Incredible gig
Ty and his band were absolutely on fire. The myriad influences that infuse his work were at play. 'First taste' had almost progressive rock/space rock flourishes, whilst Manipulator hammers away with psychedelic goodness. He is so talented and to see him hopping between drums and guitar was awesome. A massive shout out to his vocals as well, surprisingly good, especially on 'first taste'. The band was so tight, played with great technique and immersion. I adore psychedelic music, in fact live for it, and this was amongst some of the most monstrously good psych I've heard at a gig since Wooden Shjips some 5 or 6 years ago. I spent the entirety of the next day avoiding conversation and listening again to the entirety of his works. Amongst the 40-50 gigs I've been to (not that many compared to some, but not bad), I would rank this in the top 5- high praise indeed. My only grumble is people living in the world of the simulacram, by endlessly recording a gig on their phone, whilst not being immersed/lost in the music. Furthermore, how people don't dance and move to such intoxicating music is simply beyond me. A great and memorable gig.

Sublime
Energergising. Life affirming and utterly wonderful. I feel very privileged. Joker was the best film this year and ty segall was the best gig. I was the quiet one at the back. Xxcc
