Jay Reatard was a killer drummer too, yet could play guitar and bass and keyboards just as well. His voice was just the best tho: definitely hear the Rockn’roll of old time Memphis in his delivery. Like a Rockn’roll fiend returned to the world in anger!
Ty blows my mind, he's so prolific yet I love everything he's released. I'm listening to Fuzz a lot more these days but Ty's last 3 solo albums, Freedom's Goblin, First Taste and Harmonizer are exceptional recordings.
imo Ty's best was with the first group of 4 Ty , Mykal , Charlie , and Emily they were how do you say "young , dumb , and full of cum (not Emily) ty segall , lemons , and melted are three slabs of brilliance
caught these guys at the smell in los angeles right around this time. ON ACCIDENT!! after picking our faces up from the floor, my compatriots and I bought the hell outta that 7" on trouble in mind and I play it to this day. somebody should press this onto vinyl as well!
Awesome! I hate to just ignore the fact that you are probably a pretty good musician to be in that position, but did you get to meet the guys in Fuzz? What are they like?
+Mike Matteson No prob man! Yeah, I've met most of the dudes in that SF now LA circle and you may never meet somebody as down to earth as Ty Segall and Charlie Moothart, Mikal Cronin too, and of course Chad and Emily, and Thee Oh Sees. I think because they come at it from the garage side of things they understand that success comes mostly from sticking with it and being yourself, which myself coming from a punk/hardcore backround I totally dig looking at music that way. Ty is amazing and he deserves every last bit of credit he is getting, and Charlie too.
I was at their show here in Chicago in October 2013, primarily to see Purling Hiss. The sound was so incredibly awful at the Logan Square Auditorium, I couldn't appreciate FUZZ or Purling Hiss. I left angry, and without a proper appreciation of Fuzz. That has since been fixed 3x. If you get a chance to see these guys live, DO SO.
I was at that show as well and second the poor sound quality. Plus that place wouldn't let you go outside for smokes. Fortunately their ATM was outside and they let you outside to "withdraw money". Although the sound wasn't great, Fuzz was.
+E Maxon I was aat a music festival in 2015 and wasn't planning on watching them. When I started to listen to their concert I had to see who they were cause holy crap it was great. Was not disapointed.
