Normally when I get
this far from the concert, I just skip reviewing entirely. However, there are a few points that needed
to be said.
The Bottom Lounge 3/6)-- Normally I love
the intimacy and coziness of The Bottom Lounge, however there was one major
issue with their sound system. The bass overpowered the vocals as well as the
other instruments. While over emphasized bass is a common tactic to cover for a
weak high end it can often be overlooked. However, with a band like Spill
Canvas that is so lyrically driven that it was very distracting to the point of
making me want to leave. I’ve never left a concert early of my own volition.
The Spill Canvas (4/6)
These guys have
improved tremendously since I saw them a few years ago. Their music evokes a level of intimacy that a
lot of other bands just don’t do. While they can be a little emo, for
lack of other word, front man Nick Thomasis a sweet, gracious soul whose lyrics
are touching and romantic. That shyness
that I’ve come to be so fond of was initially what made them such a difficult band to get into live, however, experience has
brought Spill Canvas a new degree of confidence and comfort on stage that
wasn’t there in past shows. This new
attitude, in turn, has produced a significant improvement in energy.
