[ATTENDED, April 24, 2015] Kishi Bashi
This is our second time seeing Kishi Bashi in about a year. As Sarah said, I’m really glad we saw him in the State Theater first because in that venue, you could really see what he was doing with his feet and his other gear (well, and the sound was better). But it was so much fun seeing him in this venue because the show was very different.
But still it was just him and his violin (and a bunch of looping pedals) and, man, is his good.
Whether it was the lack of seats or just more confidence on stage, K. was a more wild performer. At this venue we stood one the floor (and marveled at how we are apparently very short). We could see his head and torso (bow tie and leather vest) but not his feet.
He opened the show with “Atticus, in the Desert,” my favorite song of his. He did some really fun beatboxing and sound manipulation (even commenting that one of the beats was “sick” and that he had to try to remember what he did) he improvises a lot of beats and is really good at it. (more…)
