Teppei Teranishi / Thrice. Best Buy Theater. 2012.
I knew him first as Teppei-san the leathercrafter, but most know him as electric guitarist extraordinaire of the critically acclaimed band Thrice. Last night, Teppei and Sangsouvanh invited me to the NYC leg of Thrice’s farewell tour and I had the pleasure of enjoying the concert backstage. Teppei killed it onstage and Ping handled his business as Thrice’s guitar tech, moving back and forth with purpose and extinguishing any problem that arose throughout the show. It was the first time I saw both of them in action.
There is something very enjoyable about watching friends of yours doing what they were created to do.
