Primus / Ty Segall (The Rooftop at Pier 17, New York, NY, July 21, 2025)

[DID NOT ATTEND: July 21, 2025] Primus / Ty Segall

I’ve seen Primus four times.  And yet I’ve never seen them as just Primus.  I saw them in the 90s which was great.  Then I saw them play their Desaturated Seven album, which was fine, but the  extra songs were what I really wanted to here.  I saw them play Rush’s A Farewell to Kings, which was awesome, but again, not really Primus.  And I saw them with Puscifer this summer but it wasn’t really their show.  So, this would have been a great opportunity to see them.

But, while the Rooftop is an amazing venue, it’s a massive pain in the ass to get to.  So I’d need to have someone really special playing there to haul ass there.  And Primus wasn’t it.

Probably because Ty Segall was opening.  I have had no luck seeing this guy.  I have missed him on six occasions for one reason or another.  So, I’ll blame Ty.

Ty Segall / Mikel Cronin (Ukie Club, Philadelphia, PA, April 15, 2025) [DID NOT ATTEND]

[DID NOT ATTEND: April 15, 2025] Ty Segall / Mikal Cronin

I have tried to see Ty Segall many times and something always comes up. I’d like to see him with his band, but I’ve even tried to see him solo.  I think his solo acoustic stuff is fun, but he’s so much more wild with the band (and amplification).

There were actually FIVE shows I wanted to go to tonight.  Ty Segall’s was second on my list because I would have much rather seen Tomato Flower.

It’s possible that I’ve given up trying to see Ty Segall after failing once again.

Mikal Cronin plays with Ty Segall pretty often.  I really enjoyed his album MKII.  Like Ty, I’d rather see him all fuzzed out on amplifiers.  But I’m sure his solo stuff is fun too.

Ty Segall / Sharpie Smile (Union Transfer, Philadelphia, PA, April 28, 2024)

[DID NOT ATTEND: April 28, 2024] Ty Segall / Sharpie Smile

I bought a ticket to this show in August.  AUGUST!  I’d been waiting nine months to see Ty Segall (as I’d missed him five previous times for various reasons).  I didn’t really want to see him solo, and I assumed this was  full band show (which it was).

But then our friends invites us over for a Passover Dinner and we couldn’t say no.  I thought maybe I could squeeze in the show afterward, but damn, that’s a long dinner.

I’m about to give up on ever seeing Ty Segall.  Next time he announces a local show, I’m no buying a ticket ahead of time.

Sharpie Smile is a dup who were formerly called Kamikaze Palm Tree.  (more…)

Ty Segall (solo acoustic) / Mike Donovan (White Eagle Hall, Jersey City, NJ, November 10, 2023) [DID NOT ATTEND]

[DID NOT ATTEND: November 10, 2023] Ty Segall / Charles Moothouse

Last year, about a Ty Segall show that I missed, I wrote:

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.

When I finally do get to see Ty Segall, I want it to be with a big noisy fuzzy band, not as an acoustic performer.

So, I opted to give this one a miss.  Wonder if I’ll regret it someday.

Well, it’s a year or so later and he’s back with a solo show in New Jersey and I feel the same way.  Luckily, I’m going to see him (I assume with a band) in April in Philly.

I went to high school with someone named Mike Donovan.  When I saw that this Mike Donovan was roughly the same age as me I wondered if it could be him.  But this one is from San Francisco.   He is “best known” as the guitarist and singer of Sic Alps (2004-2013).

He has a few solo albums that are kind of sloppy anti-folk.  Probably okay live but I’ll never listen to him on purpose.

[DID NOT ATTEND: November 24, 2022] Ty Segall / Charles Moothouse

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 been in Philly three times this year.  Once with his band Fuzz.  Next with the Freedom Band and now as an acoustic solo artist.

I was trying to slow my shows down a bit by the end of this year (I had seen so many!).  Plus, when I finally do get to see Ty Segall, I want it to be with a big noisy fuzzy band, not as an acoustic performer.

So, I opted to give this one a miss.  Wonder if I’ll regret it someday.

Charles Moothouse was an unfamiliar name to me, but that’s because I’ve never read Ty Segall’s liner notes.  Wikipedia tells me

Charles Frances Moothart is an American multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter. … Moothart is the drummer for Ty Segall’s current backing band, The Freedom Band. He was previously the guitarist for Segall’s backing band, the Ty Segall Band, and is the guitarist and vocalist in the pair’s hard rock project, Fuzz. Additionally, he is a member of Segall’s collaborative project with Ex-Cult’s Chris Shaw, GØGGS.

