Opener:
- Flock of Dimes. Missed them/him, as usual.
- I think they played all the songs off their debut (and only) album. Plus one new song that I didn't know.
- They brought a decent light set for a small act. I liked how they programmed the light rig to synchronize to the beats.
- This was my first time at The Ready Room. It's small, but not cramped. Kinda like Firebird.
- The show was sold out. Good for them. They seemed quite appreciative, though I couldn't really understand most of their banter from the angle I was standing relative to the stage/speakers.
- As is typical for acts like this, the performance aspect of the show is missing a little bit - knob twiddling does not make as compelling viewing as playing a "real" instrument. But I will admit that Ameila has some pretty good (though rave-ey) dance moves.
- After the main set, it seemed like there was a real chance that they wouldn't do an encore - they started the background music and turned on some stage lights. I'm not sure if that was planned, or if the vociferous crowd convinced them to come back out. I wouldn't say I was a big fan of the encore song ("Come Down", I think), though, especially the extra-spacey live take.
- I guess I should note that overall I liked the show quite a bit. It just about beat my expectations.
