I Just Read About That…

[DID NOT ATTEND: May 21, 22 & 23, 2024] Khruangbin / John Carroll Kirby

Back in 2022, Khruangbin  played the Met Philly and I wrote:

I’m intrigued by Khruangbin.  I wanted them to sound a little different than they originally did.  And then they made some EPs with Leon Bridges and they did sound different–more trippy, but more catchy as well.

I thought they’d be fun to see live.  My wife likes the EPs even more than I did, but she didn’t really want to see them.  So I refrained from buying tickets.

Now, two years later and I think we both like them more and I was all set to buy tickets but they were SO EXPENSIVE!  In fairness now I realize that they were expensive because the Ticketmaster pricing now shows the price with al the fees built in and I thought the high price didn’t include fees yet.  But I was still quite sure the price was way too high for a band that I thought was kind of under the radar.

Then they announced TWO MORE NIGHTS!  I think technically none is sold out, but they’re all pretty close.

Very impressive.

John Carroll Kirby is a pianist and composer who apparently resides more in the jazz/new age ether moreso than the rock realm.

His music seems pleasant enough.
