropriate band name of "Dirty Delta Blues". Four of those dates feature White and Bauer as the opening act and two will be in California for New Year's celebrations with Gnarls Barkley and the Flaming Lips.

Speaking of White and Dirty Three, Cat Power has just been added to lineup for the All Tomorrow's Parties festival curated by the Australian group. Spiritualized, Bill Callahan, A Silver Mt. Zion, Mick Harvey, Conway Savage, Shannon Wright, Devastations, Felix Lajko, and Josh Pearson have also been added since our last story. The festival will take place April 27-29 in Somerset, England.
