    I kind of liked the "wall of sound" aspect of this show- for me it made the experience more visceral. I wish they'd played 'beauty2'

    The light show was cool, but a bit much after a while. It would have been nice to see the band once in a while.

    My iphone takes shite pictures in the dark, so I went abstract:

    To vent my frustration over tonight's show immediately following is quite necessary so as to simply forget as soon as Ryanly possible what a poor poor performance I witnessed tonight from one of my favouritest bands in the world. If I wanted to be drowned in a wave of sound with menacing drums pounding loudly over mumbled oohs and incomprehensible lyrics, I would have gone to see Sonic Youth, or whomever is playing at the local shoegaze club. Every new song from the wonderful new CD "Velocifero" sounded rather shite, especially "Runaway" (my favourite) and "Ghosts" Maybe they were trying to mimic the success of the guitars from "Witching Hour"? It didn't work. The new songs are (like most Ladytron songs) heavily synthed pop songs, not rock songs. Tonight's show was heavily guitar and drum driven, for every song! HORRIBLE! Mira's vocals were undetectable the entire night. …

    What an amazing night.

    For those of you not there, you should hate yourselves.

    Modwheelmood was okay, the lead singer's voice was a little high pitched for my taste.

    Datarock was good but they had a ton of energy and had a lot of fun which made them even better. Any band that plays clips of Tron on a projector behind them during a song is a good band in my book. I wish I bought a pair of their party shades, those things were pretty steazy and you can't get them on their website.

    Ladytron's my favorite band of all time so it comes as no surprise to hear they were unbelievably awesome. They rocked the house and their finish on Last One Standing and their encore with Destroy Everything You Touch were soooooooo good. I wish they played my new fave Tommorrow and Beauty #2 but they played all my other faves and went way beyond my expectations of awesomness.

    Overall 10 out 10 show.
