DAngerer09 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 yeah, that is a great bill- vanderslice puts on a pretty dang good live show as well. I would totally be at the Southgate House show, but I'm away on internships right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elixir Sue Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 I know nothing about John Vanderslice, but I did find his cover of "Karma Police" on Stereogum and it was pretty cool. I'll definitely stick around after TTMOE to check him out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stickman Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 I assume John Vanderslice is the headliner, would that be correct? I might head down to the LA show Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Elixir Sue Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 Thanks for posting that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Preferred B Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Thanks! I was lucky to see him open for Bon Iver back in December here, but was out of town for the most recent appearances. It's seemed like he's been in Wisconsin quite a bit over the past 6 months or so. I guess he's touring in the U.S. pretty vigorously - hopefully earning fans as he goes.

cooperissup3r Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 i'll preface this by saying i love TTMOE. he's great, music is excellent. that said, i think it's funny how some bands are required to "change" their direction every album these days, and some don't and no one complains about it. weird how that works.

trevor Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 So I'd heard about this guy a while back, around the time his debut disc Shallow Graves came out, but the immediate Dylan comparisons were a bit of a turn-off (that makes it sound like I don't like Dylan--not the case)...anyway, it was a while before I eventually checked the album out, and I didn't give it much of a chance at first. I think partly this was because the tracklisting was all messed up when I originally downloaded it, and there wasn't much flow to the album. I eventually got the tracklisting figured out and started really getting into it, but this wasn't until this past December or January. And then his next album, The Wild Hunt, which is due out in ten days time, leaked back in February. And it's really fantastic. It isn't a huge departure from what he's done previously--if anything, it seems like he's honed his craft to an even sharper point. There was a dark mysteriousness to the first album that's gone on the new one, which disappointed me at first, but in its place is an even stronger collection of songs, IMO. There's been a real leap in the quality of melodies, the lyrics are just as strong as before, and his voice (a point of contention for many, I'm sure) hasn't lost an ounce of that unique rawness. It's been a long time since I've been this captivated by just a guy and his guitar, and there's a timelessness about all these songs. They certainly don't feel like they were recorded in the past few years, but almost like they're long-lost relics that have just surfaced. I'll be seeing him on Sunday at Sasquatch! at the end of May, and he's playing here in Vancouver a couple weeks prior to that. Don't have tickets to the latter show yet, but I really need to get on that. Anyone checked out his self-titled EP? It's his one release that I've yet to hear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
you ever seen a ghost? Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 i'm a huge fan myself. anyway, to answer your question:i mean, the self-titled EP is easily as good as the debut album, just shorter. one song ("Into The Stream") is actually a repeat. if you are trying to complete your discography, there is a free track he donated to the Yellow Bird Project online (called "A Field Of Birds") and the "King of Spain" single from the new album has 2 b-sides. one is a cover of "Graceland" and another is a gorgeous, gorgeous balled called "Where I Thought I Met The Angels." -justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
