The Limousines first focused my attention for this show, but quickly got excited about seeing The Sounds as well. Once again I was surprised by a band that Clevelanders are excited about, who's been around a while (2003) and who I haven't heard about. Though I guess it shouldn't be, and I'm thankful that's the case actually. It was a nice crowed for a mid-week electronica / dance pop show at the Beachland Ballroom.
Walked in for the last couple songs by The Limousines. Unfortunately, because I liked what I heard during our entry, and trip to the bar for a beer. By the time we got settled and I went to grab my camera, they were done. Shit. Good stuff though!
The Sounds entered to the fanfare of a veteran band, that I guess they are. Their performance kind of lent to that aesthetic as well though you could see it was worn. Maja walked on stage, smoked a cigarette, and really tried to rile up the crowd. Maybe it was late in the tour, or maybe it was just an off night for them, but it just kind of fell flat. Their live show wasn't nearly as good as some of the gems on their recent release. I caught this little ditty and headed out soon after.
