I saw the Go! Team last year, but when I heard that they were coming to town again a few months ago, I bought tickets for them right away. It wasn’t so much that there concert last year was really great, but because their support was CSS! Two of the bands I’ve been listening to lately on the same bill? I’m so there. The only problem was that the date was August 5^th, which is kind of when I was supposed to be on honeymoon. Fortunately, we hadn’t booked any flights yet, so we were able to delay going on our honeymoon until after the concert!

The concert was tonight, and it wasn’t as great as I thought it would be. There were actually 4 bands that night, but we arrived just in time to see CSS get on stage. I was a bit disappointed in their set for two reasons: 1) the sound wasn’t that great (it seemed too loud), and 2) they played every other good song except Patins!!

The Go! Team was also a bit of a disappointment (although it would be hard to top the previous concert). They had sound problems in the first half of the set, so the balance between the instruments were off to a point where I didn’t recognize some of the songs until their hooks. There also wasn’t enough energy on the part of the crowd to really get the place jumping. There was vibration but no standing wave effect.
