    Hung out with Mark in LA quite a few moons ago for a couple of weeks. He's honestly one of the raddest humans I've met in life. I will forever cherish that strange time where the stars aligned and a dream of mine was fulfilled. Ty Mark!

    • @LARSENALmtl
      @LARSENALmtl 5 дней назад +3

      I had the pleasure of meeting him (also quite a few moons ago) after a show in Montréal. Me and a couple of buddies waited to meet him after the show and chatted with him for a couple of minutes. We told him we were going for a few drinks at Foufounes Électriques, a legendary punk/alternative/metal bar located a few feet away from the venue where they were playing, and told him it would be cool if he'd join us. He told us to go ahead and he would meet up with us a bit later. About 30 minutes later, lo and behold: Mark walked in with his g/f and one of their techs. We stood up, he saw us and they all came and sat down with us at our table. We spent a couple of hours shooting the shit. It was fucking amazing. Like you, I feel extremely priviledged to have met him and got time to spend a little quality time with him.

    I was so blessed to see Birdy and Co. a few years ago when they came to play in Lancaster,, PA. It was just stellar! Afterwards, getting to personally share what The Chameleons music has meant to me when I was a lad in the mid 80s was a real treat. Mark was so excited about that new red Gibson bass he is playing in this video. All I can think as I view them in this performance is "take that AI!" Real, authentic music made by some very talented humans!

    If a fortune teller had told me this some time ago, I would have shattered his crystal ball because I was laughing and feeling like I was being taken for a ride.
    I'm really looking forward to the new album!

The camera team and the sound teams: KUDOS! And I have always loved your studio setups. So intimate. And KEXP management: THANK YOU!!!! This was my favorite band in the late 80’s.
