The Colour

Went to Cinespace last night – haven’t been there in many moons. Gotta love the free booze. So The Colour went on first. A local Los Angeles band that just released their album Between Earth & Sky. I thoroughly enjoyed them. They played all the songs to keep the audience moving. They also had alot more people watching than Wired All Wrong which was I guess the headliner if there is such a thing at Cinespace.

I will say that lead singer had all the right microphone tricks. You know the spinning around and all those tricks you see the emo bands doing. He had them down even though they aren’t an emo band by any means – I guess I’m just scarred from seeing that kind of thing all too often on mtv. I revisited their music today and like it even more than last night. He’s got a powerful voice and their rock soul music is all to perfect to listen to hanging out with friends. Overall good show by The Colour.

Now onto Wired All Wrong. Well here’s were it goes down hill folks. Sorry but I watched about 2 -3 minutes of the first song then decided to amuse myself somewhere else. The guys were playing like it was an arena and they were ready for the big time. Especially the bassist with his black fingernails and gloves cut off at the knuckle. There were just too many things that turned me off I could write about but it’s really just easier to say this -

It was about as typical as a girl wearing ugg boots in the winter.

It amuses me to say that even with all their grand theatrics on stage (which also included two attractive chicks in doctors coats fiddling around with a clipboard and every so often singing) that there was about 1/4 of the people watching them as was The Colour. To throw out a number – maybe 40. I could be dreadfully wrong yet I’ve seen empty shows at Cinespace and this was one of them.

I will say this – I don’t mind their music, I would give it a listen every so often yet the live show killed it for me.

Well I’m done being Negative Nancy for today, I don’t usually like to write negative reviews but you know what, it has to be done.
