Alright I know I posted about him earlier but wanted to write briefly about our (Josh and myself) experience seeing Bazan at the Turf in St. Paul October 28.
Bazan: “are there any questions at this point in time in the show?”
Anonymous crowd member: “are you really a shit talker?”
Bazan: “well ya… I mean, isn’t everybody”
Accessible conversations throughout the night, the amazing two-piece Wye Oak and a great sound made this a top 5 show for me. Even though he put his relationship with God on the rocks and in the postmodern “in process” phase, this was one of the most spiritual shows I’ve been to in some time. On his blog after the show he said:
“Tonight’s show was another sellout, a nice change from last night’s show, and both Say Hi and BAZAN totally brought the ruckus to the twin cities. In terms of audience quality tonight was one of, if not the best, and the Turf Club is an amazing place to play. Act like you know.”
Listen to some live performances on Minneapolis’ 89.3 The Current from the day of that show here.
would’ve loved to see this (esp. in the twin cities). sounds like you guys caught a special one.
