[DID NOT ATTEND: November 5, 2022] Ty Segall & Freedom Band / Shannon Lay [rescheduled from October 2, 2020 and June 24, 2022]
I have become a fan of Ty Segall in the last few years. He releases far too much music to keep tabs on him, but I’ve wanted to see his fuzzed out live show for a while now.
He has had a bunch of shows in Philly, both with Freedom Band and with his other band Fuzz get postponed over and over again.
Back in April the Fuzz show was finally rescheduled and I was really excited to see them. But we wound up going on vacation that week instead.
Now came this show, which I didn’t realize would be as amazing as it is (if this KEXP live performance is any indicator).
But my son was leaving for a trip to Europe in a couple of days and I wanted to spend time with the family. So I blew off this show.
Now, since he puts out new music all the time, I have to assume he’ll be back next year (and I hope with this kick ass band).
Shannon Lay is a former punk and now folk singer. Her songs are quite lovely but 100% unlike Ty Segall & Freedom Band.
However, Ty Segall also plays acoustic shows–he has one coming up in Philly in November (so that’s three shows in Philly in one year). and I wonder if she has played with him in these solo settings.
