A Variety of Shows
Going to concerts reminds me that I need to go to more concerts.
A few weeks ago, ventured to Northampton with friends to see Dar Williams at Iron Horse Music Hall (opening act was Hannah & Maggie). Both modern folk bands in a classic style (which is to say, vocals and guitars without much embellishment). Good stuff.
This week, went to see Dir En Grey at Paradise Rock Club. They put on a well-produced show, but I preferred the opening band, The Birthday Massacre. Partially, that's just because I was more familiar with the opening band, but I also like being able to make out the lyrics (helps that Paradise has good sound for their opening acts). Dir En Grey's selection for the concert leaned more towards death-metal, I like some of their more melodic stuff better.
