The Shins, 1998 house party

[@mgil5113]

This was April of 1999. I know because this was (and is) the living room of our house in Albuquerque. This was our housewarming party. The cameraman, BF, was standing on our couch.

Hey how much do you remember about that time, and how did it come to be that the shins played your housewarming party? I'm trying to find and record any and all of The Shins early history, mostly flake stuff but basically anything pre sub pop is of interest to me. Thanks for any info you can provide

[@LeoVKMusic]

How did your new neighbours find it?! 😂🙌🏻

The one person that gave this the thumbs down was the old man living next door trying to sleep.

Ahhhhh...
Now THIS is Refreshing!
Camera is of the time- I have plenty of gigs filmed in a similar fashion...
So I'm a trained professional in viewing things like this-😂
Thank you!
