The News of Liza Kate

Well, the even Teenier, Tinier October Tour with HOLOPAW was a huge success!

I learned a lot of T Payne lyrics, a little bit about football, had a New York slice, went buck wild with some apple pie, made Evan Dando my bff, and had, in my opinion, a scandalous photo of me posted on the internet. *

Win win!

Now that it's November, it's time for a poorly planned, irresponsible tour with more days off than on and little to no money.

Just in time for the holidays!

My tourcation starts in Durham on Friday, November 6th, thanks to the good people of The Troika Music Festival who have agreed to let me play.

Please, please come out and support live music. The full schedule is available here.

So many wonderful bands are playing like Mount Moriah, Ryan Gustafson, Megafaun, Bowerbirds, Birds and Arrows, and so, so many others.

It will be glorious.

On Saturday November 7th, I'll be playing this fella's birthday party. (I know I don't exactly give off that party vibe, but my jokes are pretty solid and I have a jaunty cap).

I'm pretty sure this isn't open to the public, but I never ever get to play "private" events, so I'm just bragging at this point.

Ned Norland's October 5th podcast, which features a sweet little in-studio recording of mine is still available for your listening enjoyment, by the way.

After a couple of days pretending to be on tour, I'll be playing in Athens, Georgia on November 9th at a place called Flicker with Chartreuse and Chris Ingham.

I haven't played in Athens in years and years and I'm so excited to have this show.

I was hoping to play a show in Asheville On November 10th, but I think that's not happening.

Another time.

November 11th will be bringing me to Bloomington, Indiana to play at the home sweet home of my dear friends Jeff and Erin on 401 S. Rogers.

Busman's Holiday and hopefully Vera Maleta will be joining me.

See you there!

November 12th - November 14th I'll be goofing off, doing nothing.

If you know of something I can do, let me know.

November 15th, I'll be at at Spike Hill. 184 & 186 Bedford Avenue, Williamsburg, Brooklyn and playing with my dear, old friends Brown Bird.

Melaena Cadiz and Big Honey Mama are playing as well!

It's set to start at 9 and I NEED to see you there.

November 16th, I'll be playing at The White Haus in Jamaica Plains, Boston with Brown Bird and the sweet sounds of South China. Anyone, apparently, can tell you how to get to this house.

And then I'm driving all the way home and preparing for yet another, less teeny tour in December with South China.

More info on that to follow.





























*Almost none of those things are related, or even true, but I ordered them in that way to create a dramatic effect.

Thanks to everyone in my world for being so amazing and supportive. Maybe I can get back to making a few pictures now.

If you live in Richmond, you can pick this baby up (for a limited time) at Shield's Market, and at Plan 9.

If you don't then sometime next month you can ask your local record store to add it to their order from Chicago Independent Distribution or you can order it yourself from Holidays For Quince Records.

I hope you like it and that I'll see you in your town this summer, fall, winter, and maybe next spring.

Tour details will be available soon.

My schedule is confusing - I'm hoping this will make it easier:

5/15/09, 1pm, WKNC 88.1 fm, NC State Radio
5/15/09, 8pm, HFQ Block Party! AND my Chapel Hill CD Release!
5/17/09, 8pm, WXYC 89.3 fm, UNC at Chapel Hill Radio

6/13/09, 1pm, TRK Fest, I'll be splitting a slot with Mount Moriah

There's a lot going on here.

Please, come see me or listen in. I don't do this for myself, you know.

LOVE YOU, LIZA

Hey friend(s) - just wanted to share my joy and excitement.

The internet is now featuring two (2) pages devoted to only me. And I didn't even put them there.

#1 RVA Mag. An interview where I ramble on and on and on and on.
Their new website looks sweet, too.

#2 RVA News. A downloadable live show I played at Ipanema.

I'm a big deal in RVA?

Also, I love you.

So, Friday marks the beginning of a tiny tour with Aimee (Des Ark).



We're going to play on Friday night at a lil place called DEATH BY AUDIO in Brooklyn (49 South 2nd Street between Wythe & Kent) and we'll be playing with Little Gold and Out Like Lambs. I think it starts at 8, but that's the Myspace talking. I have no idea.



On Saturday, we're playing at CLARK PARK in Philly at sunset. Sounds dreamy.



In case of rain, though, the show will be at Beautiful World Syndicate (1619 E. Passyunk Ave in South Philadelphia) at 9pm.



I've never played a show in Philly before, so I'm looking forward to it.



On Sunday, Easter Sunday, we'll be playing in DC at a place called THE GIRL CAVE (14th and Gallatin NW WDC) at 7pm with Selfish and Little Gold.



I would love to see you.



Love, Liza

It was a long way to drive to play for such a short while, but it was worth it.

Thanks to everyone who went. You made a difference.

And clearly, I had a spectacular time, so, win win!
