These guys are one of my favorite bands.
The lead, Ruban is incredible. Check out this live in studio session. Necessary Evil is one of my favorites. It's played differently every time.
Anyway, after the show I went over to the merch stand. haha. I was good this time though. Only spent $20 on a poster. But yeah, back to being in line. I'm in line and Ruban walks up and starts chatting with the group ahead of me and signed their things. After he's done he glances over at me and notices my shirt.
Now I debated wearing this. I even texted PantlessGenie about it. She told me to go for it. Haha. Anyway, I was rocking this.
He smiles and is like "Oh crap, Prince. We got to stop by Paisley Park a bit ago. Have you been?"
Y'all I completely forgot they had went.
Anyway, I'm like nah, how was it?
The smile he had on his face y'all...
He tells me, "It was something incredible. So special. You have to go."Y'all already know I wanna go. As soon as I'm able to, I'm gone. Anyway, I get my poster and ask for him to sign it. He does and I thanked him for a great show. It REALLY was GREAT. And he is incredibly humble. Shit, homie even thanked me for coming out and supporting.
I said my goodbyes and wished him a good night. He thanked me again and was like "You really need to make your way to Paisley Park if you can. Seriously, I highly recommend going."
Shiiiit, I will!
Hopefully it's soon. 😭Oh his opener was Shamir. She was dope. And the venue was Vinyl @ The Hard Rock Hotel. They had some Prince memorabilia. I'll take photos next time! Anyway, here's the poster with his killer signature.
And here's bits from the show. Ruban is a kick ass guitarist. I didn't get what he did at the top of the set. He walked off stage and around the crowd—playing his ass off. Then he walked into the crowd singing at another point. I got a bit of it on camera, but I had to put my phone away and enjoy what was actually happening. Haha I hope y'all don't hear me singing, because my ass was jamming.

SN: tell me why someone was on their phone watching their Snapchat story of what they recorded while the show was still going? I thought I was the only one who noticed but then I see a guy next to me peep what they were doing too. The look homeboy had on his face...utter disgust 😂
Holy Fuck...
