Ty Segall

Baby-faced and topped by a mop of unruly hair, the prolific Ty Segall looks like nothing so much as the neighborhood kid who makes a living mowing lawns in the summer. Beneath the beach bum looks though lies the soul of one of the greatest hard-rocking garage punks currently on the scene.

Segall has released nearly a half dozen records in the last few years either solo, or as founder of Thee Oh Sees or an adjunct partner in crime to the bands White Fences and Sic Alps. You'd think he'd lack the time to tour, but darned if he isn't out on the road a great deal as well.

Fronting his four-piece band, a Ty Segall show is replete with his riff-heavy rock songs that draw on garage nuggets from all eras of rock. What's perhaps really surprising about seeing Segall live is how strong his voice is, especially on recent tours. If you see him in a decent-sized venue, his vocals will be turned up above the maelstrom of cranking guitars and it's remarkable to hear how good a vocalist he's become.

Segall concerts are a great deal of fun and exciting. If you're down close to the stage, expect to be part of a mosh pit of sorts for at least a bit, as Ty's music and his audience tend to induce that sort of thing. In some places, that old 1990s standby—the stage dive—makes an encore at Segall shows, so while you're swaying with the crowd and rocking out, be sure to get your hands up!

I did not go into the Ty Segall concert expecting much, I'll be honest. I really bought the ticket because it was cheap, and the uproar Segall had been making in the south was enough to make me curious.
I had no been to such a rough, electrified show in nearly five years, and it really made me miss my teenage years of getting into mosh pits and making sure I was not going to be hit. It was fantastic!
Ty Segall is devoted to his mission of landing on this planet earth to bring mindblowing riffs and psychedelic rock to the masses in a way no mere human could. The crowd wastes no time to respond with pure energy. With the small stage that lives at One Eyed Jacks, I was absolutely surprised that the crowd did not just storm the stage and devour him. Everyone maintained enough control to at least hang back and let the music take hold.
No one could help the pushing, shoving, laughing, headbanging, and unending sweat. No one could stop the magic of Ty Segall and his intergalactic music. I do not even think Ty himself could stop even if he wanted to. His body language performance shows his true heart and soul is into what he does, and I think anyone that can appreciate that would be a fool not to buy a ticket to see such a show.

Began gig with mugger mask on, looking sinister with veiny Mr. Magoo head. Postures were also stylized fascist self anointing, with a fair amount of forced drool. The band was tight, and the 40' x 60' community center felt vibrant. Even though I was only 20 feet away from the stage, it was hard to gauge Ty's interaction with the crowd up front. He was having there hair and interacting. There was a lot of slamming and jostling among the youngsters, and for the most part Ty appeared energized by it, and one time referring to himself as "I'm my own grandpa" which I interpreted as he was to old to participate in the crush at the stage, and yet was compelled to. The gig must have been a friendship deal, given the size of the venue, and Ty dedicated an inspired cover of The Beatles "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" to Sean, who presumably put this tiny gig together. The set was largely a run through of the new album, and then mini tour de force of high energy favorites from his catalog. The vibe was good. Still puzzling over the meaning and significance of the drooling, which he did 4 times.

I suppose when you have a name as instantly cool as Ty Segall you are pretty much destined to become a famous musician. Despite Ty's laid back demeanour, he is a very talented musician having mastered both guitar and drums yet tonight he stays exclusively with his trusty strings.

The singer/songwriter has been consistently putting out records and touring tirelessly to gain exposure and he saw some form of payoff with 2014 LP 'Manipulator' which elevated him faster to larger stages and bigger crowds. He still keeps the operation minimal and intimate with his trusted accompanying musicians and simple beats captivating the whole room easily.

Playing what appears to be an almost acoustic set, he recreates the 'Manipulator' in its entirety to a near perfect level before showcasing older tracks that may be unknown to the newer fans. Remaining modest throughout and keeping stage chatter to a minimum, he cannot ignore the roaring cheer for final number 'Wave Goodbye' as he looks out over the room with a broad smile only attained by somebody who has really worked to be there.

Opening act the bed band was worthless.taped music, just a goof with a towel covering his head moaning and whining with no value to his voice .should not have been on any stage.
Play Little Bit reggae band she's great from t.o. instead help people who have quality.Ty opened with alta and ended up being thrashing screeching grungy crap. His guitar hit screeching notes that hurt my ears.His voice matched his guitar playing ...screeching with the occasional slower parts that sounded good. Singer/guitar writer can be good but tonight he did not do well at either...I went to plenty of punk shows that did not hurt my ears as much as last night.
I just saw black angels and that show was so much better.
If your into mosh pit action where no one pays attention to the music you might have liked the show.
I really liked the other guitarist so much better than Ty.
He help cover the screeching playing by Ty.

why are music reviews, like yelp reviews? A big long preamble with a bunch of stuff you don't care about; before the show we had pancakes, and the waitress was so nice, but the bathroom was gross, so pregaming was restricted....the bus ride to the venue was uneventful but colorful...getting through lineup was fast...omfg...finally...a poorly written preamble about the band and finally...they sucked or they rocked and importantly, why. So that we know if your review applies to us or not.

Ty Segall was one of the best shows I've ever seen. High energy. He is an amazing front man. He was diving into the crowd and really getting the fans hyped up. I even touched his hand. I may never wash thing hand again. His back up band of Mikal Cronin and Kyle Thomas were crushing it. I would definitely go see him again, probably every time he tours here again for the rest of time. Sign me up! I'd pay to see him again tonight.

The mosh pit was pretty gnarly, almost broke my nose in it, but it wasn't super big because the majority of the audience were a bunch of indie kids who didn't wanna mosh. Overall good show tho, Ty Segall And the Freedom band really know how to fucking put on a show those guys really killed it. The openers Axis Sova were pretty good too they really played their asses off up there.

Ty Segall is so entertaining as a performer/front man, that it almost dwarfs the fantastic play of his band the muggers.... Almost!The show had some much energy that it made the crowd come alive and pulse as one cohesive unit. A unit lead by its conductor, infallible yet humble Ty Segall! Loved it

Sick performance. Sick performance. Sick performance. Sick performance. Sick performance. Sick performance. Sick performance. Sick performance. Sick performance. Sick performance. Sick performance. Sick performance. Sick performance.

Nothing else to add. 10/10.
