Probably one of the best live shows I've seen! I could not have enjoyed it more.
Bell X1 played an amazing gig at the Bowery Ballroom. Played a great set, intermingling new material with classic favorites. Entertained the crowd playing a rendition of R Kelly's 'Remix to Ignition'.
Maybe it is just me, but I saw them here 2 years ago. They were great and upbeat, Talking Heads kind of vibe. This time, slow depressing songs, one after another. Even the singer had to tell the audience to shut the fuck up! They even has a song that sounded like a slowed down version of a Clash song! I was not the only one leaving after 45 minutes. Go see Nine Inch Nails, that was a great show!
I have seen Bellx-1 a few times as they've come to town, they always put on a great show and the Sinclair was a really good venue
They walked on stage and immediately went into a beautiful version of Starlings Over Brighton Pier. The show only got better from there. Bouncing from keyboards to guitar to drums, Paul Noonan never missed a step, or a beat for that matter. They played everything I'd hope they would with one small exception. No Ribs of a Broken Umbrella... But they did a brilliant version of Rocky Took a Lover right into Eve the Apple Of My Eye. Most of Chop Chop was on the set and there wasn't a single lull in the evening. I learned that it's morally wrong to squeeze a tea bag. Who knew? Thanks to an extra few lines added to The End Is Nigh I will never squeeze another tea bag. They slipped in a cover of a Roy Orbison song, She's A Mystery To Me with each member of the band taking a turn on vocals. This is a truly great band and they are great live. Do yourself a favor and get out to see them. You'll thank me!!!
Another great show from Bell X1! Love the venue too!
Bell X1 put on a fabulous show. These guys are amazingly talented and they put it to good use. I'd highly recommend seeing them if you get the chance. The crowd at the Sinclair, however, was downright rude. They were talking so loud that, at one point, the lead singer had to ask them to shut the f--- up. Have some respect, people!
this venue really makes he whole experience awesome and intimate, I loved the set BellX1 chose and he way they switched up instruments. It was a great night out.
I had never heard of these guys before, but I liked their U2-like style. The leader was also funny, quite witty, and he didn't take himself seriously in spite of his reputation in Ireland.
Amazing band. Great intimate venue for an acoustic show. My first time at the Mod and was not disappointed.
