Tonight’s show proves once again that The Brian Jonestown Massacre has reached a new level in their career. Their set is well rehearsed, their sound is flawless, and they have sold out the venue. There is very little standing room inside the Crescent Ballroom and fans have to squeeze through one another to reach the bar area or the bathrooms. Everyone is genuinely excited to watch the spectacle on stage. They seem delighted to hear songs from the new album AUFHEBEN like " Want To Hold Your Other Hand' and 'Clouds Are Lies."

Father John Misty is Josh Tillman's (ex-Fleet Foxes) latest identity and this time around he strives for honesty over escapism. After leaving Fleet Foxes, Tillman set out to capture the truth inside of himself that he felt must be hidden underneath the layers of 'alter-egos' he has been collecting over the years. Fear Fun, Father John Misty’s full length debut on Sub Pop reveals something worth singing about and the message is something one discovers at their own pace.
