Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson Full Solo Review @ The Turf 11/13/09

Mr. Miles does it all. Even in the worst situation when his van breaks down and the rest of his band heads back to brooklyn with all the gear, Miles manages to continue the tour. Performing solo for the last two weeks on his tour, he is impressing a lot of fans playing by himself.

He even came over to house to celebrate with me and some other die hard fans. 

Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson - The 100th of March (Minneapolis) from Brody McCoy on Vimeo.

Chatting with him after with threw his gear in my trunk, he talked about playing guitar since he was about 13.  Now 27, Miles born in Pasadena spent a lot of time in L.A. early on his life.  I didn't ask him about any of his past experiences or musical changes. From what I've read he had some early drug addictions and some friends from TV on the Radio picked him up and got him back on his feet. 

Lately MBAR has been on a tear with his sophomore release "Summer of Fear".  He's played plenty of shows with TV on the Radio and Grizzly Bear, but now he's doing it on his own.  Daytrotter sessions, a full headlining national tour, and even an mini solo leg.   

The folk scene is growing and the competition is extremely tough, but Miles may be the new Bob Dylan.  I certainly found out he's a huge Dylan fan. After his show we jammed the night away to Dylan, Tom Petty, Bob Seger, and plenty more. Unfortunately he broke a string when he was starting to play some of his newer tracks. 

 In his actually set he played an Otis Redding cover. Keep and eye on this extremely talented artist.  The sky is the limit for Miles.

A Benefit for Beth! Please Repost.

On November 5, an old Fetus co-worker of mine was riding her bike around Franklin & 3rd and got hit by a car. The guy took off, but I’m told that luckily enough people saw the accident and he is in custody. Unfortunately, Beth was hurt pretty bad – some internal bleeding and more than a couple broken bones. Like most of us, she isn’t going to be able to cover her medical expenses. So we need to rally and help her out. Even if you can just stop by for a drink, or donate something for the raffle, it’d be appreciated. Money, is of course, always welcome.

Please pass along the information below & post it anywhere you can. Hope to see you there!

From Facebook:

Our good friend Beth Engleman was recently in a hit and run accident last Thursday 11/5. She’s been in the hospital making some good recovery from broken ribs, collar bones, clavicles, along with many other painful injuries. She’s going to be pretty immobile for a long time, and it would be awesome if you could help come together and get her some $$$ to get her back on her feet.

We’ll have drinks, food, a raffle, and a silent auction to help get money together. Let me know if there is anything you can do to help out in this regard. Contact me: Lisa Vonderharr – Lisa.vonderharr@gmail.com – 612-916-4420.

FANFARLO IN MINNEAPOLIS 11/11/09 @ T-ROCK

Top 10 show. No question. They didn't play Fire Escape, Talking Backwards, or We Live By the Lake.  They made the Triple Rock sound like the best venue in the cities.  

Loving these tunes
