A Great Show I Saw

As promised, here is the full-er review of the crazy show I saw last night.

For Today:
I missed half their set cause I was late, but as soon as I showed up it was apparant that they were killing it.
I could recognize what song they were playing when I was half way down the street (The Advocate)
These guys were SO tight, it was my second time seeing them since valentines day when I got to open for them with Behold! The City
The great thing about FT is their no-holding back approach to sharing Jesus.
Mattie made it very clear that he wasnt talking about a book, a god whos off in the clouds, or any of that crap, but a real God who's power to change lives is incredible.
They were awesome.

Enter Shikari:
My brother first showed me this band a couple years ago, and I couldnt wait till I got to see them for the first time.
They said they've been "abusing music genres since 2003" and nothing could be closer to the truth.
These guys have super heavy breakdowns, gutteral vox, catchy and intelligent rap verses, dubstep/dance parts, everything.
Really good, their drummer was hilarious, but their guitarist couldnt stay on time in a couple places it seemed.

Whitechapel:
I first heard of Whitechapel a lonngggg time ago when i was first getting into metal. They're a six piece death metal band (three guitarists!) and very heavy.
Actually, too heavy. It seemed that every riff they played consisted of the lowest three notes, then a blast beat, then this stupid echoe effect on the vocals into every breakdown.
Honestly, it sounded like one whole song. A very long, exruciatingly boring song.
Jussayin.

The Devil Wears Prada:
The performance this band delivers never ceases to amaze me.
Picture for example, their opening song Dead Throne. The stage is complete darkness, then suddenly BAM a quick flash (in time with the sample track) of the rear stage strobe lights creating a sillouette of their vocalist, standing on the center stage riser with arms extended arms. BOOM the lights are on on the first note of the song and the band is going so hard, not missing a SINGLE note or beat.
Mike made it clear that they are a band that exists SOLEY for the purpose of Christ "no apologies"
my onlyyy scrutiny would be that his vocals were a little harsh, but thats probably due to two months of straight touring.

It was a great show!!
