Division with Therion at Jaxx, Friday, November 2nd

[eaeolian]

I'm personally pretty excited about this, since I'm a big fan of the band and I missed their last U.S. tour. If you're not familiar with this band, you should be, so go buy something by them. So far it's just the mighty Therion, us, and our friends Burning Shadows on this one, but look for that bill to fill out soon. In the meantime, get your tickets early and often - they sold out last time, and sellouts are a theme this year at Jaxx. (How many of you were scrambling for Symphony X and Kamelot tickets, hm? ) All ages, $18.00 from us, and, as always, we appreciate your support.

It's a Friday so I'm in

If I recall some coworkers were asking about this show when they saw it on jaxx so I'll get w/ you about more tix

 

[shaq]

I'll be back in NY then

 

[Brucekg]

I'll need at least two tickets, maybe more, I'll let you know by next week

 

[Dead_Lioness]

yay, I'm there for this one, fo sho!

 

[Dragongrrrl]

You know I'll be there

 

[Conti]

I'll try my best to go.

 

[Hyperplex]

Still trying to see what's up for this one. I'll be letting you guys know.

 

[DW Dobbs]

Hyperplex is definitely going. I just checked his schedule.

 

[Hyperplex]

HAH! Still don't know about this one. Lots of things are still up in the air.

 

[eaeolian]

Getting down to crunch time. Since Philly's show was canceled, I'd expect sales at Jaxx to go up...

 

[Hyperplex]

Sorry guys, looks like this one is another no-go for us.

 

[eaeolian]

Too bad, Plex.

Well, we're out of tickets, so it's off to the club with you if you want them!

 

[Cheyanne]

I am hyped and ready, and cleared off my phone's storage card so i can try to record video again.

Note to self be in MIDDLE of stage this time..

What time do you all go on so I can fight my way to the middle early enough lol

 

[eaeolian]

We should be on between 8 and 9. I won't know for sure until I get there, as usual...

 

[Cheyanne]

so here I am standing in line (it is cold), and I see Hunt shirts behind me a ways! I suspect it is a winner of the contest

way to make a presence!

In other news... it's cold.


Edit: It WAS a winner; Candy!

teehee

I am exhausted.. but ye gods it was a flipping AMAZING show; the people in Therion were so nice!

 

[eaeolian]

For those who didn't go to the show, you have no idea what an awesome, intense experience you missed. That was one of the best shows I've ever seen at Jaxx, and Therion are some of the coolest people I've met yet. Kris and Thomas, especially - they went out of their way to converse and be available to the fans, and actually came in for the opener's sets, some the headliners rarely do.

The band was ridiculously energetic, powerful, and theatrical with NO backdrop or extra stuff on stage. Incredible.

Aesma Daeva wins for best tour prank I've ever seen by coming out in plastic viking helmets and a cardboard boat during the "Thor: The Power Head" encore.

Burning Shadows have improved mightily since the last time I saw them, and played very well - and, as always were cool guys.

I only caught about 1/3 of Almost Human while trying to arrange dinner and get my wife in the club. They definitely have potential.

A big thanks to everyone who came out - I think I saw 1/3 of the people I know in the entire metal scene last night.

 

[Cheyanne]

I will give you a CD of the video/pics I got (I do NOT promise quality, people were pretty rough up there LOL) at rehearsal!

 

[profusion]

You guys rocked, too! That was a great set. New material is sounding good...

Therion's live act absolutely blows away their albums, eh?

 

[NickDivision]

i have to agree with that. Even the few CD's I have from them, their live show was far and above the recordings. There were so many textures with the heavy music and the myriad of vocals. It was great to watch. I agree with Mike on the tour prank, that was hilarious!
