Vendetta Red Final Show Notes:
- The opening band's name I have already forgotten and their music is the same way. Imagine Weezer circa Maladroit except blander.
- Kane Hodder. Wow. I couldn't follow their music at all because I was so distracted by how awesomely hammy they all were. The lead singer, especially, did some great spazzing out (though Zach Davidson managed to outdo him at the start of Vendetta Red's set by hanging upside down on the lighting. You cannot make that shit up).
- The Divorce would have been great if I weren't so distracted by the unbearable humidity in El Corazon. I was entirely convinced that "Redcoats" was a cover of some sort as opposed to a song that they actually wrote themselves since it sounds exactly like the kind of catchy pop nonsense that showed up in the 90's now and then.
- Vendetta Red. Absolutely amazing, completely exceeding all of my expectations. The first hour was utterly perfect high-energy singalong rock and roll (even though unlike Mia, who knew each and every song they played for the most part, I didn't know the lyrics to most of the songs), and whilst the last half an hour started off with some really lame "damn our parents" crap, they made up for it.
See, I went into the show just wanting to hear either "The Long Goodbye," "All Cried Out," or "Ribcage Menagerie." Any one of those. They never, ever played those songs live, it was always same old, same old. Then they did all three. It was great.
So the concert was more than worth going to, heat and lame opener be damned. Plus Mia had a really fun time, so hey.
