Porcupine Tree!!!1!~
I drove out to Detroit tonight (well, technically it would be 'last night'...) to see Porcupine Tree at the Majestic. And wow, I can't say enough good about the show. It was so amazing to see them perform live. The atmosphere was fairly subdued compared to many other concerts I've been to, but this is a experimental/psychadelic prog rock band, and the crowd had a lot of people in their 30's and 40's by the looks of it. But PT is so amazing as a group and to hear the songs done live is just...wow...plus Steven Wilson is kinda hot even at 40 (srsly).
The opening band was also amazing, and one I'd never heard of before by the name 3 (even though there were five of them...). Excellent sound from these guys, very technical playing at times and always furious. The singer/guitarist played without a pick and on the last song was playing so harshly that he broke two middle strings whilst playing, then ripped the rest out after he finished. That was kinda cool.
I highly recommend checking out both bands.
