80s Matchbox B-line Disaster

Hung out with Alex and Shonagh before this as I’ve seen 80s Matchbox before (2002 supporting Alec Empire) and didn’t like ’em.

Got there just before 9 and just before QOTSA started. The beginning wasn’t great sound was a bit muddy and to be honest it only got a bit better as the night went on occasionally re-dipping back into the awful noise. The set was great good mix from their entire back catalogue but just sometimes it was hard to make out what the song was.

The new bass player that replaced Nick Oliveri was competent but when the bass solo/breakdown from kicked in No One Knows it was pretty embarrassing to be honest. All in all it was a good show just not the great that I know QOTSA are capable of.

Hopefully they’ll improve when I see them in Reading tomorrow.

Later days,
Halo.
