had a blast tonight. only saw Katatonia though, but they were who I really wanted to see (they should have headlined, not Moonspell).
Anders is kind of funny on stage and Jonas reminds me of Ozzy on stage. They sounded good except Jonas' vocals were low in the mix and Anders got off on his backup cleans (his screams/growls were great). Kick ass.
here's the setlist as far as I could tell:
some crap off TGCD #1
some crap off TGCD #2
Had To (Leave)
Deadhouse
Teargas
Ghost of the Sun
Criminals
July
My Twin

The lighting and stage (note huge fucking pole right in the middle of the stage) in the place was not very conducive to taking pictures.

Just got back from this gig about an hour ago. Overall I'll give it a 5/10. Katatonia performed to perfection, as did Moonspell. Yet something was severely lacking from the atmosphere. It didn't have a big time feel. We arrived at around 7pm and noticed a disgusting line out front of the whisky a-gay-gay. This lead us to head in the opposite direction and go to amoeba music, which to our dismay, but not our surprise, was riddled with cancerous humanity. After a handful of minutes we high tailed it out of that Emoporium and treaded onward to the venue. As we arrived for the second time we noticed Keen of the Crow on the side of the street with some of their gear. Obviously we had missed their performance. First band up was Amon Isis of Hoboken Chile, meh meh meh. The lead singer was a girl who had her tampon on too tight. Broad couldn't shut her trap long enough to chew on a sandwich, yet at the same time she was quite appealing on the eyes. She may have received indifference as opposed to animosity if she would lay off the between song chit chat and not be OCD about her britches. Her damn leather pants kept on sagging past her navel and she obsessively pulled at them like an eager beaver. Half way in to the set came her partner for duel vocals, a rather rotund ragamuffin wearing an outfit that would commonly be seen at a burlesque show. Bah big thumbs down on this one.
Several minutes later we run in to Metal Amy of Heathen Crusade fame. We asked her if she was going to the second annual in which she replied "I'm going to try." We smelled her void of halitosis rose petal fragranced breath and voyaged to the merchandise table. I myself picked up a nice plain logo Moonspell shirt, along with a Katatonia hoodie. Prices were a little steep, but what can ye do?
Afterwards, we hiked on back to the car to drop off our goods and take a nice soothing piss in a stairwell. A homeless african american will have a pleasant slumber tonight. As we returned we caught the final song of Daylight Dies and began to notice that our backs were no longer up to the tedious task of standing around for hours on end watching bands perform. At this moment I wish I was at the theaters watching Borat. Oh well. Anyhow, out come Katatonia to a thunderous ovation, as overweight gothic chicks and 4 ft 11 inch tall long haired mexicans who look like Chilean strippers threw up the horns in jubilation. I in bewilderment, stood idly by grimacing that I must be surrounded by such disgusting gothic filth. Can people just dress like normal human beings for fuck sakes?!?! I seen a 300lb profanity doppleganger, dawning mascera and wearing tribal hair patterns. His head looked as if his barber had down syndrome. I wish a stillbirth upon his offspring, if he is ever fortunate to land a fellow disproportioned switchblade symphony loving locklear of the night. But I digress, Katatonia came on and played to perfection for a good 10+ jams. 90% of the material came from the Great Cold Distance and Viva Emptiness. May I announce that Blackheim is a fucking God among men. I was seriously enthralled by his guitar mastery and backing vocals that awoke the dead in the neighboring "Rock Hudson Celebrity Cemetary for the disenfranchised". I could of went for some more material from yesteryear, but obviously the new era fans needed to be catered to.
Moonspell was quite nice. Fernando has excellent stage presence. He figuratively grabs you by the balls and commands your attention. The setlist was a big step up from when I seen them tour with Opeth, due largely in part to the addition of several tunes from their latest high quality offering "Memorial". Pretty decent gig. I'll give the music a 9/10, atmosphere a 2/10, people a big fat negative 2. The lowest common denominator was in attendance tonight. Hey I'm not trying to get on my high horse and come off as some sort of high brow bloke, but I am a cultured culturalist and know a douchebag when I see one. So take my word for it.
I'd like to also give A big hearty F U to the security staff who acted like nazis pushing myself and several others out of the way to bully two good blokes who were simply resting on the floor between sets. If you're in Los Angeles, and are within the sight of my typed words, stay away from the Whiskey. Shit hole with a capital corn!

KATATONIA TO RETURN TO THE US THIS FALL
TOUR FEATURING ALL EUROPEAN LINE-UP
Sweden's Katatonia will return to headline their first American tour this fall. Kicking of September 4, the tour will make nineteen stops around the country and will feature an all European line-up with Sweden's Scar Symmetry joining up with Finland's Insomnium and Swallow the Sun.
The tour, beginning in Springfield, Virginia will be Katatonia's second visit to the US in a year, the band making their stateside touring debut last fall performing alongside Moonspell and North Carolina-based Daylight Dies (Candlelight). Touring in support of their first live album, Live Consternation, it will be the first time long-time American fans will be able to experience a full set from the highly acclaimed band. Live Consternation, set for American release June 5, is a stunning 5.01 cd/2.0 dvd package features selections from the band's successful 2006 album The Great Cold Distance and choice cuts from their growing and popular catalog. Kerrang notes, "submlime melodies and moments of sheer mellow bliss," while Rocksound adds, "absolutely astonishing."
On-going acclaim for Scar Symmetry's 2006 virtuosic album, Pitch Black Progress, has yielded a second tour of North America for the melodic death metallers from Sweden. Hailed as "masters of melody, complexity, and aggression" by Kerrang! Magazine and praised by Metal Hammer for their "sickeningly good riffery," the band made their debuts in the U.S. and Canada a mere two months ago on the "Metal For The Masses" tour and have scanned close to eight thousand units of their sophomore release.
Insomnium will make their stateside debut performing selections from their current/third album Above the Weeping World. This is by far the best Insomnium album, says vocalist/bassist Niilo Sevänen. It is the first time we feel we really succeeded in the studio. As a band we are very happy with the end result. Formed in 1997, Insomnium recorded two demos before signing with Candlelight Records. Kerrang says, Insomnium have grown into something truly remarkable."
Hope is the third album from rising Finnish doom/death band Swallow the Sun. Featuring a guest appearance by Katatonia vocalist Jonas Renske the album charted in the band's home country of Finland upon its release. The tour will be the band's first of America and comes as the band's profile is rising internationally. Digital Metal says, Swallow the Sun have to be considered on of the genre's top newcomers... highly, highly recommended.
