Seamless on the other hand, just sucked. The lead singer had a voice some parts Anthony Kiedis and some parts Henry Rollins but without either’s considerable charisma.

The last song showed some signs of life, invoking the vibe of Welcome Home, Sanitarium but then despite their promise to wrap up, the song just kept going on and on.

Blind By Noon, a Boston band, was actually pretty good. They are promoting a new album out this month that might have some potential, if their showmanship was any indicator. The lead singer tossed promo albums into the audience during the last song, in plastic cd cases. I’m sure someone got gashed trying to catch the makeshift frisbee.

Rockboy has been wanting to see this band forever and I have not because just more pop punk but we caught the end and the lead singer is female and darling, I ran into her in the bathroom, she’s vivid, bright and nice which shows on the stage
