Semi Precious Weopons stole the show
by JudyO on 9/29/09Showbox at the Market - SeattleI am recommending this concert mainly based on the fact that I purchased tickets on the $15 all in weekend. Had I paid $30+ I would have given it an average rating I went to see Ladyhawke who played about a 40 minute set and no encore. She sang beautifully but her spirit did not seem into the small remaining crowd. Certainly this tour has had its ups and downs with low ticket sales and Ida Marie dropping out of the line up. So I give it to these groups to keep hanging in there and performing the best they can. Natalie Portman's Shaved Head had the hometown advantage and unfortunatey many of their fans left after hearing them play and there fore were not there for lady Hawke. They were a fun goofy group. I sure wish they would do more of the female vocals, I really like her voice. You can tell this band is on the road to finding their sound. They put on a fun performance. The real winners were Semi Precious weapons. To be honest I am not into their music, a little too grunge/punk metal for me but I will say I respected the showmanship, The lead singer engaged the crowd into the music he even went so far as to run through the crowd and body surf back up to the stage. In many ways he made the night as that is what I am remembering about the concert today.
