Ffiinnaall Ffaannttaassyy (Final Fantasy & Matt Smith) @ The Kitchen, NYC - pics
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...

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.

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.
