july 2001

 

As a surprise to most fans, in 1999 the Blake Babies decided to try a reunion. The band that started Juliana's musical career got back together after having split up almost a decade ago. They recorded an album "God bless the Blake Babies" and in March 2001 set off on a quite successful tour around the US.

My initial reaction was that - OK this would have been interesting to see, but unless they actually come to Europe I'll have to miss out on that one. Then they ended up scheduling 4 extra shows on the east coast during 4 consecutive days of July, and this happened to coincide with a work related exhibition in NYC. That was a chance that I had to grab, so I ended up being present at all 4 shows!

Here's a full diary and quite a few pictures to go with it too:
