So, I went to a show at the Showbox last week with a friend. We went to see "Oh Montreal" a band that I had heard great things about. The opening act was this guy, Kishi Bashi and I was in awe from the moment he started. So much in fact, that the other bands paled in comparison.You just have to listen to his unique music. He plays the violin, beat boxes and sound loops.
It was INCREDIBLE.
Kishi Bashi's first EP, Room For Dream, came out in May 2011 on Aerobic International. Room For Dream features four songs, including a duet with Kevin Barnes and can only be purchased from downloading platforms such as iTunes or Bandcamp. A physical release is due later this year. His live show is a solo performance based on live violin and vocal looping and beat boxing. He has often been compared to Andrew Bird and Owen Pallett.[3] Kishi Bashi's first full-length record, 151a, is due out on Joyful Noise Recordings on April 10th.[4]
