Courtney Love Fans Pack NY Club For Live Show

[DudeAsInCool]

Chain-smoking and sporting a pack of burly security guards, a dangerously skinny Courtney Love took the stage at New York’s Hiro Ballroom last night at midnight for an hour and a half gig sponsored by Rolling Stone during which she showcased material from her upcoming Nobody’s Daughter and played a few classics, including “Malibu,” “Celebrity Skin” and “Doll Parts” and “Northern Star.”

Love mumbled candidly to the crowd in between new tracks, which were mostly mid-tempo and based around strummed acoustic guitar, comparing one fresh song to Lynyrd Skynyrd and another to Bon Jovi. When she wasn’t telling her band she was going to “fuck up another song,” she was shushing the crowd so she could tune her guitar, rambling about her “eating disorder,” complaining that feedback from the bass amp was making “fart sounds,” announcing that she’d worked with Linda Perry, dedicating songs to good pals in the audience (which was filled with hipsters, curiosity seekers, die-hard fans and old-school New York scenesters) and adjusting her outfit, which she described as a “onesie.”
