Hinds (Best active band in the world)

Just looking at the video and the two shows I've been to, I think they could continue to sellout 250-500 capacity venues as long as their stamina will allow.

IMHO, with some more songs and a longer set and some work on hair, makeup, wardrobe and publicity, they should be readily capable of filling 3-5 thousand capacity venues and selling lots more downloads.

Interesting. They have started working on new songs, but also talking about retiring some of the older songs, which doesn't make for a longer set. Would a set of 90 minutes to two hours inevitably be less energetic?

Hair, make-up, wardrobe: There's no consistency. Ana can look like she's just stepped away from a modelling shoot; Carlotta in baggy t-shirt with her space buns coming unravelled.

Of course, purely selfishly, I like them playing small venues where I can get to the front and track them down afterwards.

Yes. It's a pattern familiar from my youth as successful bands migrated from the club circuit to boring and more expensive seated venues.

Ana and Maria have arrived in Japan. I assume along with CC.

I continue to build their audience. One of my friends is a Phish fan. We were talking about the New Yorker profile and I happened to mention Hinds and shared the Denton video. She then found them on Spotify. "They're great," she said, correctly.

Hinds took off their sweaters* at the outdoor Austin gig after the first three numbers. Brrrr.
 

*Sorry, Ana took off her fitted white jacket with the white fur collar. Cisi and Paola took off their sweaters.
