For reals. We saw him open for Lord Huron last year and all the old MFers showed up for a sit down show while we got hammered and went nuts. We were beautifully out of place. Shakey gave us a tip of the hat in between songs for our enthusiasm.
haha its not only that but if you listen to an interview he does, he says that all that bouncing around is like his way of unlocking his potential almost like in martial arts when you yell to increase the power of a strike. this mean really embodies his music perfectly
Oh yeah, this dude is absolutely enveloped in his songs, just saw him live the other day and he's such a powerful and moving musician that it's borderline condescending. The thing is it's not on purpose, he's so humble, he just has to get the music out a very particular way and allows himself to basically get possessed by his music in order to get it all out the way it's in his head
super good insight! mad cool getting a peak behind the curtain and into a crazy creative's brain. greatly appreciated! i would note, though: the interviewer is very knowledgeable and is awesome for doing his research, but he should let the guest say a lot of the stuff he does (i.e. explaining a big part of the homage recording tour instead of letting Shakey do that in full), while keeping the conversation feel that he provides with his very competent input. just some feedback, aloha!
Well... if you value them words, stay off the net if you value that net you're gonna suffer son, and if you don't wanna suffer, then you better... run...
