After a blistering set from Forget Cassettes, we shifted gears on the WOXY.com stage for a solo, acoustic performance from Ian Ball. We had already seen some good crowds turn out in the first part of the day, but Gomez fans started to really pack out the room in anticipation of his set.

Ian is going to make his solo debut on October 30th with an album called Who Goes There. His performance at Monolith included some of these new tunes, a couple of Gomez classics for good measure, and even a stripped-down cover of the 80’s pop hit “Maneater” from Hall & Oates.

Armed only with a guitar and his sharp wit, Ian captivated the crowd and told some hysterical stories. You’ll hear about how he was asked to write a 15-second theme tune for the recent “Grey’s Anatomy” spin off (and how the show turned him down). He also explains that one of his new solo tunes, “Failure”, is about premature ejaculation. There are a lot of laughs and great music from Ian’s performance available for download below!
