« the week in Dance w/ Showtrotta (Matthew Herbert, Josh Wink, Modular Weekly, Findlay Brown & more...) | What's going on Saturday? »
words & photos by Kyle Dean Reinford
What a great show last night (2/6). And well run. Doors were at 7:45, and the show started promptly at 8. Final Fantasy (Owen Pallett) played about an hour with the addition of Matt Smith which made it "Ffiinnaall Ffaannttaassyy."
After one or two songs Owen invited us to move around and explore the space, to listen from different places in the room. The majority of the crowd stayed seated, but around 30 of us were moving around throughout. The sound really did change depending on where you stood because multiple amps were set up across the stage and each amp was pumping out different sounds. As you can see in the photos, they had free apples, the "Best Seat in the House" and the "Massage Chair".
Owen made it sound like this was the last time he'd be playing this way - that from now on he'd be playing with orchestras, rather than doing the looping that has somewhat defined him up to this point. Last time after tonight (2/7) that is.
And yes, they ran some of the electronics through an apple. More pictures and the setlist below...

Speaking of cute fans, anyone remember seeing some asian(?) guy with a picnic shirt, black coat and really nice burgundy dress shoes?

Does anyone know how much the new eps were?

any photos from the 10p.m show?
Posted by Ian | February 7, 2009 9:00 PM
Man, those apples were killer! Too bad he's leaving his childhood days of looping behind him, but its about time for the big boy's orchestra. The collaboration with matt smith was spectacular; owen sure knows how to engage his super cute audience.

Great show and crowd tonight...Makes up for the general rudeness of the Beirut crowd on Friday night at BAM...Owen totes went to the Eagle to get his hair did, didn't he.

Can't believe I missed this!!! Aaargh!

Thanks for the great pics. I was at Saturday night's show, and it was one of the most interesting, enjoyable show experiences I've ever had. And the apple was awesome since I hadn't had time for dinner.

Why would anybody think that you can post something like that online and not get called out for it. This is the Internet, people will say and do anything under the vale of anonymity.

Lots students pass the responsibility to qualified writers because they don't have the ability to write a good paper about this post so that the reason why students need to use plagiarism detector, but such people like author don't do that. Thanks for the topic
