Father John Misty

In February 2013, Father John Misty, the alias of Josh Tillman, was riding the wave of his sophomore album, "Fear Fun," which had dropped just the previous year. This album marked a significant turning point in his career, showcasing his distinctive blend of folk-rock and sharp lyrics that hinted at his penchant for irony and introspection. The live recording of his performance at The Hi-Fi Bar in Melbourne captures this pivotal moment, where he was beginning to carve out his unique identity as a solo artist after his time with Fleet Foxes. Interestingly, the show highlights not just his musical talent but also his charismatic stage presence, an essential part of his persona, as he often engages the audience with humor and thought-provoking commentary. It was a time when Father John Misty was truly emerging and beginning to make waves on the indie music scene.
