This past Sunday we performed in Brooklyn for the first time, supporting Aurelio Voltaire and Vision Video along with Then Comes Silence. Brooklyn had a hard, seasoned edge to it, and the fans were lovely. It was super nice meeting Sean Templar from Red Party NY, as well as Alice Temple of Post-Punk.com and a host of other scene notables. We played a short and tight set of:
- We Are the Darkness
- Dagger in God’s Back
- Go Die
- Heterochromia
- Bottle
- Bloat
- Kaiju
- Dead Girl Dancing
- Jolene
Monday was a little challenging with a slightly long drive from Brooklyn and some of the worst traffic we’ve seen yet on tour. A highlight of the drive down was traversing over the 4 mile long and 186 ft tall Bay Bridge. It was a little scary thinking how high we were above the water, just weeks after the Francis Scott King bridge issue a few weeks ago. The view was nice though!
We got to Richmond Music Hall on time and started our set at 7:30 (we love early show times!). After NYC we weren’t sure what to expect on a weeknight. The crowd was super loud and supportive – big pops after every song! Our merch table was quite busy – we sold way more than I thought possible for the night. It really helps all touring bands for fans to support us this way.
Our set in Richmond:
- We Are the Darkness
- Dagger in God’s Back
- Go Die
- Heterochromia
- Bottle
- Bloat
- Kaiju
- Dead Girl Dancing
- Jolene
Today we have a little easier drive down to Durham, NC for our show at The Pinhook with Vision Video. See you soon!
