# Pj Harvey Does Los Angeles in Style!

good evening! so last night i was so lucky to attend **[pj harvey](http://pjharvey.net/)**'s (join her on [myspace](https://myspace.com/pjharvey)) only show here in los angeles - in fact it was only one of two shows she had planned for the states to showcase her new haunting album **[white chalk](http://www.amazon.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com)** ([she played NYC last week](http://theskyreport.blogspot.com/2007/10/pj-harvey-graces-beacon-theatre.html)) i've been a fan of ms. harvey's for over ten years now - i originally discovered her through a friend who convinced me that i needed to listen to her album **to bring you my love** - i was instantly sold upon first listen on the british girl who could be kicking it one minute - howling the next - then possibly reducing to a sexy whisper or growl - her 'take no prisoners' rock element was always there - that's probably why her latest _8th studio album_ actually threw me for a total loop! it's stripped down - bare - quiet & intimate - it wasn't what i was expecting at all but after last night's show and a number of listens today - i'm very impressed and quite like her latest outing - it just takes a little getting into!

she played completely solo - no backup band - playing a myriad of instruments including electric & acoustic guitar, piano, a cymbal, a harmonica, a mini-harp, plus she had drum loops! she was dressed in this white victorian style dress - which seemed straight of of 'wuthering heights' (the same one on [the cover](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:WC_cover.jpg) of her latest album - probably not the most comfortable thing to wear while rocking out) lyrics to her songs were scrawled all over it which she joked about - through the evening she came across as confident, friendly but shy & timid as well - she ran through a bunch of new & old material playing about an hour and thirty minutes - her voice was stunning - and the vintage feel of the [orpheum theater](https://goo.gl/ACmz2h) (built back in the 1920s) helped add to the overall classy - and a drop creepy feel - but creepy in a very good way - if that makes any sense at all!

pj reminded me of a lonely (but not sad) semi-mad scientist cooking up musical spells & potions on stage decorated with various odd knick-knacks (which would make the perfect diorama) yes she's a little kooky but gosh what a talent - i could go on & on about her! at age 37 - she's still in her prime - i know we'll be hearing much more from ms. polly jean! many thanks go out to popbytes' pals **sam** & **penny** for helping me secure an amazing seat to witness **pj harvey**'s sheer musical brilliance in person! (special shout outs to **euan** & **angel** as well) below i've posted two pictures from the show - a video of her 'down by the water' performance - as well as a live performance of 'white chalk' from last month - an incredible track from her latest album! i've been loving going to all these shows recently and this friday i'll be attending the ultimate guilty pleasure show...**marc anthony** & **jennifer lopez** - i'm so stoked! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo! (oh my gosh i almost forgot - when i left the venue i purchased this awesome hand silk screened poster made by 'vox pop press' commemorating the night for $10 bucks - which i'm so getting framed!)

**PS** you must read [ann powers' review](https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2007-oct-17-et-harvey17-story.html) in the **los angeles times**!

**setlist -**
to bring you my love
send his love to me
when under ether
the devil
white chalk
man-size
angelene
my beautiful leah
nina in ecstasy
electric light
shame
snake
big exit
down by the water
grow grow grow
the mountain
silence

**encore -**
rid of me
water
the piano
the desperate kingdom of love
