Neko gets her Heart on


While touring through Australia in March, Neko Case turned up on the popular music-themed television quiz show Spicks and Specks hosted by stand-up Adam Hills. Her team, led by Kiwi comic Alan Brough (not above appearing in drag for butter commercials) out-scored the evening's competition 18-16. As a show closer, Neko was joined by sidekicks Kelly Hogan and Paul Rigby for an impromptu celebratory belt through Heart's Magic Man, probably thinking no one outside of Melbourne would ever see it. Uh huh.
But that was months ago and Neko now is safely back in the northern hemisphere. So fear not New Pornographers fans, Neko will be fronting the group with Carl Newman (formerly of the Insignificant Specks) for their upcoming Sound Academy show in Toronto with Dutchess and the Duke and The Dodos on Tuesday, June 15.
