Debuting songs from her upcoming release, "The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You" (out September 3rd), alongside selections from past albums, Neko Case played to a full crowd of fans Sunday evening at the inaugural First City Festival.
Particular highlights from the night included "This Tornado Loves You" and "That Teenage Feeling", as well as her covers of the Shangri-Las "Train from Kansas City" and Lisa Marr's "In California". Overall, the hour plus set demonstrated Ms. Case's wide-ranging talent, showcasing her ability to be both vulnerable and emotion and strong and aggressive with her vocal delivery.
The event, which took place at the history Monterey Fairgrounds (home to the long running Monterey Jazz Festival taking place next month), brought a mix of up-and-coming bands such as the Los Angeles-based Electric Guest alongside indie legends Modest Mouse.
