Why does no one want to come to Philly anymore? Meh, what am I saying, I wouldn't have gone anyhow.

Written by WorpeX on 17.05.2015 at 17:21 First off they just played Philly, both bands. And 2nd the attendance is low. I've been to over 300 shows in Philly the past 10 years and 1200 capacity places barely fill. Sadly unless you're "in/trendy" you'll have half filled venues. Been to many Scandinavian bands performances and was like "Hmmm I better enjoy this I won't be seeing them play here again"

I leave Colorado Springs and look what happens! At least I got two shows in Denver, one of which was very special. Both really, but I hope there is never a pinch hit vocalist again. Elize did a bang up job, though!

They put on a great show and I'd be excited to see them again. I missed their opener Delain so this is cool to get a re-do. Perhaps it'll be more of a "hits" tour. I love Endless Forms but they do have so much awesome history in their backcatalogue that would also be amazing live. Still... despite my praise, it seems kinda weird to tour so soon and with the same band...?

Written by WorpeX on 18.05.2015 at 01:21 I missed that show but I could imagine. I've tried to travel some just to see bands I haven't seen rather than ones i've seen 5x or more.
