Couple of nice interviews with Marianne prior to her first dates Down Under in a decade.

The Australian

The Daily Telegraph

Thought this bit in The Daily Telegraph interview was particularly interesting:
"For the (Sydney) festival, she's lining up as part of the aptly-named Rogue's Gallery in a performance conceived by actor Johnny Depp when he was filming the first Pirates Of The Caribbean.

Along with a line-up of local and international pop, rock and folk artists, including David Johansen from the '70s cult band New York Dolls, and actor-musician Tim Robbins, Faithfull will be performing pirate ballads and the earliest form of punk music - sea chanteys - on the Sydney Opera House Forecourt."

She also says that Keith has quit drinking.  


Marianne's got a few upcoming US shows:
1/13 - Lincoln Center/The Allen Room, NYC
1/15 - Don Gibson Theater, Shelby NC
1/16 - The Florida Theatre, Jacksonville FL
