Bastille GMTF Tour with Alice Merton
Arenβt live shows just the absolute best?!?!
Well, I had the chance to catch Bastille and Alice Merton 4x during this tourβ¦
1) Arizona at the Mesa Ampitheatre 17 May
2) Las Vegas at The Theatre at Virgin Hotels 18 May
3) LAβs YouTube Theater 20 May
And lastly the gorgeous
Vina Robles Ampitheatre in Paso Robles on the 21st
Honestly⦠Bastille are one of my all time favorites, so seeing them is always a great time and with them coming to town for the first time after a long minute, I had to see them more than once, right?! The band, the music, the community, there is so much to look forward to when going to their shows!
First, seeing them in Mesa, Arizona Alice Merton who notably sings the brilliant tune βNo Rootsβ opened up. Each show I can say was a slightly different performance, but in the best way as itβs always nice to see artists mix it up a little. Alice and her insanely talented band were amazing night after night! Even without her full band who sadly couldnβt all make it, brought the energy and passion to the stage each performance. You could really tell how much they all enjoyed being up there and itβs always the best seeing the artists on stage loving the moment. This time around her band consisted of Guitarist Regi Drake & Drummer Lucas Heiby as well as herself. The 3 of them each brought their own energy which created such a fun vibe and had me and many others thoroughly enjoying their entire set!
Bastille now, I donβt know how they manage it every time, but every show Iβve been to of theirs not only is their performance one of the best, but their openers are just as brilliant! I love music and shows and I always make it early to see every artist perform, but sometimes the energy is bit off and with all of their openers I canβt remember a time where even one was off. So, just noteβ¦ if youβve never been to a Bastille show, absolutely DO NOT miss the opener, because then youβll be sad and why do you want that?! To be fair you should always make it to any show in time to watch all acts though, because you might miss your new favorite artist.
So, on to Bastilleβs performance or shall I say performancesβ¦ well each time was incredible. The energy, the songs, they just tie it all together so well with a neat little bow. The unique live touches they add to the songs make the shows that much more special! Like, their iconic song βPompeiiβ this time around they added in an extended intro which I absolutely adore. Their shows I can honestly say are an experience! They bring you into their world and leave you wanting more. I could go on and on about how incredibly talented they are and how wonderful their live shows are as well, but I think thatβs something you should allow yourself to experience if you havenβt alreadyπ§‘
This tour I had the chance to meet so many people that I hadnβt had the chance to meet before and many of them came from around the country and beyond. The dedication that this fan base has is amazing and incredibly special and Iβm so happy to be apart and know so many wonderful people because of it. Music makes the world go round and live shows heal the soul! After all of the nonstop craziness of the world, seeing some shows, screaming your lungs out and dancing around like a fool is sometimes the best way to treat yourself. I know I feel loads better after taking a moment to enjoy these shows!
Thank you Bastille and Alice Merton for the shows, the energy and the happiness!

Designing my way through an album: Give Me The Future edition
Bastille released their fourth studio album βGive Me The Futureβ on February 4th and being that they are one of my favorite bands and put out yet another album that I love, I am designing my way through it. Previously when designing my way through an album, Iβve really only shared the designs embroidered and thatβs it. This time though I thought I would put a little more into it and share my work as full digital pieces.
At the moment Iβve nearly gotten half way through and Iβm excited about what I've come up with. Iβm even trying to come up with some pieces inspired by the interludes. Hopefully I can make some more progress on this collection right away, but in the meantime keep an out eye for some patches and other products Iβm working on. Currently Iβve got these designs as coloring pages listed in my shop which you can check out nowβ¦ SpazyArt.net/shop or shop the pages below, just click add to cart. Please note that each design is listed separately and as a pack, to get all of the pages together just purchase the listing titled βGMTF Part 1 Coloring Pagesβ
Thank you for any and all support and I hope you enjoy these designs!
