Ok, maybe the second row. YooToob is chock full of footage from the first ever Julian Plenti U.S. tour, but with all due respect to the aspiring videographers out there, the above clip —- “Only If You Run”, from the November 18 show at SF’s Great American Music Hall —is one of the better looking/sounding from the pile.

The man, the myth, the legend, Julian Plenti, brings his live show extravaganza to the Seattle airwaves today with a performance for KEXP. You can catch the set live at 3PM PST (6PM EST) on the dial at 90.3FM and online at KEXP.org.
Plenti and his bandmates then will thrill and amaze at Chop Suey later this evening, before continuing their tour in Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, New York and Philadelphia through the rest of November.
Tomorrow night, Julian Plenti kicks off his November US tour at the House of Blues, San Diego in support of his debut release, Julian Plenti…Is Skyscraper.

Though it might lack the storyline and starpower of Javier Aguilera’s terrific video for the same song, suffice to say we were awfully impressed with Julian Plenti’s network television premiere this past Friday night.
Hot on the heels of Tuesday’s release of “Julian Plenti is…Skyscraper” (buy it here), the mystery man doesn’t clear a whole lot up with this double-take on identity and fidelity (or something like that). Killer noir vibes from director Javier Aguilera.
AOL Spinner is telling us that Plenti’s costar is none other than Emily Haines of Metric.
Television watchers (and next-day-YouTubers) take note: Julian will be making his world-debut live appearance (playing “Games for Days”) TOMORROW NIGHT (Friday) on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. NBC affiliates, 12:35/11:35 Central.
WIN a pair of tickets (and the new album) for the BAND BENCH (next to the stage) for tomorrow’s JIMMY FALLON taping/performance of Julian Plenti in New York City.
How? Recreate the following promo photo on your own and email to heathermacintyre@beggars.com – winner will be announced at 10am tomorrow 8/7:
*Ticket winners ust be 17+ of age & required to show up at NBC studios at 3:45pm
