The year was 2009. Memory Tapes was new to the scene — a “bedroom producer” who was popping off among the hipster community. Riding an elite 8.3 rating on Pitchfork, he scheduled his first live show.
The shows were in London, but lucky me, I happened to be in traveling through there at that time. So fucking lucky. I bought a ticket for his second show ever.
While there, I made friends a chick. She happened to be a promoter for Memory Tapes. She happened to invite me backstage where I happened to smoke a spliff with Memory Tapes’ crew (but not Memory Tapes himself, he said he didn’t smoke).
I felt like I was living through an important moment in history.
We’re standing in a circle and Memory Tapes explains to me that this is not actually his second show ever. He had toured many times, just under different names. As I ripped the spliff, I said “ok well I still feel special.”
Here’s the proof I was there:
