I've only seen him once and they had to stop half way through because the piano player was getting electrocuted or something.

I've seen him 3 times already but the second time, he had to stop playing after 4 songs (Stage 13) because it started raining really bad and everyone was running for cover. :lol:

Anyway, he's an awesome live performer. Just saw him in November with Matt Mays. Great show!

No no no, he may have had a shock, but it was because the amount of water on stage and the continuous rain were becoming safety hazards.

And he played more than half his set! we only missed 3 songs :p

Thanks

I emailed his website when the venue had another band listed as playing that night in Feb. and a nice man emailed me back to tell me it had changed.

There are still no tickets on sale though

It seemed like we missed more, lol.

I was watching the video for Brother Down ( I hadnt seen it in a while) the other day, and seriously, if I hadn't known it was him, I wouldnt of recognized him. He's the only famous person I know that could get away with that nest :lol:

Random Sam Roberts info

He is releasing "We were all born in a flame" in the UK and the States and then going on a small club tour over the summer in the UK with the occasional american show. He's trying to break their markets.
