My friend & I were headed down to Charleston, SC, to meet up with old friends and see a concert, and we hear that Tanya was doing a free in-store performance at an indie music store there. So, my friend & I got up early to drive down there to see the show. Well, we get there just as she's supposed to be starting, and we see her walking out. Apparently, she walked in the store, said "There aren't enough people here", and turned around & walked out. While I still think she's talented, her attitude that day made it hard for me to be a fan. I don't blame her. This has nothing to do with her music. |

I have to share a story too, Tanya Donelly's web designer was a young woman with very bad ears. She had hearing aids in both ears and needed a surgery. Tanya threw a fundraiser for her through her website and sent out merchandise to everyone that donated. I sent $50 bucks to the cause and in return got a T-shirt (which was awesome since it replaced one that I'd lost to a GF in a break up), a couple of patches and a hand-written note from Tanya herself. This was probably 5 or 6 years ago. |

I was scheduled to do a book-signing at a local establishment. It had been advertised for three weeks prior to the actual date, and when I arrived there, no one had showed up. Yes, it's VERY discouraging, especially when you've put yourself out there with something you think is good and you get no response. I'm sorry Ms. Donelly wasn't happy with having a few people instead of a mosh-pit - not sure what she expected, but clearly, she had loftier ideals than what the Charleston public did. Feh. She's still very talented and quirky, but I wouldn't ask for her autograph - then again, I wouldn't ask for anyone's autograph. |
