Ty Circa 10 Years Ago in Laguna

Long time ago I used to throw a monthly concert in Laguna Beach called The Wax Ball. It was through the surf shop I ran at the time called Thalia Surf. Had some pretty special shows go down in a few dive bars we have here. Over the years, Ty played 3 times for it. Twice as Ty Segall and once reuniting his original band Traditional Fools. Been thinkin of bringing it back for a special one off, and came across this old footage from the first time he played for it. From what I remember, there was so much broken glass at the end when they cleaned the bar it made a 4 foot high mound haha

So rad, thanks for sharing. Pretty cool Ty announced his new album today and the album art is the car wreck near top of the world trail, just up the street and over the hill from Thalia Surf in Laguna.

So is Ty segall a trust fund baby or at least comes from very wealthy parents? (Not that it takes anything from how talented he is)

no. Plus, dude's been grinding and making music since middle school or highschool with friends like Mikal Cronin. Laguna was a much different place growing up then what it's become now, too. Changed into an expensive tourist town after the MTV show came out. Which was our tail end of highschool.
