Gary Numan et Live at the Piece Hall

Some friends and I decided to go see Gary Numan at a small local venue. I remember as a kid, back in the 80’s hearing and seeing the video for "Cars". I thought it would be fun to see how his music evolved over the years.

There were only about 100 people at the small venue, mostly consisting of people in their late 20’s through people in their late 40’s. It seems as though he still has quite a cult following!

I was actually surprised at how much I liked his current music. Reminds me of Nine Inch Nails, due to his use of heavy synthesizers and haunting vocals. He did play a few classics, such as "Cars", "We Are Glass", "I Die: You Die", but what got the crowd really going is his new stuff from his current album, Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind).

His music is captivating, raw and hard. Lots of heavy guitar. He still looks great, and played the set with tons of energy. I’m glad that I went!

I am a renewed fan and part of his cult following. If you get a chance to see Gary Numan live, I definitely recommend it.

What can I say about a Ladytron concert? Well first of all, it was awesome! The ladies were very comfortable on stage, dancing around and generally having a good time with the crowd. The show was very energetic, with all of us dancing right along. The lasers they had going were very cool, and much different from the last concert of theirs that I went to.

The concert was supposed to be in promotion of their most recent album, but I really liked the older songs they did the best. I did, however, like their new song, "White Elephant". It came off really well live. The highlight of the night though was the performance of "Destroy Everything You Touch". I can't say enough good things about it.

An spectacular performance for a super cool song. The crowd got really into it. Actually, it was hard to not get into all of the songs. They did a bang up job on every song in the set. It lasted a little over an hour, and I felt a little worn out by the end due to all the dancing. I didn't mind though! It just means I had a whole lot of fun!
