so uh, Cloud Nothings/Japandroids was brilliant last night.
went early cause the band who opened for them are pretty solid and i wanted to catch their set. turns out everyone else had a different plan and therefore we were front row, dead centre, for the entire night. Cloud Nothings were everything i could've asked for and more. their set list had a few songs from the new album, but stayed mostly around Hear and Nowhere Else and Attack on Memory. Dylan is an amazing guitar player live, i think it's really easy to not hear all the intricacies when listening to them, but seeing him actually play really opened my eyes. the drummer is also a ****ing mad man who went off on his own multiple times. they played Pattern Walks and Wasted Days and they really did their own thing with the instrumentals in the mid part of the track. after their set i talked to dylan a little bit and i ended up with one of the drummer's drum sticks, so that was kinda cool.
japandroids were really good as well. their anthemic music transferred really well to the small venue and their dynamic on stage was pretty impressive for a 2 man act. their was no following up Cloud Nothings (probably cause i like them way more) but Japandroids still had a really solid set and came out with a ton of energy.
this is the band that opened for them, definitely give them a listen. really cool girls too.
