In other Neko Case news, she had a great summer at Blue Rodeo's Stardust Picnic and on the Lilith Fair tour with the Local Rabbits backing her up, running into Emmylou Harris in the bathroom, Dave Foley at a party and Sarah McLachlan on the mainstage at the Lilith Fair Vancouver finale. Even though drummer Neko Case is a country music singin' sensation throughout the land, Maow continue rockin' with original members Tobey Black and Corinna Hammond, and new drummer Nikki from Toronto's Stinkies. Hey now, the Smugglers just celebrated their tenth anniversary in high fashion, hosting a celebration weekend in their hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, September 18-20. Besides the wild rock 'n' roll, there was soccer, karaoke, bbqs and booze, plus fans and friends from all over the world, all in the name of the Smugglers' ten years.
Plans are also in the works for further anniversary shows in Toronto, Texas and Europe.
