(Delayed) Review of Arch Enemy/Nile at the Key Club in Los Angeles yesterday

[Captain Beard]

Hello, kiddies!

Yes, NoLordy ACTUALLY went to a concert, wow!!!
Anyway, other than $10 valet parking (I was mad.) it was cool.
Artisan started it off about, oh, 8:30, and while their technical problems were a bummer, I liked their show, esp. when they covered Death's "Pull the Plug" The crowd went fucking CRAZY, and they cover very well. Origin was next, and, well, they suck.
The bassit and Rythm guitarist looked like Slayer clones, and the music was uninspired. Hate Eternal played afterward, about, oh, 9:30, and I enjoyed their music, but went downstairs briefly to buy a "Wages of Sin" shirt. Next.... ohhhh SHIT! ARCH FUCKING ENEMY!!! HOLY SHIT they're great live! Angela is a ham (loves being onstage) and they played like they KNEW they were gods.
fter that, Nile came on. Scary people. VERY scary people. Enou8gh of that, though. Outside, I spoke to Curran Murphy, who was there for the show. He's a pretty cool guy, and overall, it was a lovely show (except for my dehydration and the 3 hour dirve back.)

The show ruled! It was also cool to run into Curran and see that he seems to be doing very well! For anyone interested, there's a website with a review of the entire night and all 5 bands. http://www.euphonymag.com/2002-2/laexperimental2.htm <-there it is. Hope for more nights like this!

Metal on!
