Big Thief - Live at Gateway City Arts (Full Set)

Музыка

September 13, 2017 - We traveled a few hours west on the Mass Pike to capture Brooklyn-based Big Thief perform live at Gateway City Arts in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Guitarist Buck Meek was not able to make the show so the band’s set took on a particularly intimate vibe interspersed with moments of full-volume energy. Amongst the backdrop of late summer cicadas by the canals of downtown Holyoke-- Adrianne, Max and James were kind enough to talk with us about becoming a band, touring, and the importance of being present as much as possible.
Setlist:
VELVET RING 1:14
HUMANS 4:20
MYTHOLOGICAL BEAUTY 7:57
SHARK SMILE 13:00

    @Ellis Bell James is amazing on the drums I agree and Max is such a big part of their sound as well. They are the band that I know of where everyone is totally engaged in the performance like no-one else and plays exactly what they should play almost all of the time. I do wish to see them live one day.

    Right century, but I agree with the rest! Born in another century, she could not have been so open in her songwriting about her relationships with other women, and that's a running theme in a lot of her songs. As a woman who is also queer, she would have struggled for acceptance in the industry no matter her talents.
