I agree it was a f*ckin amazing show with no songs you've ever heard! it was like a whole new album, the stage was barely lit at all yet people just stood and stared.no one was dancing at all-it was wierd-I couldn't even tell if the audience enjoyed it until there was mad clapping at the end of the songs......ae "rocked" plain and simple. very minimal show. it was a shame when the house lights came on- while they were still playing..my only complaint is that audiences here suck....no one ever moves it's worse than Toronto. at least bob your heads a little.....great show though. I'm still buzzing from it...... Perfume Tree were pretty good too, I haven't heard them before and can be described as Liz Fraser in an ethereal jump up dNb band..quite good. spaul --Unhinged-- wrote:
