I haven't heard about Devendra should look into that! I'm good friends with a few of his friends but never had the chance to meet him, have you heard of Vesper & Ben Stamper? I believe they were signed under Daniel's Label, from the Danielson Family Band Sounds Familyre. They're all fellow New Jersians!
Id love to see an asthmatic kitty HQ tour btw- I think a documentary is in order ;)- could you imagine!!
I've never been "star stuck" meeting celebrities or heroes of mine, but I think Sufjan might be the one exception...
Oh, I get star struck like a monkey sometimes! Once I bumped into Brandon Boyd, lead singer of Incubus, and this was way back when he was sporting long dreadlocks. And I was like "Goo-goo, gah-gah... love your music... so awesome!" Devendra Banhart has this one album that's incredible, called Cripple Creek, featuring the song, "Like A Child." Highly recommend that one. And the "hit" song I put on mixes is called "Can't Help Smiling," which is from a more recent album. But my favorite (because it's a ride!) is called "Seahorse." I'm looking up these artists your mentioning here.
Haha aw that's the best though, i'm sure id appreciate it if it were me, to see someone so stoked about my work- I think you'll like those guys- they're all a bit off the beaten path musically, but i have a feeling that doesnt scare you ;)
Honestly, I think you're right. Brandon Boyd seemed genuinely happy to meet me and give me his autograph. Do you recall that Incubus song, "Antigravity"? It's a funky one - think that's the one that had me so excited.
I think I remember that one, Warning was the one where I realized that dude had serious pipes though, probably the same for most folks as that was their radio hit for awhile
