Father John Misty

In August 2012, Father John Misty performed 'Fun Times In Babylon' live at La Flèche d'Or in Paris. This recording comes shortly after the release of his debut album, 'Fear Fun,' which dropped in May of the same year. The album marked a significant turning point for Joshua Tillman, who transitioned from being the drummer for Fleet Foxes to a burgeoning solo artist. With its blend of folk-rock, witty lyricism, and a touch of existential pondering, 'Fear Fun' showcased his distinctive style and artistic depth. Interestingly, the performance encapsulates a rawness and authenticity, reflecting his unique storytelling and connection with the audience. It’s fascinating to think about how this live recording helped solidify Misty’s reputation as a compelling live act, setting the stage for his future growth in the music industry.
