Haha...yeah...

Funny thing is as a patron one never knows what goes on...backstage and with the venue...

Superorganism was top notch last night at RNR
Sold out, very enthusiastic crowd
Sound was one of the best at RNR, but maybe because it wasn't so Guitar heavy?
very nice to not have to worry about earplugs too

I hate to focus on a persons height...but the lead singer was shorter than the drummer/keyboardist who were both sitting
The interviews I've seen she is a dead fish, but she was great at getting the audience engaged and was hamming it up
got a little dangerous when she started pelting the crowd with chocolates, but they literately ate it up

Usually these hype bands are god-awful on their first tour so I'm glad this wasn't the case. I don't get their hype but their brand of pop isn't my speed.

yeah...was kinda of expecting the worst in terms of performance/sound
but they had it dialed in and I thought it was great

don't get me wrong...they aren't that talented and they are 'flash in the pan' kinda band
but they were all at the merch table after the show...and it looked like every single person who attended bought merch

So refreshing to hear Superchunk address our disturbing political climate issues while pogo-ing their asses off.  Long live the power of punk rock music!

YLT was frickin great last night...they played a very hutch friendly list...show was divided in two halves...first set mellower more acoustic...second set kept building up unti a demonic I heard you looking...finished with encore including a very nice I found a reason

It was pretty good! They pulled mostly from Painful and Fade last night. Sudden Organ is always welcome to hear. No real jammy songs like Pass the Hatchet.

So happy to hear Superchunk was awesome. I was out of town and couldn't make it. Had drinks with Jason in Chicago a couple nights before that show and he had great stories. Love that band. Those guys are wonderful.

I enjoyed the Lorde show much more than I thought.  Perhaps because it was an Arena show performed in a smaller venue, but I went in to see Run the Jewels and enjoyed seeing both.  She's crazy talented for 21...

I could have done without all the millennials crying, but you know, Liability does that to some people I suppose.
