I’m very concerned about the future of live music venues but also too worried to actually visit one right now.

The mysteries of collaboration
The first time I ever saw Marika Hackman live it was a joint show with the Big Moon ahead of the release of I’m not your man. I’ve seen both artists perform since and its a weird thing but neither are quite as compelling for me as their combined work.
Big Moon are comparatively staid in their composition and lyrics but a tight unit musically and better than Hackman’s touring band. They also seem to get her sense of humour more.
Hackman struggles to reproduce her more complex tunes live (see also The Japanese House) but also seems to struggle to front the performance effectively while Big Moon give the impression of loving it on stage.
