report on the show 9/21/07 @ lipo lounge
so the show the other night went pretty well. we played: get bored, fem politique, why are you so sad?, the melodrama, inspire (slow version), the failed musician, jazz (first section), no emotion, charisma, popstar for sure, persona, bitterlust. i think that's all we played, there might have been another song in there at the end...anyways, persona is a new song, kinda fucked it up, i didn't have all of the words memorized, and they still kinda suck and need some refining. but otherwise, everything was pretty solid. good turn out of friends, who all proceeded to bounce after we played for the most part.
of the other bands we played with: tesseract7 was 2nd. they kinda had sound problems. seemed all image, couldn't hear the vocalist, she looked good like a model, but needs to eat a hamburger. uh, i don't want to be mean, a drummer and less programming would help their cause. they lost me at the NIN cover (wish). filthmilk, i watched 30 seconds of, but then decided to hang out with my friends. they sounded really cool through the floorboards, both me and tommi really wish we had watched them instead of tesseract7. they sounded very noisy and had a drummer. a friend of a friend was even their vocalist at some point in the past. ugly head went last, cuz it was their gig and they were on tour. they sounded pretty fucking massive and tight. our friend nick is the bass player, and he was pretty much responsible for propelling them forward, however credit is due to the drummer who could lay down a heavy thump over click tracked synth crap and such. i felt like the guitars, while adequately heavy and rhythmic, could have been doing more, but based on the vision of the main dude, everyone was somewhat roped in to uh, his vision. anyways, they sounded very professional, kinda like a more industrial korn, but in a good way i suppose. while some of the songs were a bit samey, their were some really heavy repetitive rhythmic tunes in the middle of the set that were very very good. couldn't really hear the vocals enough to decipher words, which was probably a good thing, thought his vocal effects between songs did sound neat. anyways, it was a fun night!
