Sturgeon Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 A thread for reviewing the live performances of musicians, and also the venues they play at.Went to see Ne Obliviscaris at the Dallas House of Blues tonight. Unconventionally, the tour manager decided to have the best band play first and with the shittiest sound quality, but Ne managed to pull off a pretty compelling show all the same. Went there, saw them, got the t-shirt.Two other bands played after them, a horrible band called "Butcher Babies" that was trying so hard to be edgy their logo literally has knives on it, and Cradle of Filth (listed as something called a "headliner", which I can only assume is a portmanteau of "headbanging" and "eyeliner"). I'd heard of Cradle of Filth before, and hoped to enjoy their performance, but the Dallas House of Blues' sound team was incompetent and the vocalist's performance sounded like feedback. I tried to enjoy their set for about half an hour, but then the feedback got to me and I bailed.I can't wait to see Ne Obliviscaris with proper sound quality. As for the Dallas House of Blues, save your money an go somewhere else. They sound like shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belesarius Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Heh Cradle of Filth. I'm FB friends with the keyboardist. Lindsay is cool. My Daughter loves her to bits. She took her trick or treating two Halloweens ago. Sturgeon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She took her trick or treating two Halloweens ago. They seemed like a really entertaining band, but imagine going to a perfectly decent show and then having feedback piped directly to both ears every 30 seconds. I don't really think CoF is my cup of tea, but at this point I'm just about determined to see them again at a different venue just to stick it to Dallas House of Blues.

Sturgeon Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Like, shit, their whole set concept was great, and I wanted to stay to enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Lindsay is cool. My Daughter loves her to bits. She took her trick or treating two Halloweens ago. She is extremely charismatic. She played some kind of Satanic priestess during the set, it was wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxn Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Glad to hear that CoF is still going, was a big fan years and years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say this to literally anyone: Check out Ne Obliviscaris, they are an incredible act that nobody should miss. CoF is cool, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing how concerts work in SA, they will be here in five years time once the main markets have been mined out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belesarius Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 CoF isn't my thing. I like some of her solo stuff tho as Lindsey Schoolcraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturgeon Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 They are just slightly too goofy and not deep enough for me, but from what I've seen, I have respect for what they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxn Posted February 11, 2016 Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 Eh, I have a soft spot for bands willing to take the piss out of themselves on occasion, and CoF is a supreme example of exactly that. Throw them on with some Type O negative to get the full effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
