bonobo + shigeto


IMG_0581

Amy and I went up to Burlington on Sunday afternoon to catch Bonobo at Higher Ground. I do wish we were a little closer to a venue like that, because a lot of good stuff comes around, but you make the effort from time to time. Can’t say I had ever heard of Shigeto and I didn’t do my homework ahead of time so I didn’t quite know what to expect. Turns out he was two tables over from us at dinner before the show, but I didn’t know it till he came out on stage and started twisting some knobs on the digitabulator. It also turns out I’m a fan as this came out of the speakers.

My only regret is that I didn’t get this silky smoothness from the very beginning, but I was a little skittish on the recording. You can hear Amy in the middle tell me I’m going to get in trouble. 🙂 She disappeared at one point, probably to tell teacher.

I’ve since picked up some of his jams and in an uncharacteristic move I’ve “Liked” him on Fuckbuckets. When he wasn’t taking a breather on the computer he was wailing away on a pretty paired down drum kit. Man, I really wish I could have recorded his whole set. It was very, very nice. We were pretty close to the stage since all the cool people still hadn’t shown up yet for Bonobo. Then we took to the back of house to get ourselves up on the elevated area so that short stuff could see the stage for the main event.

All in all, a really good night out! The show ended at midnight, we stopped to gas up on fries and coffee, and hit the road. Even with the foggy bits I managed to carve 20 minutes off of the 1:45 trip. Wwwwwrrrrrrrx at night!

Let me ask you this – 27 year old ladies of the airhead variety. Why do you pay $20 to spend 3 hours screaming at your friends in the back of da club, not listening to music? Is it to be seen, or what?
