So I ended up missing both shows from Thursday night, but it was nice having a 5 day break since my last show. Actually, that's probably what allowed me time to prepare for the sold-out Neon Indian show at the Grog Shop. I didn't get tickets until the day-of, and glad I did.
I had plans earlier, so I missed Purity Ring as the very first opener. I was fine with it, as I would pretend I didn't even know about it (I was excited about Com Truise however). Well, Melanie had to go on and tell me what a great show it was! Ugh, oh well. But I was over it pretty quickly once Com Truise started. I had been enjoying their more adventurous and dynamic electronic / pop sounds. Often not radio-friendly, but I found myself thinking how I found it exciting and even began wanting to see them more.
I really enjoyed the Com Truise show. I also liked Neon Indian, who I guess had been here not too long ago (that one eluded me). I hear at that show some of the kids were really fucked up, but maybe that helps with the chillwave sounds. I could see where tripping a bit might have helped the show, but I still found it quite enjoyable. Here's one of my favorite tracks:
The lighting was terribly low this night, so here are the best of the photos that I could get.
