Damn, I would love to be able to go to this show since I've been really into their new CD for a couple weeks now. I think it's much better then the new Maximo Park. But I already have tickets in hand to see Doves and Kasabian, both around the same time. (Wouldn't mind seeing LCD and Mia too.) Bloc Party this weekend was good. The crowd at the Opera House was not into it as I thought they would be. That and because there was a really annoying guy in front of me are two reasons why it was not excellent. The idiot was doing a dance that could only be described as interpretive. (I interpreted it as "I am a loser!") He was only doing it to impress a girl, who was lapping it up. The music played was excellent (sweet versions of Banquet and Positive Tension). The drummer has to be one of the best I've seen. The band didn't interact with the audience that much, since for one thing, the mics were muffling their voice and they probably were mumbling too. It was the first time being at the Opera House and I really didn't like that the stage is so low, I could not even see the instruments. Short set - pre encore was about 35 mintues) But it was great to hear the CD live. |
