So last night I went to see Van Hunt live (for the second time) at the Black Cat in DC. It was a really good show and he was just as charming and silly as he was at the last show.

It was all acoustic, so just Van, his guitar and his keyboard.
Im not good at remembering setlists, but some of the song highlights were :
Popular, Character, Dust, Down Here in Hell, The Lowest 1 of my Desires etc.

He had to keep telling the losers at the bar to shut the hell up, which was odd cause why would you buy a ticket to see the guy and then talk through his set???

But all in all it was a funnn show

Afterwards I got to meet him again!!!!
I was so excited

He was SUPERNICE, and even kinda flirty
I hugged him and he had his arm around me and goes "so whats your name?" I whisper to him "It's Stacey" and he says "you're over 20 right?"
I say "Im 23..." and he's like "perrrfect then..." all along sounding so sexy

I told him "I hope you feel better soon" (he had a cold, but still sounded great)
and he said "I feel better all ready" and smiled

we also had some random dialouge but I was so giddy I don't even remember what was going on

Gawd! I loooovvvee him



...oh and I don't know what the hell happened to his hair!!!
For the encore he took off his scarf and we all saw his hair for the first time in a while and there was a collective look of shock on everyones faces!

I thought he was still sexy even though his do was jacked up

It was like cut close on top but full at the bottom, like a reverse bowl cut

I'm impressed. I wasn't sure if he could cut it without a backing band.

It takes guts to play a set entirely by yourself.

COME TO THE JAZZ CAFE VAN HUNT!

Awesome! I've still yet to see him. But he's on the list.

@ reverse bowl cut

I thought his hair looked a little strange in the pic.

It was really cool! My friend I went with was disappointed cause she was ready to rock out, but I enjoyed the intimacy of this show

He has to stop Seconds of Pleasure midway through though, cause a-holes at the bar only came to hear Dust and wanted to talk through the show

Stacey...ur hot

I forgot to mention he played Hopeless too
and said "look at ya'll sining a song I wrote 11 years ago....Yeah, yall are that old!"

Thanks you two

YOU are just adorable

That hunt guy is alright too

It is so great to meet your musical heroes. Not sure if he's a hero to you or not but you know what I mean

I'd love to see him live in concert one day. I will see Bilal in some weeks at last after he cancelled two concerts I planned to go, so Van Hunt is one of the few artists I never saw live, but desperately want to see . I hope one day he comes to play near where I live .
Great picture, although his hair really looks strange .

I know what you mean, and he's definitely one of my favorite musicians, so it was really specail to me. I loved how nice and down to earth he was!

I mean, If his assistant hadn't been moving people out, I woulda just stayed the rest of the night (or my life) with him

thekidsgirl said:

He must be tall cuz didn't you say you're tall? See that works right thurr.

SCNDLS said:

I'm 6 feet tall, but I've become accustomed to 'squating' a bit in pictures with out even noticing it so I'm not sure if Im standing straight or not
I've actually noticed quite a few tall females that seem to do similar stuff
ie: leaning, hunching, etc.. its pathetic, I know

...but he was a lot taller (and broader) than we expected him to be

1.) yes u are hot

2.) i'm jealous you've seen him live twice now (if its more than that dont tell me)

3.) thats my role model right about now, and yes he is nice, i wrote him on some musician 2 musician and he wrote me back the very next day

4.)i was gonna say somethin bout his hair but i 4 damn sure cant talk

and 5.)...



damn you












oh yeah...and 6.) as far as that lil convo except... ....yeah buddy, thats why thats my homeboy

thekidsgirl said:

If you came too to see Van with us, I might go into excitement overload

thekidsgirl said:

i might have to do that one day...it aint like i aint got family down there

Van played here in NY on the 29th, but I went to see Goldfrapp instead. I didn't know his show was acoustic this time. That would have been interesting to see. Any other night and I would have gone.

how was goldfrapp

SirPsycho said:

It was a very different kind of Goldfrapp show. Serene and subtle compared to the disco-glam of the Supernature tour. Hypnotic at times too. I liked it.

thekidsgirl said:

I am glad you had a good time. I have yet to hear this brotha. I need to check him out.

A couple of things:

1)I love Van's Music

2)Now I know why the brother wears hats & doo-rags all the time!!!

3)You are quite an attractive lady. *sprays binaca* How YOU doin'?!?!?

sextonseven said:

ok, you're excused for one night for Goldfrapp, but I hope you get to see him acoustic...I know you'd like it
