Just got back. Show was a blast. Crosses killed it. They didn't do 1994 and Death Bell, which was a little disappointing, but that's okay. Setlist was every song from the album except those two, plus the Goodbye Horses cover and The Years. 1987, thholyghst, Frontiers, Blk Stallion and Goodbye Horses were highlights for me. Particularly 1987, which got really heavy and distorted at the end. The sounds they were making sounded like traveling through a black hole.
A solo artist named Richie Quake and Daryl Palumbo's band Color Film opened. Richie Quake was interesting. Picture James Taylor singing over Adult Swim bumper beats. All of his songs had a bit of a sameness to them, but it was a good song. Real mellow stuff to zone out to. Color Film was good, except for Daryl, sad to say. I'm a fan of Glassjaw as much as everyone else, but I dunno, that high-pitched voice of his can get grating live. The band is really talented (kind of like a modern, fast-paced version of The Police) and Daryl seemed to be having a good time, at least. He seems like a funny dude and kept making really weird faces during their set.
Funny little story, if anyone cares: about four or five songs into the Crosses set, some chick standing next to me kept loudly talking about how she wanted to fuck Chino. She then turned TO ME and started ranting TO ME (why, I don't know) about how probably everyone in the place wanted to fuck Chino. She said it was also okay if I wanted to fuck Chino. I was very tempted to tell her that I'd much rather fuck her, but kept my thoughts to myself and just laughed at her. When I started laughing, she responded that it wasn't funny.
All in all, a good night. Glad I saw them.
