Bonnie Montgomery to open Gossip's Fall US tour

The news just keeps rolling in today.

Ms. Bonnie Montgomery just posted the news on her Facebook page that she'll be opening the Fall leg of Gossip's US tour. Bonnie's retro-rockabilly should make for an interesting contrast to Gossip's punk-inspired disco/glam. But it should all be awesome. Gossip's 2009 show at Vino's is still one of the best live shows I've ever seen, and Bonnie is a fantastic entertainer. I would love to hear her and Beth Ditto do a duet if for no other reason than to hear Ditto sing country. I'll post the tour dates as soon as they're announced. The tour dates are listed below. Hopefully, Gossip guitarist, Nathan Howdeshell, will be backing up Bonnie on this tour as he has at her appearances around town and on the road for the last several months. The tour will be in support of "Cruel," Bonnie's debut 7" and CD for Howdeshell's indie label Fast Weapons.

Here is a live clip of my personal favorite Bonnie Montgomery track, "But I Won't."


This is Gossip's latest single, "Move in the Right Direction"