So, yea I guess they were a good match.

Ty Segall & Freedom Band / Shannon Lay (Union Transfer, Philadelphia, PA, June 24, 2022) [rescheduled date] [DID NOT ATTEND]

[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.

Fuzz / Electric Candlelight (Underground Arts, Philaelphia, PA, April 11, 2022) [rescheduled date–rescheduled again] [DID NOT ATTEND]

[DID NOT ATTEND: April 11, 2022] Fuzz / Electric Candlelight

This week was supposed to be an intense week of concerts for me.  I don’t really like when they all line up in one week. but what can you do?

Then we decided to go on vacation (it was Spring Break), so I blew off all of these shows.

This second show was with Fuzz.  Fuzz is one of Ty Segall’s bands.  He plays drums in this one and, as their name suggests, they play fuzzy psychedelic music.  I thought  this would be a fun show even though I didn’t know the band all that well.

Besides, I had tickets to Ty Segall later in the summer as well.

Electric Candlelight is a Philly-based band who sound right up my alley.  Here’s a brief write up:

Electric Candlelight — the newly minted four-piece is led by singer Owen Stewart from Ruby The Hatchet and guitarist Justin Pittney, formerly of Residuels and Moon Women. The heavy psychedelic band is rounded out by Max Jonas from Tough Shits on bass, Joshua Aaron from The Lawsuits band on drums, and Ali Awan on guitar. The group made its debut this week with a single called “Another Year Gone By,” a six-minute-long thrasher with ample guitar melodies and the drive of Stewart’s raspy, Credence-esque vocals that offer an element of Ruby The Hatchet’s psychedelic hard rock.

Sounds like it would have been a trippy, fun show.

But D.C. was a wonderful trip, so no regrets.

And Markit Aneight has a video of the whole show from Fuzz

And from Electric Candlelight too!

Ty Segall and the Freedom Band (Union Transfer, Philadelphia, PA, August 19, 2021)–[rescheduled]

Posted in Coronavirus, Philadelphia, PA, Postponed, Ty Segall, Ty Segall and the Freedom Band, Union Transfer on August 19, 2021| Leave a Comment »

[POSTPONED: August 19, 2021] Ty Segall and the Freedom Band [rescheduled from October 2, 2020; moved to June 24, 2022]

Another postponement, but in the meantime, Ty has released at least one album, and there will probably be more by next June.

index

Ty Segall is one of the more prolific artists out today.  He’s in about a dozen bands, and he releases a solo album (or two or three) a year.  He plays a garagey rock that has lots of energy and fuzz.

I can’t say I like all of music mostly because I haven’t even heard most of it. But everything that I have heard I’ve enjoyed.  And every live videos I’ve seen of him makes me think that his live show is not to be missed.

I was hoping to see him playing with his band Fuzz also this year, but that was postponed as well.  It’s interesting that Fuzz was going to play at the tiny Underground Arts while Ty and his Freedom Band were going to play at the much larger Union Transfer.

I hope both shows go on as planned–it would be a fun couple of shows.

Fuzz (Underground Arts, Philadelphia, PA, February 13, 2021) [rescheduled date–rescheduled again]

[POSTPONED: February 13, 2021] Fuzz [rescheduled from June 27, 2020; moved to April 11, 2022]

indexPostponing shows for a second or third time is certainly depressing.  But it’s also a sign of hope.  The belief that there will be live music again.  Even if it’s a year away. This show has been moved to April 11 of next year and I just bought a ticket to make sure the venue knows I’m coming.

Ty Segall is one of the more prolific musicians out there.  He has released 12 official albums in ten years and that doesn’t include the countless self-released material he has put out.  He is also in a bunch of other bands.  Fuzz is one of them.

I can’t believe that there wasn’t a band named Fuzz before Ty Segall and Charles Moothart came up with the band.

Segall makes all kinds of music, but the music of Fuzz is pretty easy to categorize–fuzzy, heavy, fast rock with a debt to early Black Sabbath.  Segall is on drums for this project.

They have only released two albums since 2013, with Fuzz II coming out five years ago.  But it was a big album with a 13 minute jam at the end.

I’ve often thought about seeing Ty Segall–he seems like a bonkers performer–but it never worked out.  He can’t be quite as crazy behind the drums, but this sounds like a great show.
