First of all I must explain that despite the name the Vogue Theatre I hadn’t expected the show to be an all-seater but the seating to be removed or something but it seemed my preconceptions were wrong. So that’s just getting that out of the way and I’ll skip the description of the moronic, obnoxious Canadian blokes sitting around me talking about how hardcore Yellowcard shows are and trashing the place.
3: Ok, my first impression on seeing them was a hybrid between Nickelback and Iron Maiden, but upon hearing them they’re actually kinda like a hybrid of Creed and Iron Maiden. I assumed from the lyrics I had heard they were God-rock like underOATH but I’m not sure, just impression I got. They also had a guy on percussion/synthesizer but sadly he wasn’t naked except for a gold cape and a lot of blue body paint like I would have liked, mmmmmm. The drummer was also a cross between Bruce Dickinson and the brown-haired bloke from Abba, sadly looking for him afterwards I didn’t see him and as unable to scream “You’re evil!” at him. Anyway they were kind of like a power-rock ballad-esque band and they had the obligatory 3 minute drum solos by their 2 percussion men and multiple guitar solos, though the best was one lasting about 3 minutes on an acoustic where you could see the strings gradually snapped one-by-one until there were only 3 left on which point he slammed it down onto the stage and picked up his leccy guitar and continued in his fit. Good stuff to open, got quite into it. 3/5
underOATH: Ok, I had seen that video from Reinventing Your Exit and what I got from this band was that generally a screamy-hardcore band with a few melodic singing bits courtesy of the drummer. This type of music can be very enjoyable, but if you’re allowed to run around being as crazy as the band, you cannot do this between row and row of seats. Still after the first couple of songs being kinda deadpan and a wee bit too much incoherent yelling, and I swear the 2nd song was like 8 minutes long or just 2 v similar songs with a tiny break, but then they played Reinventing Your Exit and cramped like chickens in battery cages as we were there was cramped dancing/moving and much enjoyment. Also before the last song I was also informed that God loves me and I’m a special person, yay! I felt all fuzzy inside. 3/5
Coheed And Cambria: The band I decided to gamble on instead of Ted/Leo without hearing a single one of their songs but just generally vague good things about them, oh I am indeed a gambling man. Upon taking the stage I was first impressed by the largeness of the lead singer’s hair, the volume and style was just tremendous. He wouldn’t have looked that out of place standing alongside Def Leppard, which is of course a good thing. Anyway I can’t really talk too much about the band being completely unfamiliar with them but if I knew the words to their songs and there were no chairs this would have been awesome set, I enjoyed it tremendously anyhow, and any CAC would have most enjoyed. Thumbs up. 4/5
