brownie Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Matthew was great! I was at the second table from the front, so excellent spot. He played 3 new songs, the best of which seems to be one called Trick, although it's really impossible to judge after only hearing these songs once. He asked if anyone there was a Kickstarter backer of his, so since I am, I went and introduced myself to him after the show to find out more about the cat sculpture I've been waiting three long years for now. *laughs*. What a nice guy. Btw, bring your sunglasses tonight Craig. You will be blinded in that place until the sun goes down. Even many of the staff were wearing sunglasses. Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 ahh thanks for the pointer was very sunny yesterday! I hope you get your sculpture soon I heard that he hasn't delivered in the 3 years since the kickstarter got started. Glad you had a good time and got to hang with Matthew sounds like a great night.

brownie Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I hope you get your sculpture soon I heard that he hasn't delivered in the 3 years since the kickstarter got started.Yeah, I'm sure I'll be getting it soon. He's been posting pix of the work in progress recently, so I'm sure it won't be long now. I didn't have the heart to ask him exactly when, because it was clear even during the show that he feels badly about having taken so long. But that's okay, I don't mind - I'd rather have an album he's happy with than one he just rushed out to meet some self-imposed deadline. I know his mom passed away since that Kickstarter campaign, and that can throw a major monkeywrench into anyone's life. Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 ^ I agree..I am excited for the new album and definitely could understand how he got delayed. https://youtu.be/yjMzXBju-UA Here's a video I took from last night Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 The Shins tonight. I was faced with the rare dilemma (in lil ol' Norfolk, VA) of having to choose between 2 shows: The Shins and Todd Rundgren. I made my decision based on ticket price and how close the venue is to my house. Link to post Share on other sites

remphish1 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 ^ I got there right around sunset was bad for about 10 minutes then the sun went behind the buildings. I also put up to other videos on youtube if you want to see. Show was great and it was a perfect spot to watch the show. He still sounds great! Link to post Share on other sites

tinnitus photography Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 ah, 3S is cool. a friend of mine used to book it, but he got sacked unfortunately. i dig his taste in music a lot, but i think it was a bit too esoteric for the area... I always wear earplugs at shows. my hearing is screwed up enough as it is. Link to post Share on other sites

The song "Pigs" from Animals was pure fire from Roger. Some of the audience was quite incensed and quite a few left the show. The guys right in front of me were flipping out and flipping birds at the screen when the Black Lives Matter signs showed up. The last sign was the "He's an asshole" in Spanish sign. The shower of confetti at the end was pink tickets with RESIST on them. So yeah, it's gonna be an interesting tour. Link to post Share on other sites
