Giving this concert a grade would probably be a bit unfair, as I wasn't terribly impressed. I'm not sure if it was the earplugs that I wore for most of the show (which turned out to be mostly unnecessary, as their "fairy doom" turned out not to be excessively loud; especially compared to the 5 minutes of the preceding act that I sorta caught from outside the door), the sound mix was bad, or Faetooth just doesn't reproduce their songs well live. I didn't do any "prep" before the show, so I actually mostly forgot what songs from their last album I liked; but I'm skeptical that would have helped. I couldn't really make out any of the elements that make their songs interesting on the record. Even their stand-out "October" was pretty meh. The songs sounded much better on a quick skim on the subway ride home.
The setlist may eventually show up here.
