Blah! I wanted to go, but I'm way too exhausted to do all that driving by myself, and I couldn't find anyone who wanted to carpool/ride along. :-\ _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

Was nice to catch them, but I'd be lying if I said I hadn't seen more inspired Eisley shows before. They seem a bit burnt. Understandable, under the circumstances, of course. Still, Memories and ICBTFY came off very, very nicely and fleetingly managed to recapture a bit of their usual power, intensity and atmosphere, as did Kind, which was absolutely exquisite. They have that one truly nailed. Really flawless. Didn't help that the sound was weak and flaccid at the venue; Don't think it was the sound guy's fault- the mix was spot on. Just seemed like an embarrassingly wimpy PA. Definitely the quietest Eisley show I've seen... towards the back of the room it was almost background music- conversations going on over the top of it. Still not a bad way to spend and hour or two.... Not a bad show really- pleasant, comfortable vibe, at least. But if you missed it, you definitely didn't miss one of their more epic performances, imo. Technically well executed, but somewhat mechanical set, quickly traversed in a workmanlike fashion... no surprises... no encores... nothing unpredictable. I'm speculating, but if anything they seemed simply glad to have the tour done with. And maybe part of it is playing these corporate venues that are way too anal about set times for headliners- sometimes keeps bands minds on the clock- makes headliners come off a bit like openers... leaves you subconsciously waiting for the main event... then its kind of like- "oh yeah... that was the main event"... and next you're hustling out the door. Gives the whole thing a heavily Taylorist feel that makes for efficient factories but fits poorly with art. There seemed to be some kind of medical emergency going on at the back towards the end...looked a bit worrying. hope everyone ended up OK. All in all, still glad they came and not sorry I went. Good to see them active again. |

It was so so fun. 
We should have name tags with our screen names on them. _________________ http://zenblade9.deviantart.com/ |

Hopefully, those people were all fired, and we can all have a great time there. 
It was a couple of years ago, but I felt just fine with parking my car in the immediate area for a handful of shows. they were bossy but they weren't rude and they didn't act like jerks. _________________ http://zenblade9.deviantart.com/ |
