The Devil Wears Prada/Your Demise/Jesaiah Live @ Klubben, Stockholm
After arriving rather late, I found out Jesaiah had already begun playing.
Not really fond of their sound, I thought their performance was pretty mediocre. Not was it only I who seemed to think like this, since the whole crowd was basically standing still, with maybe someone bobbing their head. I was expecting a little more from such a known band here in Sweden.
When it was time for Your Demise to enter the stage, the whole crowd went wild. This is what many was waiting for, and they put up quite a show. The vocalist was wearing a flanell shirt, and I though "How the hell can he wear one of those while performing? It oughtta be friggin hot". Turns out it was, and he took it off after the first song, heh.
As I mentioned, Your Demise was pretty darn good live performers. However, having listened to their latest album not too much, I hardly recognized the songs. But it was good nonetheless, although seemed very short.
Headlining The Devil Wears Prada made a good live performance, but the acting leaves A LOT to wish for. First of all, Mike made some extremely ugly faces through his screams. And I mean - UGLY. I could've survived without watching that. Second, James, Mr. Keyboardist, tried a little too much reaching for the crowd. He constantly climbed his keys and pointed out at people in the crowd thinking they adore only him. It was kind of awkward, and he only looked stupid. Third. Sweden isn't a christian country, thus you keep your preaching on-stage to yourself. Seriously. Other than that, they performed very well and they really kept the crowd going. They didn't play as many of the songs I would've loved to hear, but they played just enough.
Overall, pretty solid live show, though left some to wish for. It seemed very short, and I think I would've liked the show a lot more if I wasn't a wuss standing on the side taking pictures and being annoyed by small things the bands did.
(Also, Mike did some devil horns. Isn't that pretty weird for christians to do? Just saying.)

Ah, sweet review! I wish I went, after all. I've missed YD too many times.
ReplyDeleteAnd lmao, I've seen lots of christian bands/fans to christian bands do devil horns on shows, it confuses me every time.
Nice blog though, seems like it's worth to follow. Keep it up!
