An equally rollicking and melancholy variety of , , and , Neko Case & Her Boyfriends was the name of Neko Case’s first band as lead singer and principal songwriter. Neko Case herself (born September 8, 1970 in Alexandria, Virginia) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for her solo career and as a member of The New Pornographers. She began playing in the local Vancouver scene before forming her own alt-country band Neko Case & Her Boyfriends.

Her music is frequently labeled alternative country, although Case doesn’t describe it in that way. She recorded and toured for several years as Neko Case & Her Boyfriends before switching to her own name. Case primarily writes her own material, but she also performs and has recorded cover versions of songs by artists such as Loretta Lynn, Tom Waits, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Bob Dylan, and Hank Williams. She frequently infuses humorous narratives into her live sets, a habit she says she gained from her grandmother and Wanda Jackson.

She is protective of her artistic independence, combining punk’s “do it yourself aesthetic,” a strong business sense, and clear opinions about her artistic goals. She has spurned offers from major record labels because they don’t offer her enough control of her music, remaining affiliated with Mint Records in Canada and Bloodshot and ANTI- in the U.S.
