Lincoln Hall: Tapes ‘N Tapes

The other night I met with some friends to see Tapes N’ Tapes at Lincoln Hall. This was my second time at the venue and probably the third time I’ve see the band. I think all the other times were in some kind of festival atmosphere.

The show was good, they played a bunch of new songs that are from their new album that hasn’t been released yet. The sound at Lincoln Hall is great since it’s one of the only modern places I’ve ever been that was actually designed for rock and roll.

Side Notes:
*Whoever runs the smoke machine needs to calm down. It was unreal how many times the smoke machine would just randomly go off for no reason at all. You have a new clean venue, there’s no reason to add that ‘smoky grime feel’. It got really annoying by the end.

Lincoln Hall: Ted Leo + Pharmacists.

Last night Nick and I went to the opening night of Lincoln Hall to see Ted Leo + Pharmacists.  It was the first time I think I’ve ever been in a new venue outside of Promo West Pavilion (or whatever retirement home name it has now). The show was good, the drummer was having a bad night breaking drumsticks and smashing drums during the set. By far the best bathroom I’ve seen in a ‘rock venue’.  I was thinking they were going to pump in ‘urine smell’ or something to create that authentic rock & roll feel but this was not the case.

Side Notes:
* I think this is the third time I’ve seen Ted  Leo + Pharmacists (opening for Pearl Jam in Hartford, at River to River Festival in New York and I think at Lollapalooza).
** Nick’s roommate Noah is the bass player for Ted Leo.
