Ty Segall has announced a run of residencies in Los Angeles, Brooklyn, New York, Paris, London and other European locations. Segall and the Freedom Band (Mikal Cronin, Shannon Lay, Charles Moothart, Emmett Kelly, and Ben Boye) will perform select albums from Segall’s catalog in full each night. For example, the first three nights in L.A., they’ll play 2010’s Melted. Each show will also feature a new set that’s yet to be announced.
Segall is set to dazzle Angelenos at the Teragram Ballroom in Los Angeles every Friday from July 26 – September 27. The first 500 people to purchase 3 or more tickets to different LA shows will receive a limited 7” of new, unreleased music. He will then perform five consecutive nights at New York’s Warsaw October 1 – October 5. The first 500 people who buy 3 or more tickets to different NYC shows will get an exclusive, limited poster created and signed by Segall in New York.
Segall’s lyrics, “I look into the mirror almost every day. Who is this man looking my way?” in the song, “You’re Not Me,” from Ty Segall’s 2008 self-titled debut. According to Pitchfork’s “The Guide to the Many Moods of Ty Segall” piece, the prolific Laguna Beach native has never stopped asking himself that question. Probably because the answer’s always been different.
Segall has released 13 full-length albums, and nearly all their covers show his face in some state of mutation. The front of his 2015 EP, Mr. Face, features Segall looking into an actual mirror, his hands descending from his brow to reveal stark white pupils. If the eyes are the window to the soul, then Segall’s is a blank slate, capable of assuming wildly different personae on an album-to-album basis.
Tickets are on sale. All tour dates, including specifics on which album Segall will be playing on each date, are below.
