Hinds (Best active band in the world)

[Wilfrid]

Travel costs not down that I can see. Inexpensive hotel five minutes walk from the venue. Excited now.

If they announce New York dates next week...

In their last concert in Paris they brought a fan from the audience on stage during "Davey Crockett."  Here's your chance!

[Wilfrid]

To play guitar? They always do that.

ETA: And women only. I used to be surprised that there was always someone in the audience that can play that song until I realized it's the same chords as "Louie Louie" and hell I can play "Louie Louie." 😄

I went to the Echoplex in Echo Park last night to see Hinds.  It was not a total sellout but a big crowd.  The usual setlist for 80 minutes. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/hinds/2025/echoplex-los-angeles-ca-535af3f9.html

One advantage of this venue is that the stage is much bigger than say The Paramount in Boyle Heights where I last saw the band.  This gave Ana in particular the opportunity to bounce all around.  She began one number with Carlotta mounted on her shoulders.  At the finale a woman from the crowd was invited on stage to play some guitar along with Livvy from openers Mamalarky. Then some guy came up and grabbed a mic for a minute.  Meanwhile Ana and Carlotta  descended into the crowd where they sang and danced.

During "Coffee" some fans tossed a half dozen red roses one by one onstage.  Carlotta said it was sweet and had never happened before [memo to Wilf].  Further rose play occurred near the end of the show.

Carlotta pushed their merch which now includes a rather bland brown snap back.

Jealous!

Ana lifting Cisi on her shoulders was put on hold during the broken foot months, but she's lifting weights in the gym now that are much heavier than Cisi.

Their merch has always been crap or I would doubtless own a lot of it.

 Hotel Vegas in Austin two weeks from tonight.

Superstar has been pushed later in the set list. Makes sense, always gets the longest ovation.

[Wilfrid]

And the beat goes on.

Peyote.

This is so beyond even I just don't know... Yesterday I posted in the What Are You Watching? thread that a marvellous Mumbai movie was using Emahoy in the soundtrack. I have posted about Emahoy here more than once.

And guess who is using the unbelievable Emahoy as an IG soundtrack?

Thanks @hollywood for the Echoplex clips. That is a storming verdion of "Castigadas."

Perhaps there is room for some New York dates after the Japan leg of the current tour.

Or they could hit the studio and record some more tracks.

[hollywood]

More "Castigadas."  Note roses.  

 

[Wilfrid]

I wonder if she's ever dropped Carlotta.

[Wilfrid]

Watched that a few times and then reached back to the original when they were still called Deers, and they are so young!

 

[Wilfrid]

One week today I will have seen the best live band in the world five times (and also have eaten elk at Lonesome Dove). On Sunday night I will be wandering around in a warm glow looking for bars with good music.

If you are still in Austin on Tuesday you can see Carolyn Wonderland at the Continental Club. 

[Wilfrid]

Sadly leaving Monday but thank you.

[Wilfrid]

Recent. Pity Ana is out of shot at first.

 

[Wilfrid]

I am in Austin. I may be near them. ❤️❤️❤️

[hollywood]

Did you bring roses (or cacti)?

[Wilfrid]

Judging by the pictures from Denton last night, they are bringing fluffy red cowboy hats.

 

[Wilfrid]

Are you having any fun? Yes.

 

[Wilfrid]

Oh, there's an after-party. Glad I am not headed to the airport tomorrow...

 

[Wilfrid]

Nearly...

This is an outdoor venue. Brrr.
