trust @ the henry fonda (9/27/14)

Robert Alfons is my lifelong love of all things gay, goth, and synth-pop incarnate. His music is filthy, his voice inhuman, and last night in Hollywood he played a set better than anything I could've presumed to pick for him.

Setlist:
Slightly Floating
Sulk
Icabod
Rescue, Mister
[new song]
Bulbform
Capitol
Gloryhole
Joyland
Candy Walls
Heaven
Dressed for Space
F.T.F.
Chrissy E
Barely

Encore:
Are We Arc?
Peer Pressure

mewithoutYou @ the troubadour (6/22/14)

We saw this band again. They were awesome again. I didn't go to the hospital the night before, either, which I think makes it the better show by default.

Setlist:
Catch for Us the Foxes:
Torches Together
January 1979
Tie Me Up! Untie Me!
Leaf
Disaster Tourism
Seven Sisters
The Soviet
Paper Hanger
My Exit, Unfair
Four Word Letter (Pt. Two)
Carousels
Son of a Widow

Encore:
Sisters of Mercy (Leonard Cohen cover)
Fox's Dream of the Log Flume
Silencer
Aubergine
O, Porcupine
Allah, Allah, Allah

From that spot just outside the mosh pit, goodnight.

cut copy @ the hollywood palladium (4/1/14)

It's impossible for me to be objective about my favorite synth-pop band -- In Ghost Colours (and, to a lesser degree, Zonoscope) is so close to me that its best moments will unerringly make me experience the deepest emotions that music can -- but suffice it to say that they really know how to please a crowd. There was such joy in the room tonight. And the light show ... damn.

Setlist:
We Are Explorers
Take Me Over
Free Your Mind
Where I'm Going
In Memory Capsule
So Haunted
Hearts on Fire
Saturdays
Feel the Love
Out There on the Ice
Let Me Show You Love
Meet Me in a House of Love
Lights and Music

Encore:
Walking in the Sky
Need You Now

Sublime. Just amazing. And then it rained as I sailed home past glittering skyscrapers on the empty freeway. A good night.
