Smart Indie Popster John Vanderslice, in support of his amazing new album Emerald City, is pushing a new performance method for some of us more shallow-pocketed concert goers having a hard time deciding which shows we're gonna miss: an online tour.
Vanderslice, with backing band in tow, packed into his recording studio (Tiny Telephone in San Francisco) and taped a live set from which tracks would surface one at a time in different internet locations. I highly recommend the second stop of his online tour over at gorillavsbear.net - there they have "White Dove" - John's latest single and a damn fine rendition of it. Check out the new album on iTunes here -
