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.
