Courtney Love Debuts New Songs In London

Courtney Love celebrated her birthday with her new band sampling new songs off her forthcoming album, Nobody’s Daughter, last night at Bush Hall in London. Audience members were winners of her Web site contest, where fans had to list their favorite bands, movie and the last CD they bought and get Love’s approval. Love played every song off her new album but one, “Can You Make Me Cry.” She also played Hole tracks like “Malibu,” “Miss World,” “Doll Parts” and “Celebrity Skin.”Love, who played with 20-year-old guitarist and former Larrkin Love member, Micko Larkin, kept the mood playful complaining about the Brits recent smoking-ban ("The only place I can smoke in England is the Houses Of Parliament! That's so retarded!") and the venue ("I guess I wanted chandeliers and shit sound. And what I got was chandeliers and shit sound.") Some things never change.Courtney Love, "Happy Birthday"Country Love’s Bush Hall setlist:'Samantha''Malibu''Stand Up Motherfucker'''Sunset Marquis''Miss World''Nobody's Daughter''Pacific Coast Highway''Doll Parts''Letter To God''How Dirty Girls Get Clean''Celebrity Skin''Never Go Hungry Again''For Once In Your Life' 'Loserdust''Northern Star''Happy Ending Story'
