Neko Case (born September 8, 1970, in Alexandria, Virginia) is an American singer and songwriter, best known for her solo career and her contributions as a member of the Canadian indie rock group The New Pornographers.
Case moved around often as a child, spending the largest part of her youth in Tacoma, Washington. She left her parents at age 15 and three years later she started playing drums for several bands around the Northwest's punk rock scene.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
*UPDATE* Some are suggesting playing a C/B instead of G/B. I think the chord is actually something like Gadd11/B Scary name, but an easy chord: x2001x Use your ears and pick which one you think sounds best.
