Upcoming/Recent Shows

Seeing Sylvan Esso backed by a full band was rad as hell.

Through good fortune and the kindness of a stranger, I was able to catch the David Byrne American Utopia show in NYC. I kept my phone away most of the show, photos & video were not banned but it was kindly suggested that we keep it to a minimum. I only took a few.

I highly recommend it if you can get there before February when it closes.

Julia Jacklin is playing a sold out show at Neumos in Seattle tonight. I'm not going since I've already seen her a couple of times this year and there's a lot coming up, including Kikagaku Moyo w/Minami Deutch, and I can't go to everything. Anyway... here's a photo that I just got around to editing from when I saw her at Pickathon back in August

I saw Kishi Bashi last night at Omeara in London. What an eventful night! Firstly I was one of the first in the queue and managed to get to the very front. Tall Tall Trees was the warm up (and later part of Kishi's trio) and just superb, I had never heard of him before but was blown away but the sounds he was able to make with just 1 instrument! The main gig started and it was one just a perfect example of live shows done right. Got a high five from Kishi as he ran around the tiny stage and as he left to get ready for the acoustic encore (in the middle of the crowd) he told me to jump up on the stage to get a better view. So there I was standing on the stage overlooking all the crowd watching Kishi Bashi...unreal. Then at the end rather than push to get out I let the bulk of the crowd leave, and next thing Kishi pops out and gives me the set list, which he signs and calls the other 2 performers (Tall Tall Trees and Emily Hope Price) to get them to sign it. Brilliant night, im definitely going to see him again if he comes back to London next year!

I knew his Euro leg of the tour started and I checked this post hoping to see if you enjoyed the show! Check!!!

Kishi and TTT (not familiar w third musician) are so talented it's just absurd. I generally feel a mixture of awe, inspiration and joy watching them perform. Sounds like you had an incredible experience from start to finish, and the interaction with Kishi make the experience even better. Listening to "I Am The Antichrist to You" live is an experience more people need to have.

Completely agree with you! I had goosebumps when he played that song, I actually first heard him on NPR live (youtube) and when he played that song I was hooked.

The third musician, Emily Hope Price, was superb. She has recorded with Kishi Bashi on a few song I believe.

What I found really interesting is that he took a few minutes between some of the songs to explain the story behind them. It made it so much more interesting when listening to the songs. He also has a film coming out which covers the research and lead up to writing the tracks for his latest album.
