I've been a Houndmouth fan for a while, gotten to know their music and personality well. I have no problem saying it was a fantastic show, and the venue was perfect. Truth is that deep down I want to give it 5 stars, but there were a couple of surprises I feel could have been managed better. While it wasn't exactly a secret, one of the original band member's sudden departure was not effectively publicized (see picture above, which includes all four founding memebers), and I feel the fans had more of a right to be informed and expect that the one female voice in a band known for its harmony would be replaced with either/or male voice(s), a keyboard and dual saxophones. Again, the music was fantastic, as were the performances, especially when they had to run the play after calling an audible at the line, so to speak. Knowing any of this prior to the show would not have changed how many tickets I purchased. I just would have appreciated knowing that I wasn't going to see Houndmouth as they were -- four great, young musicians with "I'll never sell out" chips on their shoulders. Instead we heard great music and saw a really, really good, full band and a pretty decent size production, from costume to lights to a bit of choreography.
