Jon Rauhouse News

I remember back in ’99 trying to take a photo of Jon when he worked at “The Roberto Venn School of Lutiery” and I couldn’t believe the speed at which he made his exit from the room.

But he seems happier now to have his pic taken and posted on the web. He’s found one of him playing with Billy Bragg at SxSW 06 (right). Thanks to “Tadd” Poles Gallery, click the image for a much bigger version.

Unsure Shot also has some pics of Jon on their flickr page from a recent show with Neko. (Don’t know what they mean about “weird official site” through).

Also Alex Mayer has a good shot of Jon’s band back in 2004 at the Fillmore.

Tour dates for the European leg of the Neko Case tour have been posted up on the Tour Page.

The tour takes in the following countries – Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, France & England.

So if you can get along and check out some great live music.

A few more videos online featuring Jon, in sound if not in vision.

A couple of live tracks from a show at Antones in Austin, Tx on June 25th 2005

You can stream the clips at Google Videos
“Dirty Knife” :: “Alone and Forsaken”

Or you can download (in Quicktime movie format) them from the guy who filmed them, thanks to Cory Wright over at “Ants On The Melon”

Jon also plays banjo on the track “Maybe Sparrow” from Neko’s new album “Fox Confessor Brings The Flood” here’s the video for the track.

Here are a couple of live video clips of Neko Case with Jon, recorded at the Zoo in Seattle. September ’05.

Can’t see much of the man himself, but you get a touch of the quality that is the Rauhouse trademark.
