Amazing performance, too good to put in a paragraph....so full of energy. Played some of my most favorite songs, great stage presence, we couldn't get enough!!!! I never had bruised hands from so much clapping!!!!
I was very happily surprised with the show. Was expecting it to be on the mellow side, but was very energetic. Only tinge I didn't like is that the guys from the band kept signaling the guy from the console to change the levels in their mics. The guy never got it right. Another thing I didn't like: they started playing a song and she stopped it and said "no wait, let's start again, this song has to be perfect"... However, good show, bottom-line.
Excellent show from beginning to end. Better than the Dead.
23 is one of my favorite albums of all time, and I drove 2 hours on a Tuesday night to make the show. Unfortunately I can't really say I enjoyed it much. They were into their music but ignored the fans. There isn't much to see, and I strongly prefer the album versions of their songs. This is not a band to see live.
They never disappoint. Best performance I have ever seen them put on. Thank you, BR!
The band was absolutely amazing. The sound, set list, and onstage chemistry all made the show what it was.
I went to see blonde redhead Tuesday night, September the 3rd 2013. It was a great show, the band is very chill, humble. But on stage the convert into a unstoppable wave of energy. How do you stop a train? You don't. Allow yourself to be taken by the energy, the love and the beauty that is BLONDE REDHEAD.
very packed crowd for a good show - always love seeing Blonde Redhead and happy to ring in the new year with them
Rarely does a band sounds better than their album counterpart, but Blonde Redhead pulled it off. The L.A. crowd was very respectful with wailing to the jamz and silence during the tender moments of the set... The transitions were flawless/effortless/suprising the crowd was hanging on every pluck of the guitar and attempted to predict the next song as if their favorite was always next After the encore and after the velvetty red curtains closed, I waited in the front for a chance at a setlist. My hopes quickly diminished as I could see nothing past the curtains and security started rallying everyone towards the exits. I kept my eyes on the tiny gap that centered between the huge curtains... suddenly a blind hand reaches out and I jimmy thru security and snag the precious piece of paper from the gracious hand! Beautiful and spacious venue+++
One of the best concerts I been to. The energy from the band was great and the sound was ok. The set was great and the opening bands I will say Great! Only thing I did not enjoy is the set was kind of short about an hour there was not enough Interaction with the crowd...and being said the crowd sucked. Everyone was just standing there not rocking out I mean maybe they could of played more of their upbeat songs...but I guess thats how Cali fans are...me bein born there but from nc I am use to ppl having fun in the crowds..all in all it was great except for those two stupid DJ's full of them selves playing uncool mashups of songs they made on their lame Macs.
The show was very good, with the exception of the band on before Blonde Redhead. I wasn't into their music, and from what I could tell, not many others were either unfortunately! Blonde Redhead was a great show, though, and I'd recommend it.
I love the vibe of this band. It's so rare that a band is better live than their recorded work! The only complaint is that the crowd wanted them to perform "misery is a butterfly" but they didn't! That was disappointing
This was a great concert. Strong set list for Blonde redhead. They started once again with their best song (IMHO) and opener Black Guitar. Set the mood for the night. Love their new album btw. The El Rey crowd was very pushy though. I have to admit that I couldn't thoroughly enjoy the concert because I caught a glimpse of the MOST attractive female at the show. short pinned up hair in the back, sexy secretary glasses, soft white shirt, very slender build, style was her middle name...ahem okay, so the show was great.
Blonde Redhead are simply great. Love them. They played a great set of songs, mostly from Penny Sparkle and 23, but with a couple earlier tunes too. Sound was good. The El Rey is really great for seeing bands as the venue is small but not cramped, so everyone can see them clearly.
What an awesome show this guys put up, no flashy lights smoke and mirrors but pure good music. I will be sure to catch them anywhere I can.
I've loved these guys for awhile now and hadn't really had a chance to hear the new album. Hearing all of them live was the best way to fall in love with all of them. The overall design was of stage and lighting was great, plus they came out for 3 encores I believe. Only thing that sucked was one of the security guards at the Warfield, he was a rude douchebag, completely the opposite of how the entire night was, not the bands fault. Can't wait to see them again!!
Blonde Redhead was pretty darn good although they looked a bit tired. I danced to every song and everyone around me had a great time!
So, let me start off by saying that Blonde Redhead is one of my favorite bands, but I keep my wits about me and am not star struck by seeing my favorite bands live and am not completely enamored by Blonde Redhead's new album. Having said that, both the band's stage presence and design were completely fantastic. I loved the lighting. Very nice equipment and very tastefully used. Considering this concert took place in Denver, the altitude messes with a lot of bands who aren't used to it. I have seen Blonde Redhead a few times before and can say that, although they seemed much more well rehearsed than previous times, I do think that they fell short in a few technical areas as far as audio levels and technical prowess. They came out of the gate very strong. The first five songs or so sounded fantastic. After that point the guitar work got a little sloppy and Kazu's vocals started cracking like in their older albums. I think that her occasional inability to hit those high notes is part of her sonic charm Kazu even apologized at one point that they didn't sound all that great. Everyone cheered. No one, including myself, seemed to think that they sounded bad, I am simply being picky. They played the most fantastic mix of their music (15 years of music) of any band I've seen. They didn't just hammer out the songs for their new album and go off stage. They came back for two encores and kept mixing up eras of their music. All and all I really enjoyed myself. And despite the minor issues, most of which I'm willing to chalk up to not being prepared for the altitude or just one-off quirks, I think the tickets are worth every penny. I will continue to be the first one in line for Blonde Redhead tickets, as they never cease to put on a fantastic show with a humble attitude. They set their expectations of themselves so very high that even when they fall a short they still amaze.
Wowie Zowie...the sound was perfect. you could hear every note from every instrument and Kazu's vocals......OMG, cant even think about it without getting all teary eyed from the beauty of it all! The brothers never missed a beat. Lots of improv that I wasn't expecting, that took many of the songs to new places. My wife thought that Kazu's voice was somehow being processed!...the sounds seemed super-human...Angelic
I have been a fan of Blonde Redhead since 2000, I have seen them live 4 times now. It has been a pleasure to watch & listen to them grow musically. Their performance at the Showbox Market was flawless, they sounded perfect. They had great energy and stage presence. Their setlist was meticulously crafted and flowed smoothly. The lighting was very innovative and inspiring. Their audio engineer also did an amazing job. I am an audiophile and very picky when it comes to live sound, and I would give the sound a 10 out of 10. Very clear, the reverb and delay settings on the vocals were perfect, and the dB level was exactly where a live show should be at; loud enough for the bass to churn your guts but not overpowering to the point of hurting you ears (or needing ear plugs).
