## **The Wedding of Mrs. Fox & The Leeshy Cat and The Snake’s Treasure** Strap in for a Jumbo Sized #HotGoblinSummer kick off as Kelsey tells the unhinged Grimm’s fairy tale, The Wedding of Mrs. Fox…
before? It was two nights ago, but it all kind of runs into each other because I was out very late.
Like two hours is just inside where you would actually like make a day of it, you know? So we drove.
spirit box was also fun i feel like their perform like their performance bit of it wasn't as like dialed in and i think they were having some trouble with their audio because i couldn't really hear courtney over the instruments
she's got a beautiful voice for those that don't know she's an amazing singer and screamer
and screamer honestly hearing her scream in person actually was really cool like that really blew me away um it was only when she was singing that i couldn't quite hear yeah i
bet that would be hard too to get right in the microphone because like screaming is like tends to be louder and then singing she has such like in contrast she has like such delicate vocals
yeah exactly um which is one of the reasons i really like spirit box as a band is because of that switch up and she's equally competent at both things like she's but i agree like i think that's partially what it is it's probably hard to get the calibration right for the audio mix
She was so funny where she kind of flipped back and forth between like hardcore metal screaming and then like girly pop dance moves during the singing bits.
And she goes back and forth between the screaming and singing, which is what I love about it.
So, you know, I actually take that like I take that back that their performance bit wasn't as dialed in.
Maybe they need two microphones or maybe it just – because they're also like an opening band, so maybe the production value wasn't like as big.
There was no lag between like Amy singing versus us hearing it like there was with Spirit Box.
So Stephen was like, Stephen had a conspiracy theory that he's like, the opening band never sounds good.
But like, yes, that like I cried my entire way through Evanescence's set just because it was
I was expecting a video from your social media account during Evanescence and there was nothing.
Every time you wear red lipstick, it makes me think of, you look like that girl from The Magicians.
Yeah, because I've seen you with that like the cat eye and the red lip, the red like ruby
You know what? I'm not going to because I want you to freak out the same way I did.
I was going to try not to watch them because I was like, I don't want to know the set list.
But then I wanted to watch the videos and it was going to be like a whole month and a half before I get to see
Cause like, cause like she, she said just kind of like, you know, it's the 20th anniversary of the open door.
And so I thought it'd be fun to play a song that we've never played live before.
I don't know what order they're playing the songs in and I've avoided looking at the set list, but I feel like none of it's really going to be a super surprise unless they like switch it
And then when you see it, you can tell me what they played and what order and we'll compare notes.
But, yeah, that's why I didn't – I was going to take more video, but the thing is I was too transported.
It also helped that the group right behind me was two drunk girls who know every word who were scream singing it.
And my microphone, the one time I tried to do a video – The microphone picked up them singing it off key instead of Amy singing
I've seen some people get really mad about like other people singing during concerts.
If you want to listen to the pure song where the point of going to the concert is we're all having this magical experience together.
I remember at Aftershock, I saw there was a girl in front of me that knew every single word to all the Evanescence songs, and I ended up giving her one of my bracelets that I made because
I don't know if we'd be able to be as close as we are if I didn't also love Evanescence.
And thank you for like telling me like that you were going and like kind of like feeling so hype about it that I was like, damn, have they already left? Did I miss my chance to see them like over here? And I hadn't.
Honestly, if you've seen them live on the internet or just videos, it doesn't do it justice.
And just in general for me, like live music, you feeling the vibrations of the music.
I wore, this was all, sorry, this was one final cool tidbit is I wore my Evanescence concert t-shirt from their 2011 tour.
We went to their concert and it was like the day before that their album dropped, dropped.
Because I remember Amy Lee specifically grabbed your album and was like, I haven't seen it in person yet.
– So she handed her phone to some random person behind us who was the sweetest, but literally zoomed in on just Morgan and Amy Lee's face.
she was so nice and it was really it truly was an honor to be the first ones to show her yeah the finished album i still i need to see if i can find i know i have it around here like i've got all of my memorabilia like around here somewhere i need to find it and maybe we can take a picture or something i know you've got yours still i have all of my stuff on my piano right now
and i felt like such an og like being being there in my in my just kind of like i've been i've been a fan forever
talking about 20 years ago the open door came out i was there yep it was cool anyway anyway so thank you for getting me into Evanescence I don't know if I'd be as into them if you and I hadn't become friends like I bought their album I had bought Fallen before we ever met and listened to it pretty obsessively in my room but like I don't know if I necessarily would have like been as into seeing them live or like have like have followed the band as closely as I have and that would have been to my detriment so thank you for
I know it has glass eater and I listened to so like, there's lots of glass eater.
Some, I feel like some good music, but also some really cringy emo music because I was very influenced by my boyfriend at the time.
some of the songs that are on it, like I still put them on so many playlists to this day.
And also like, I don't know, that mixtape introduced me to Billy Talent and I have never regretted it.
I'll tell you what's on it, because at least half of it wasn't really my speed, but half of it was so my speed that I am still listening to it all these years later.
It's, you don't like, you don't know about all these, all this great music until you hear it from your friends and like.
kick in every single song that they recommended to me from a weekly playlist or whatever was the best.
And I had to fucking cut you off because you're sharing shitty ice ads and your CEOs out of his fucking mind, spending all Spotify money on like military drone shit.
So, I mean, and unfortunately I'd come back in a heartbeat if any of that stopped because I love, I love Spotify.
I really like it, except the algorithm doesn't have it down yet, and it's bumming me the fuck out.
But you know what? It doesn't have some of the features that I loved about Spotify and the algorithm for predicting what I like isn't as good.
I just got an email today saying we've updated our AI policy and I clicked on it with dread in my heart thinking about, oh no, are they pulling an A24 on us? and it's actually really awesome they said like yeah we hear you ai is bad for art it's bad for music generally we're going to get a lot more restrictive with what kind of ai art we allow on our platform like we're gonna we're gonna tag everything ai if we can detect that it was significantly ai generated we're gonna prevent it from being monetized if it was ai generated and And once we get a sophisticated enough program to detect when, even when it was partially AI generated, we'll implement that as well.
Also, I have a whole thing where I've been spending a lot of time with my parents recently, and my mom's always like, there's no good new music.
Send all your good singer-songwriter stuff, and we'll convince Kelsey's mom that people are still out here making good music every day.
