mutemath kicked off their intimate tour last night at a teensy little club in my city and it was
so good. there were a lot of hits (they played some new songs that sound killer, paul meany joined the audience on more than one occasion, his vocals were spot on all night, they played almost all of the songs i really hoped they would play, there wasn't one overly obnoxious person in the club that everyone hated, the lights show was spot on, darren king slayed on the drums as per usual, and roy mitchell was looking trim and i think i even saw him smile a couple times) and a couple of misses (doors were almost an hour late and the sound mixing wasn't my favorite...i
almost always want more vocals) but the amazing definitely outweighed the less-than-stellar.
there's just something about getting to see a band that can sell out a larger venue in a space that only holds a couple hundred. the audience is usually the die-hards that have been fans for years and bought their tickets the moment they went on sale. the band is typically a little more candid, reminds them of their first tours when those were the only clubs that they could even have a prayer of getting into, and reconnects them to the fans that have been with them their entire careers.
i didn't have my camera with so here are a couple of crappy phone pics that don't do the experience justice at all:
