Do These Bands Fux Live?

Cant go to the great Northeast without checking out one of the Reinier City's hot venues filled with equally hot co-eds. Fazerdaze was there to amaze but only had time for a 30 minute 2.75/3 hypnotic displayz, while Pond was playing 4.25/5 raucus performance to an exactly appropriately sized crowd.

Second time, long time, but well worth the weight. After years of wondering when the wonders from Canada would come and they did not disappoint. I watched from the front to the back being equally enthralled by their 4/4.5 performance. Tokyo Police Club screwed up the lineup and went on after 1.5/2

Uh oh look out, woman singing and drumming. Crowd moving. What do I do??? 4.5/5 Charlie

Appears to be Ms. (I hope) Krishna's first flight across the pond in quite some time to a quiet little spot for those who know where to find it. A little cramped, a little low-key, a little bit moving. 2.5/3 since I had to keep leaving to make room for the other guests.
Freddy's Backroom
Opener
IAN SWEET
Williamsburg
October 31st, 2024
After years of anticipation and one failed DJ set, I couldn't believe I found myself in front of Ms. (I hope) Sweet on the most ghoulish night of the year. Well ghoul out she did, but I cant giver her higher than 4/5 since she didn't play All Skaters Go To Heaven.
Baby's Alright
Opener
Grace Ives, Nation of
Navy Yard
October 26th, 2024
Not bad considering 2 hours before I didnt even know this cert' was taking place. Almost a quadruple header if I had come for Psymon Spine, but this felt about as close to Woodstock as anything in 45/50 years. Plus the whole thing was powered by the ☀️ and the people

First trip to 30 Rock in quite a while, but had to see Bug Club when I thought I missed my chance. Had a 3/4 awkward entrance into the venue, watched a 2.5/3 + 1 (they played Marriage!) live EP, bought an album, and a 2.5/4 conversation with them at the signing.

First trip to La Poisson in exactly one year, when I last saw Kimbra upstage Taylor Swift. While I did manage to be front and middle for most of the show after 2 hours of standing my varicose veins began to bulge and had to catch the last bit from the side room. They did not play any of the songs I knew. 3.5/5
