Father John Misty's Lollapalooza Banter: 14 Amazing Quotes
Josh Tillman, aka Father John Misty, has incredible songs bolstered by an impeccably acerbic wit. He's created a noteworthy reputation when it comes to his stage banter, so when he opened his Lollapalooza set with three songs without saying a word to the audience, everyone seemed kind of confused.
The tension was palpable. What gives? Finally, after an opening salvo of "I Love You, Honeybear," "Strange Encounter," and "True Affection"—which all sounded fantastic—Tillman finally spoke.
"Sorry, my voice is gone. It's depressing. How's that for onstage banter?"
Well, that explained it. Dude seemed to be having trouble with his voice, a common affliction amongst vocalists amidst heavy festival cycles. It seemed like there were parts of songs he just wasn't singing, and his set was rife with apologies to the crowd.
