    This man's blessed and my current boyfriend's union a month ago at his Vancouver show. Going to his concert was our first date and we were standing right near the front and he saw us making out during Friendzone funny enough and pointed directly at us and gave us the CHEEKIEST smile I have ever seen. Thundercat, I am forever grateful of you.

    Damn thundercat and grizzly bear...that would have been unbelievable. I missed my chance to see grizzly bear back then. They were touring for painted ruins and were in Knoxville which is 30 mins from me and i missed it over some work bs and got laid off that same week(after the show which, was on a Thursday and basically why i had to make a clearly shitty judgment call)...any damn way! It still haunts me in comments like this to this very moment. Thundercat was not with them. Even if he some how was. That is my stance. A man can only endure so much.

    @@TAD-LOW it was a crazy night! They performed outdoors at a music festival in city plaza here in Raleigh. I kept my eye waiting for Grizzly Bears tour bus to pull up at the back stage. Took me a couple try's but I was able to talk with and get autographs from each bandmate except for Ed Droste which I really wanted to talk to. Daniel Rossen didn't want to deal with me. Chris Taylor was super nice and I talked to him the longest. His solo album under the moniker, CANT is really good! I'd never heard of Thundercat until a few weeks before the show. He started off telling the audience that he was upset because hours before Mac Miller had died. He played a blistering set. I was awestruck.

    @@billstark696 yeah i think the Raleigh show was right b4 or after the Knox,TN show, which makes sense travel wise. Man that is awesome. I regret missin that show so much but god if it had been thundercat too? Pssh, I won't even entertain that notion. oh man he is a beast on bass too, for sure. That is freakin awesome u got to meet most of the Bear though. And so Daniel was not having it though huh? Haha, just based on him in certain interviews(he spoke in one about how he didn't really want to be in a band as a career choice, playing with them as just being "music is something he likes to do" and was about to hang it up when their whole thing just suddenly blew up and it became his life, i mean what!? Still he is great)he seems like he'd be a little less people personish then some of the others. Being a drummer myself i would have loved just to talk to Chris Bear. I think he is just one the best drummers around nowadays. His style is tricky and he makes some amazing choices in how he plays, very minimalist but dynamic and tasty, then suddenly busy as hell but still subtle never overplaying. And what he did on painted ruins? Get the hell outta here man. Like on"three rings" ? I mean wtf, by the end he is everywhere but the groove still feels so solid regardless. Huh, try it sometime is what i tell people who don't know whats up with grizzly bear. I mean to me, they are one the greatest, of anytime really, bands, but for sure these times. Its just like Thundercat too. there is amazing music out there, u just gotta dig a little left of center. but its a shame music like that doesn't dominate the airwaves when it should. Ah well, i gotta stop myself, i start talking cool music and i am go off on one. haha my bad. But hey, at least one of us made it to see them so i can see it as win. Oh and yes CANT is awesome. U ever check out "Department of Eagles" ? That's Daniel's other thing, he has Chris with him on drums in it a lot of it at times. U should check it out its good stuff, even if he wants to be a jerk about his social interactions. 😅
