TBM 8/20 Denver, Marquis Theater

[freydis]

The openers were Beryl Beloved and Disaffected. I guess they were both local bands. I have to say, I wasn't terribly thrilled with Beryl Beloved. Firstly, the makeup looked more appropriate for a death metal band. I'm never really thrilled with that kind of makeup to begin with. Secondly, the singer was terribly flat on pretty much every single song in their set. I'm not running out to buy their CD any time soon.

Disaffected sat completely on the other end of the spectrum. They were polished, professional, and HARD AS FUCK. And the singer didn't sound like indecipherable growly crap doing it, either. They were quite good, and one of their promo people was passing out some sort of free promotional CD during their set. They've actually gained a new fan, I think.

Oooooooooh, TBM. It is a very rare thing when one can say a band is better live than on the CD. They were a lot harder live than on the album. It was a treat. They played eerything I hoped they would, and parts of the new album, which will be out September 14th. Pins and Needles is an awesome song.

I met Chibi afterward, the whole band did a signing after the show, and every one of them were wonderful, gracious people.

I slipped her one of my little pendants, too. She thought it was awesome. Heeheehee.
