Disappointing
by murple22 on 2/17/11Mercury Lounge - New YorkI had high hopes for this group as I love lots of their stuff, but the show was disappointing. I had never been to the Mercury Lounge before, so I wasnt sure if the problem was with the acoustics of the venue, or the sound of the band, but while their studio stuff sounds very smooth, live they sounded like a sensory assault. The guitars were too harsh, the sounds didnt mesh well and the result was sloppy. On the positive side, the vocals were good, and saved the show.
