I can't believe these guys thought no one would show up. They've got some great music and last night they proved they could put on a great live show showcasing that music. You have to appreciate a humble band. They play b/c they love it and with passion and so they can afford to eat. Now I'm sure these guys aren't missing meals but they certainly seemed to put some heart in their show. Some of the bigger acts should take their queue from these guys.
The sound quality in the loft is always pretty good b/c the venue is so small. I will say there were some technical difficulties so the occasional feedback flare up happened throughout the show. You can't fault the band for this. And during some of their slower numbers you could hear more of the crowd than you could the band. But all-in-all I had a great time, great view and enjoyed both the opening and headlining bands. Yeah seeing Ida Maria was like the icing on a cupcake. Without the icing it's just a muffin, sure muffins are great, but who can resist a cupcake?
I'd be glad to see both bands again!
