Father John Misty

Fri 15 Feb 2013

Joshua Tillman, former drummer for Fleet Foxes, brings his latest incarnation Father John Misty to Perth. Along with his trademark swaggering dance moves, on-stage banter and a full band, Tillman drenches you with his blend of acidic humour and West Coast Americana folk-and-country rock.

Father John Misty are, excuse the cliché, a visual feast….He makes the performance as important as the music. Long story short, he has a fucking good time. And so do we. WWW.THEMUSIC.COM.AU

With a full band around him – two gifted guitarists, a bass player, a guy on synth and a drummer – the beautiful opening track from Fear Fun soared out in pristine condition, teeming with all the melancholy, nihilism and romance of the original recording, but bigger; impossibly big and warm and lovely.

Supported by Ruby Boots

Whipping up a hoedown one minute with chain-gang chants, blues guitar, honky-tonk piano and steam-train rhythms and blowing hats off the next with stories of a well-travelled life and the people who’ve shared the road, Ruby Boots always make sure you have a rollicking, foot-stomping time.

Tight folk-infused country music that sounds at once traditional and excitingly fresh. Another WA success story. BLUNT MAGAZINE
