Father John Misty

On October 3, 2012, Father John Misty delivered a captivating performance at the Bootleg Theater in Los Angeles, during the era of his debut album, 'Fear Fun.' This album, released earlier that year, marked a significant turning point in his career as he transitioned from drumming in Fleet Foxes to establishing his own unique artistic identity. 'Fear Fun' showcased his signature blend of folk-rock and cleverly sardonic lyrics, instantly establishing him as a solo artist to watch. This session at Amoeba not only captures the raw energy of his live shows but also reveals the charm and wit that would become his trademarks. It's interesting to note that the album received critical acclaim, and tracks like 'Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings' highlight both his lyrical prowess and his knack for storytelling, which resonated deeply with fans and critics alike.
