On a positive note. She wants revenge rocked. Went to see Peter Murphy who was obviously very tempermental. What a disappointment to the fans because he wasn't happy with the soundman. Never been to a show without an encore. He seemed bored and pissed at the world. We just wanted to enjoy and listent to his music. What a pissy way to end a show.
Peter Murphy did not engage the audience and didn't make any attempts to work with the sound people to make things right. His attitude was terrible. Short one hour set with no encores. Disappointing.
The amount of time it took to change sets between bands was endless and unnecessary. If it is a ploy to sell more drinks, that is inexcusable. She Wants Revenge is earnest enough in their efforts, but is bland, boring and one-noted. Peter Murphy came on after a 40 minute change over to an incomplete set up. This pissed him off and set the stage for the remainder of the night. Encore? Lights? Mixed signals anyone?
Sound crew couldn't get their act together and Peter Murphy got pissed and walked off stage, after making the crowd wait til 10:45pm for first song...(8pm start time) with 2 lame bands beforehand. Wish I stayed in bed....
First time seeing SWR & i loved it! Tickets were standing room & i was able to get close to the stage, nice venue.
Hi, I loved the venue and the afterparty was fun. She wants Revenge was really great. Peter Murphy was definitely having an off night. I almost thought that maybe he didn't feel well. He started out playing one of my favorite songs, then stops in the middle and plays something else. He was sitting on the drum stage for a while, which led me to believe that he was feeling weak. He didn't engage with the audience at all and he didn't do an encore. I know that the turnout was kind of light, but if he wasn't sick and was just annoyed by the light turnout then I will be really annoyed. I've seen him three times before this and he was incredible. Something was definitely wrong, Lets see how he does tonight in NYC.
She Wants Revenge was worth every part of these tickets, and would see them again; however, Mr. Murphy should pack it in. There was little in the way of satisfaction w/ his performance. This was not the Peter Murphy I knew growing up. No encore, and totally dismissive of the crowd. Now I understand he was having sound "issues", but as a performer you owe it to your fans to give 100% no matter the trouble. I shall not spend money on him again. Sad way to go out. It also didn't help that there was no marketing of this event, as evident by the size and enthusiasm of the crowd. Shame on the promoter.
She Wants Revenge was the best part of the night, but I wanted to see Peter Murphy. He was pissy and upset about the sound system and took it out on the fans. He cut the concert short with no encores. This was the first time I saw him and I'll never waste my money on him again. He lost me as a fan.
Seen them 4 times and these guys always put on a great show. My favorite band, hands down.
First of all, no matter how many times I called the venue (up until day of show), they insisted that She Wants Revenge were the headline act and that Peter Murphy was going on first - specifically at 8 PM. The whole thing made no sense from start to finish, but I took their word for it. Actually, not only did they have the order reversed, but there was an additional 3rd band who went on first, at around 8:15. Peter Murphy didn't go on until a bit after 11! I could have lived with all of this if it wasn't for what happened next..... Peter Murphy, whom I have been a huge fan of most of my life (saw his first solo tour after Bauhaus broke up) came out in what appeared to be an 'unbalanced' mood. He apparently couldn't hear anything through this corded device that he had in his ear and didn't even pretend to notice that he had an adoring audience in front of him at all. He let the band keep playing and then ripped the corded thing from around his neck and hurled it at the sound guys head, took a seat by the drums and started drinking water. He then finally started singing some songs, obviously not wanting to, in the most sour mood. He didn't once look at the audience, just above us or eyes closed, cut short his set to only 45 MINUTES and walked off; no encore! The opening band played longer than that! It was disgraceful. Thank goodness for those opening bands though, because they were very good and made my huge commute to get there and ticket not a TOTAL waste. I would only ever see him again if he played with Bauhaus. This was a crappy thing to do to his fans. Plus, what was with the bulge in his pants the entire 45 minutes? That was strange and obviously distracting, to say the least :(
Hearing, seeing, and watching Peter Murphy was phenomenal. The fact that he was pissed and couldn't hear himself sing, but sound perfect was outstanding ... Those things I wouldn't change. The fact he didn't get on until 11, and then only played an hour with no encore was very disappointing, you could tell he and his guitarist were pissed about something, but it very much felt like they took it out on their fans that night. Lastly, while this show was disappointing, I wouldn't *not* suggest a Peter Murphy concert. I have seen him before and I know he can be an excellent performer.
She wants Revenge was great... Peter Murphy was a big disappointment. Lifelong fan. Extremely pumped for the show. Left pissed and will never go to a Peter Murphy show again!!
Tore a sign out of a fan's hand and threw it on the floor because he appeared to be disgusted by the small crowd turnout for the Huntington, NY show on 11/18. Sang less than ten songs (did NOT sing Cut You Up) and then walked off the stage after approx. one hour without an encore - like he had been booed - which he was NOT, although he deserved to be for the bad attitude!!!
this was horrible concert. the sound system would not let him hear himself. peter got frustrated and left the stage.
Peter Murphy left the stage after about an hour. He had complained about the sound mix onstage from the first note.
She Wants Revenge gave the fans a FABULOUS show!!! They sounded great and played a flawless set. Their song selection was excellent with songs from all three of their albums and a song from one of their EPs. They interacted with the fans well and sought the time to play an extra song. The crowd really got into it and the band was having a lot of fun playing the show. That always makes a big difference in the quality of the show. Adam did a great job on bass and keys while Justin was perfect singing and playing guitar. Thomas is an underrated guitar player and was superb. Scott did great on drums.The band also interacts with the fans before the show and after their set. The guys are extremely friendly with the fans and are happy to sign autographs and take photos at the merchandise booth. If you can see this show don't miss it! She Wants Revenge is a great band that doesn't get the media and radio attention they deserve. They are great guys without egos and you won't be disappointed. Get their early to see Hussle Club. They put on a good show and have written some good songs. They are also really friendly and their EP is definitely worth buying. Peter Murphy has an amazing voice and puts on a good show as well. My only desire was wishing that She Wants Revenge and Hussle Club had more time for longer sets, but unfortunately that's not up to them.
Awesome show...love these guys but wish it was in bigger venue had to watch from the side all night.
Excellent rock show from start to finish. I would see them again in a heartbeat.
I had the opportunity to take my fiance to his very first concert ever on Monday. We saw She Wants Revenge and Nico Vega and haven't stopped talking about it since! What an awesome experience. Front row, up close and personal. The sweetest bartender and a pretty cool crowd overall. We read the reviews of the basement and had never been there before. Admittedly, I was worried it would feel too small, crowded, claustrophobic etc. And while the capacity was maxed, it was a cozy rockin' time. Can't wait to see another band there. Thank God SWR chose Nico Vega to play with them, as they are a serious party for the senses. Very personable and we now own every bit of music they ever made (so far!) She Wants Revenge- yum. Had a blast dancing, singing and enjoying songs both from older albums and from their latest "Valleyheart" Very glad they're out and about again. While they're not nearly as animated on the stage as Aja (Nico Vega) they definitely didn't disappoint. One of the best bands ever in terms of overall composition and unique lyrical story telling. If you missed it- you missed out. <3 Love! from Cincinnati.
what an amazing show...sold out, but not packed in like sardines, they did some old and some new songs. the venue was cool, and i will totally go back :)
