Margot ROCKED
by Anonymous on 7/16/12The Basement - ColumbusThe two openers were pretty forgettable. The first band, Strangers In Daylight, weren't too bad but Winter Makes Sailors just didn't do it for me. This was my second time seeing Margot, the first being when CD101 day, which was slightly disappointing because their set was so short. But from New York City Hotel Blues to The Christ, they did not disappoint. They played a good mix of new songs and old hits, but with their new cd having just been released they played a lot off that album. Richard's voice was near perfect, aside from a few cracks here and there, but I didn't mind. His voice was much grittier than on their albums. Epecially on the song Ocean, which was probably my second favorite song of the night. The first being Payphone, a song that they only play live and rarely at that (AMAZING!). Plus i have discovered that steel guitar and the violin makes everything sound better. That's a fact. I had no idea how small The Basement was until i got there. I'm glad I got to see them in such a personal setting. I would definitely see them again.
