Ed Ackerson (american indie band "BNLX"):
"I was bowled over by the first PJ Harvey album when it came out. I was listening to it continuously in the van while my band the 27 Various was out on tour. One afternoon we were bumming around in Cambridge, Massachusetts, before playing a show. I was walking near Harvard Square, turned a street corner, and standing in front of me were PJ Harvey and her band! Turns out they were in town playing their third-ever U.S. show. They were happy but somewhat unnerved that some American indie rocker recognized them on the street, and I was unnerved because it seemed like they'd materialized out of a dream! They were playing at TT's, and we were playing at the Middle East, so sadly I didn't get to see them that time. I did see them a couple months later and then many times since. Polly Harvey is one of the greats, endlessly inspiring to us, and her drummer Rob Ellis is also a real force of nature.

You could listen to their cover of "
This Is Love" here:

P.S.: According to the gigography, they played in TT THE BEAR's PLACE (CAMBRIDGE, MA, U.S.A.) on 11th August 1992, and I believe it's
the first US show listed in there.
