“Bizarre, crazy, amazing, I need to go get some ear plugs,” were just a few comments I heard during Ty Segall and The Muggers set Tuesday night at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco. You could feel the bands excitement of playing at The Fillmore and sharing the same stage as so many legendary acts.

Ty creepily strolled onto stage as his new alter ego, “Sloppo”, in a baby face mask. As his first song begun, the crowd erupted with hair and limbs everywhere and an occasional smoke cloud drifting through the air. Ty was drooling and spitting from the beginning, which he continued to do so here n’ there through out the epic 90 minute set to a nearly sold out show. At one point, he grabbed a fans hand and then proceeded to spit on his hand and rub hands with him, which is a first i’ve seen. Not once did he pick up a guitar, just leading the band with amazing stage prensense and antics! With his new album, “Emotional Mugger” appearing on Drag City Records due out January 22nd, it was amazing seeing him perform his new songs along with some older ones sprinkled in as well.

The rest of the gang absolutely killed it, from their music talent to their attire. King Tuff was rocking an all orange jumper with matching finger nails and shades. Wand’s Cory Hanson was rocking an epic trench coat and killer shades, he was really impressive on the keys/synth and occasionally adding a third guitar. They all blended so well together, it was a real treat to see so many talented musicians sharing the same stage. All and all, the night was one for the books and i’m sure many people would agree with that! Also big thanks to CCR Headcleaner for blowing our minds beforehand!
