Jennifer O'Connor has announced a solo tour with the inspirational Kaia Wilson, the singer and guitarist of one, of my newest '90s discoveries Team Dresch. I saw Wilson play in December in Brooklyn when she covered the lovely "Pretty Is" by Suture, the short lived project of Kathleen Hanna. I'm excited to hear her original solo work. O'Connor said the following via a Facebook note of the tour:
I'm pleased that the tour is coming to Brooklyn and Hoboken--some of my favorite places to see shows.I'm doing a week of shows with Kaia (of The Butchies, Team Dresch & Kaia!) in May and couldn't be more excited. Kaia has been a hero of mine since I was nineteen and rocking out to the first Team Dresch record in my dorm room. She rules and these shows will be really fun. We are each going to play a solo set and we're gonna do some songs together too. I've got a bunch of new songs and so does Kaia. I am also open to your set list suggestions.
