Was at this set. First time I saw Shellac. Didn't even realise they played 'Dude, Incredible' five years before it released. Also remember Steve or Bob mentioning that Steve would be playing poker later during the day (presumably in his chalet), and invited people to join if they were interested.
@wincekthomas Woah, buddy. The muffled sound is due to the camera, not the sound man. Elliot Dicks is Shellac's sound man 98% of the time, and he's literally the best there is. Do you really think Albini (of all people) would hire a shit sound guy to tour around the world with him? Elliot does sound for Tortoise, too. He's also the nicest guy in the entire fucking world. Before I knew him, I asked people who he was, because every show I saw him do sound for sounded perfect.
Its just a compact camera with a stereo array of 2 tiny mics. It does a half decent job but no way does it do justice to the sound. This gig blew my mind and I've been to a lot of shows over the last 20+ years
Finally, that guitarist guy learned how to play 🙄 On a serious note, Shellac are possibly one of the last bands with longevity still doing something different, interesting, and amazing.
Yeah, this and The Frogs video are my favourite videos of the weekend. Some great footage of the Shellac drummer - what a star! I'd really like to know what this track is called so I can hunt it down.
if we're lucky, it'll be on the new record they hinted at coming out. I just saw them in August in Chicago and they were talking about putting out something new (relatively) soon.
