If you hear of a Final Fantasy show and you want to see him, buy tickets AS SOON AS YOU CAN. The boy's shows have a tendency to sell out quickly.
I've seen him once before in a really small venue and he's amazing. He has a really adorable, self-deprecating stage presence, and he's more impressive live than he is on record....mostly because he can replicate and go beyond the recordings with just himself and the oft-mentioned looping pedal. Also, there's a potential for new material! Also, he'll definitely have the visuals for a deal like Pop Montreal so that's a treat too!
Obijou are a lot of fun live. There are at least 6 of them and they're all bouncy and endearing while producing poppy tunes. Definitely something to look forward to. Don't know much about Basia Bulat.
....and I was going to be at that Pop Montreal show........but due to unfortunate circumstances I'm going to have to wait until November (and my birthday!) to see Final Fantasy again myself.
