The boys finally did a headlining show in Sydney at the Annandale Hotel on Friday night.
Was the first time I have seem em live and fuck me swinging, they are awesome. Seriously a world class act. Whilst it was awesome to see them up close, in a way it is a shame that they aren't able to play at decent sized venues... I guess that is just the metal scene in general in Oz huh?? The Annandale is pretty much just a pub, but it didn't detract from the show at all. As I said, it was great to be standing 2 feet from the band as they played.
Silvio is fucking awesome. His voice is so good live. He'd be up there in my top 5 singers at the moment (And after friday night, VP sealed their place in my top 5 bands along with DT, Opeth, Porcupine Tree and Pain of Salvation).
Chris's guitar solos were spot on as well as his backing vocals... Just wish they were a little higher in the mix, particulaly during Embraced casue I love the harmonies in the chorus.
Can't remember the exact setlist but it was something like this:
Hollow
Live To Live
My Virtue
Embraced
Seasons of Sunday
Samsara
Surreal
Never Walk Away
Bring on the Rain
2 Minds 1 Soul
I may be missing one or 2 songs.
They played nothing from the first album.
Was good to also chat briefly with Chris after the gig
Can't wait to see em again! I'll be there with bells on
