Sun 27 Sep – Gojira, Burst, Zoroaster

So, I'm probably seeing Burst and Zoroaster again tonight in Austin, but I drove to Houston to catch the show with Gojira.

I got there late, just barely in time for the opening note of (We Watched) The Silver Rain. Burst only got to play about 6 songs, which meant it was a setlist pretty well packed with their best songs. I'm looking forward to seeing them play a longer set, though.

Gojira, the reason I drove 3 hours, started out slow. I've disparaged The Way Of All Flesh before, and that criticism still applies. I love From Mars to Sirius, though, and a couple of songs off the new one. Unfortunately, all those songs were packed at the end of their set. I could've gone for a smoke for the first half of the set if I wouldn't have lost my spot.

The end of the set, though, the songs finally caught up to the energy that they were putting out onstage. These guys definitely put on an arena sized effort the whole time, despite the small size of Warehouse live (relatively). The tied definitely turned for the rest of the crowd as well, by the opening of Vacuity, the crowd was one big shouting, shoving, surfing mass.
