Wilfrid Posted December 5, 2024 Author Share Posted December 5, 2024 I did see the new U.S. dates, nothing in the northeast yet. As I just booked a roundtrip to Barcelona to see them, I think I can skip Boise with a good conscious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 Four hours to Hinds. Too early to start drinking but I think I've had enough cafe solos for one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfrid Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 The show, in an old ballroom with a kind of red glow, was spectacular and the audience reaction the wildest I've yet seen. After the show, I got lucky. My friend and I went for refreshments to a craft beer bar nearby. We must have been there thirty or forty minutes and when we came out there was a gaggle of people outside a different bar. I just immediately saw drummer Maria's afro; which is quite distinctive. She was with bassist Paula so I went up and said hello, then I knew I had to say "Where is Ana? She knows me." And suddenly there she was and she did know who I was. Hugs, conversation, selfies. I said I wasn't very good at selfies, Ana said "I am" and grabbed my phone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywood Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Looks like you got one extra song, "Girl So Confusing." Nice snaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Was that the last song in the regular set? I certainly didn't know it. Some video on IG for anyone interested. By the way, Ana and I aren't singing above. She said we had to shout "Noo Yawk!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hollywood Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 First song in the encore. A Charli XCX cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Oh that must be it. I don't know the Charli really. Guess what the second encore was, extra points for shouting Gabba Gabba Hey wherever you are now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
small h Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I Wanna Be Sedated? I know, it's very obvious, but it's the first thing that popped into my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 Ooh no, there's a history. Hinds encore with "Davy Crockett," a furious blast from a British all-woman band called Thee Headcoatees. That song quotes the Ramones' "Pinhead," which in turn quotes a scene from a 1930s movie "Freaks" which has so much contemporary relevance I could cry. @small h If you knew all that please remember it's late here...

And now I have the Fess Parker song stuck in my head, which is unpleasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per setlist.fm the second encore song was "En Forma." Last was "Davy Crockett." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfrid Posted February 3 Author Share Posted February 3 Recently posted on YouTube, full set from Brighton last October. Pretty good quality too. It says full set, but 52 minutes seems a bit short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfrid Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 I watched it through and the brevity might be explained by it cutting from song to song with no applause or talking from the stage (and Carlotta will talk). Result, a really complete and quality version of the current Hinds show, from hi how are you to gabba gabba hey and therefore utter magic. If you have an hour to spare. I am looking at Austin in the spring but surely they will post a show in the north east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
