It was mainly straightforward heavy guitar-driven Captain Beefheart/The Electric Prunes-esque trippy garage rock songs. Their entire set was electric and white hot. For the second half of the set, I bounced my way through the largely drunk crowd over to the side of the stage directly in front of Ty. What followed was an electric church service and the best lot of concert photos I ever took at Ottobar.įor the first half of their set, I was directly in front of Tim. Tim Presley aka White Fence smoked half a cigarette on stage, stomping it out on the floor right before the start of the first song. I was pressed firmly up against the stage for the whole show.
Once zeroing in on my spots, I made my way through the smiling crowd.
After thoroughly scanning over all the vinyl, I wiped away the drool and began identifying my photographic vantage positions. Ty had several different vinyl records for sale and a few t-shirts as well. Stream Joy by Ty Segall & White Fence on Spotify: Don’t nod out or you’ll miss out, kiddies. Ty Segall & White Fence newest record Joy clocks in at only 31 minutes. Drift too far into euphoria and the album will be over. You can just close your eyes and drift off into a druggy nirvana. These are both great indie rock albums in my opinion. This album is the follow-up to their 2012 collaboration Hair. Ty Segall & White Fence decided to team up again recently and released an album of new material titled Joy. The band were drinking beer and a good amount of the audience were joining along. The venue wreaked of beer and stale cigarette smoke. Even the fans were somewhat purposely sloppy. The sound of Ty Segall & White Fence has all the epic fuzzy-ass guitar noises you can dream of careening into sweet angelic harmonies, slithering bass and drum rhythms, and a somewhat purposely sloppy delivery from all four musicians involved. Their songs are well-crafted, short, and to the point. It’s a clever mix of folk, psychedelic, stoner, garage, punk, and pop rock. The sound and energy of Ty Segall & White Fence in some ways seems to be tailormade for me. I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect or how the energy of the music would translate, but of course I was not one bit disappointed. This was my first time having the pleasure of seeing Ty Segall & White Fence perform. I’ve seen Ty Segall four times in the past, but those shows were mainly Segall as a solo artist. This time around, he paid a visit to Ottobar in Baltimore with fellow musical genius and American musician/singer-songwriter Tim Presley aka White Fence.
