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.
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

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
