final fantasy 11/02/07

Here's the companion set to the Cadence Weapon show I posted a few days ago.

Now, Final Fantasy and Cadence actually had some significant competition the night they played in Dallas. Spoon was playing a sold out show at House of Blues, and Girl Talk & Bus Driver were playing down at the Loft (or was that the Palladium...). Either way, there were several excellent shows in Dallas, and Final Fantasy at Haileys in Denton. Which let me point out is 45+ minutes away...

Now - I had a chance to see Final Fantasy a few years ago in Houston (you can read about and listen to that show here) and seriously, seriously impressed me. I had seen performances using loop pedals before - but no one could touch the pieces that Owen Pallett, aka Final Fantasy, could create using his violin. Playing one part, looping it, then playing another, and another - soon Pallett has 4, 6, 8 unique parts playing - creating symphonic backgrounds which he then sings over. Awesome.

He was just as good, if not better at this show. I would definitely say its a better recording. He played tracks from his new sold-out 7inch, as well as old favorites, numerous covers and some brand new tracks which will be featured on upcoming releases.

Elsewhere - Gorilla vs Bear is hosting some Final Fantasy and Cadence Weapon videos from the show in Abilene, TX, which was a day or two before the Denton show.

Enjoy - and for our friends in the US, Happy Thanksgiving. After the Holidays you can look forward to Dan Wilson and Sondre Lerche sets.
