Comprised of Claudio Sanchez (Vocals / Guitar), Travis Stever (Guitar), Josh Eppard (Drums) and Zach Cooper (Bass), Coheed and Cambria have gripped listeners and press around the globe with their visionary compositions and conceptual mastery. In 2018, Coheed and Cambria made a stunning return with their new album THE UNHEAVENLY CREATURES, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s “Hard Rock Albums” chart, #6 current sales and Top 15 on the “Billboard 200” chart. Boasting 15 songs over 78 minutes, THE UNHEAVENLY CREATURES marked Coheed and Cambria’s furious return to concept albums, the ‘First Act’ in a brand-new story arc set within the backdrop of The Amory Wars universe. The acclaimed record is highlighted by standout tracks “The Gutter,” “Unheavenly Creatures,” “The Dark Sentencer” (premiered by Marvel Studios) and “Old Flames,” the latter of which features an official music video directed by Charles “Chas” Todd. The cinematic clip features striking choreography masterminded by Broadway luminary Jon Rua who is known for his roles in the 12-time Tony nominated Spongebob Squarepants and the Tony & Grammy Award Winning hit musical Hamilton. More recently, Coheed and Cambria teamed up with GRAMMY Award-winning singer Rick Springfield for a sequel to one of the most iconic stories in rock ‘n’ roll history with “Jessie’s Girl 2” and launched their very owncoffee brand, Coheed and Cambria Coffee Roasters.
absolutely amazing, best show coheed ever put on!!
The opening bands were a little shaky but Coheed blew my mind. Venue was great too, the only problem I had was a rowdy fan must have toss his beer cup because the people around me as well as myself got covered in beer.
Coheed was outstanding, as always! House of Blues in AC has a great personal setting, and I'd see anyone there, you'll never be 'closer' to the band...but the band's overall sound doesn't translate as well in the small venue as compared with an open-air setting. These guys are intricate, dynamic, etc. The last outdoor show I saw blew my mind and really set the bar. HOB was too darn loud to enjoy those moments as well in. Coheed = Five-stars as always Coheed in HOB Venue = 4
I will start with the only negative, which is that Cohhed didn't take the stage till 10:30 ish and the opening bands were sub-par. Once C&C took the stage, I can't recall a better live show ever. They played an excellent mix of popular and less known songs. It was a fabulous show!
Band is great and it was an awesome show. They really know how to play live.
While I didn't find the opening acts all too special, I thought Coheed rocked. Solid, tight sound...awesome musicianship. Would prefer an alternate ending, however. Something other than a drum solo perhaps. Overall, a good show!
Coheed is my favorite band, so clearly I had high hopes for seeing them for the first time, especially since they don't headline that often. My boyfriend bought me tickets for the show at the House of Blues in Atlantic City, NJ, which was an amazing venue - very small, and not really a bad seat in the house. That said, we did have actual seats, not just general admission, which I was glad for with all the crowd-surfing taking place downstairs. My only issue with the whole night really was that they had THREE bands before them. The crowd only expected two, so when the third band came out, no one was particularly happy to see them. That said, Coheed did play for quite a while, and come out for a long encore, so it was worth the wait.
