Phair Goes Acoustic With Flaming Lips
Singer/songwriter Liz Phair will embark on her first tour in
several years with a string of acoustic performances opening for
the Flaming Lips. The seven-date trek begins May 23 in Portland,
Ore., and wraps June 3 in Denver. As previously reported, Phair
will also be on hand June 7 for the inaugural Field Day Festival
in Calverton, Long Island, N.Y.
The artist is touring in advance of the June 24 release of her
self-titled Capitol album. First single "Why Can't I?" can be
streamed from Phair's official Web site, as well as the upbeat
rockers "Extraordinary" and "Rock Me." Fans who sign up for
Phair's online mailing list will be entered into a drawing for a
7" vinyl single featuring the unreleased track "Greased
Lightning."
"Why Can't I?," "Extraordinary," "Rock Me," and "Favorite" were
co-written by Phair with the Matrix production team, best known
for its work on Avril Lavigne's smash Arista debut, "Let Go." The
slickly produced cuts are a far cry from Phair's humble indie
roots, captured on her acclaimed 1994 Matador debut "Exile in
Guyville." Other contributors on the new set include Michael
Penn, veteran session drummers Matt Chamberlain and Victor
Indrizzo, and former Prince guitarist Wendy Melvoin.
During an interview at the South By Southwest music conference
last month in Austin, Texas, Phair admitted some fans may balk at
her decision to collaborate with a mainstream outfit such as the
Matrix. But she added, "I think that people who stay indie are
very 'us vs. them.' I say, 'Why paint yourself into a corner?'"
Here is the tracklist to "Liz Phair":
"Extraordinary"
"Red Light Fever"
"Why Can't I?"
"It's Sweet"
"Rock Me"
"Take a Look"
"Little Digger"
"Firewalker"
"Favorite"
"Love/Hate Transmission"
"H.W.C."
"My Bionic Eyes"
"Friend of Mine"
"Good Love Never Dies"
