The Thermals/Cymbals Eat Guitars: Live

On Thursday I saw The Thermals and Cymbals Eat Guitars, an absolutely fantastic show. Both bands are touring pros and know how to put on a great show.

Cymbals Eat Guitars create the kind of loud, relaxed college rock that is sorely missing at the moment. They just jam with out being tedious or boring. Plus frontman Joseph D'Agostino might be the hardest working/sweatiest performer I have ever seen. He absolutely shreds his guitar as well. They played a mix of their excellent debut - Why There Are Mountains, plus a bunch of new songs. The new material sounds like Cymbals are taking their game to another level. I am excited to hear it.

If Cymbals Eat Guitars were great for their ability to jam and let the song evolve, then The Thermals were fantastic for their ability to keep the songs energetic and compact. I have no idea how many songs they played, but they went by at Ted Leo pace. In fact the Thermals might be the best live act I have seen since Ted Leo. The new album sounded fantastic live and the classic songs got the audience pumped. Absolutely essential to see both bands live.

The Comeback: LCD, Hold Steady, Bowery Boys

Sorry I have been away for a while, but I am back and prepared to get Noise Verse Noise back up. More updates and tracks to come.

Since being back in Boston I have seen LCD Soundsystem and the Hold Steady. Both shows are fantastic and everyone should check them out. LCD has its live performance nailed. I have seen them twice now and it always delivers. The set is perfect mix of old and new and features all your favorites.

The Hold Steady's live show has been legendary for a long time now and still lives up to the hype. It was some of the most fun I have ever had at a concert. The Wintersleep opened for them and they are fantastic. Good sound and college rock vibes, a solid choice for an opener.

Lastly, want to give a shout to my friends in the Bowery Boys. Great local Allston band. These guys are a ton of fun live and should not be missed. Their cover of Free Bird is always entertaining.

Below are photos from all shows.
