Fanfarlo at Schubas (11.09.09)

Fanfarlo kicked off their first proper US tour tonight, with a sold out show at Schubas. Yes, they've been to the States before, for a mini-tour in September, SXSW, and CMJ, however it was definitely a treat for them to get things started this time around in Chicago. Playing under a sky of pennant flags, they covered many of the tunes off of the new release, Reservoir, which is out now via Canvasback/Atlantic. They also played two brand new songs, which lead singer, Simon Balthazar informed me were titled, "Atlas" and "Waiting In The Winds." Anyway, I highly recommend checking out one of the upcoming shows and definitely pick up the new release.


Setlist

01. Drowning Men
02. I'm A Pilot
03. Finish Line
04. Harold T. Wilkins Or How To Wait For A Very Long Time
05. Atlas (New Song)
06. The Walls Are Coming Down
07. Waiting In The Winds (New Song)
08. Comets
09. Luna

J. Tillman at Lincoln Hall (11.08.09)

J. Tillman and band played a lovely set to a crowd (probably) under 100, tonight at Chicago's newest venue, Lincoln Hall. Tracks ranging from most of his records, but mainly the two released this year, Vacilando Territory Blues and Year In The Kingdom, both out via Western Vinyl. Tillman's stage banter was quite comical as usual. Of course I currently cannot recall any of the witty remarks, but most dealt with the crowd size, football, violence, awkward "thank you's" and being an asshole. Beforehand, I had a brief chat with Joshua and asked what the progress was on the forthcoming Fleet Foxes record. His reply, "None, all those guys do is play video games." Interesting. Anyway, I highly recommend checking out one of the remaining shows from J. Tillman's first headlining tour.


Setlist

01. All You See
02. When I Light Your Darkened Door
03. No Occasion
04. First Born
05. With Wolves
06. Laborless Land
07. Vessels
08. Howling Light
09. Crosswinds
10. Though I Have Wronged You
11. Barter Blues
12. Wild Honey Never Stolen
13. An Occurrence At The River Jordan
14. There Is No Good In Me
15. New Imperial Grand Blues
--Encore--
16. James Blues
17. Year In The Kingdom
