The Horrors Tickets

Being such a huge fan of these guys' music and creativity, I was so excited for this show, I had to sit down to relax before entering the venue! Haha. The Horrors brought such a fantastic atmosphere to the El Rey Theatre. Their music creates a heavy feeling of nostalgia and psychedelic and dream like vibes. They alternated insongs from their sophomore album Primary Colours, and their lastest record Skying. The songs from both albums complement each other perfectly. Faris gave his all into his vocals. Rhys' bass-dancing is a spectacle on its own, as well as Joshua's going crazy as he plays his guitar, hair covering his face completely and all. I completely let loose and danced to every song, closing my eyes at several points, smiling so big, and feeling doubtful that this experience was real. So surreal to be part of a crowd, who are feeling the things you are....

It has been a treat to see this band develop over the last few years. This time around they have proven that they are welcome in LA anytime. Only drawback to the show was that no songs were featured from their debut album, Strange House. I'm pretty sure the audience would have lost control if they did.

I saw these guys open for NIN at Webster Hall. After all was said and done, I saw why The Horrors are one of Trent Reznors favorite bands. Random fact: The bass player is hilariously funny.

I love everything that The Horrors have ever done, but I was especially excited to hear songs from "Primary Colours" played live. It was my first time seeing them and I was completely blown away. They were amazing and they know how to pick great opening bands as well. The venue was pretty intimate, or maybe it's just because I was at the very front. They are such a great live band. They have so much energy and a great atmosphere that they are able to maintain on their records and in their live performances. I hope that they come back to NYC very soon.

The Horrors and Black Diamond Heavies were very impressive too! I really wanted to see the Yankee game but could not pass this gig up! Best pizza I've EVER had down the street on Bedford (Anna Maria's)!

the horrors NEVER disappoint! one of the most talented energetic bands out there. they capture the 80s in a unique way, and bring me back there. love them!

Last show for The Horrors this year in the US, and they were amazing....

My ears are still ringing -- in a good way. I saw them a month or so back at the Bowery Ballroom and that was weak -- the keyboards had overpowered the guitars for petesake. Not so, this time in Brooklyn. Hats off to the sound guys at the Music Hall of Williamsburg -- the sound of impressive. The moshing got to be kind of obnoxious, but it was a hell of a rock show regardless.

Doors were set for 8pm...Horrors didn't get on stage till 12midnight... opening acts didn't start till 10 something... was a long wait. Made me pretty sad, the Horrors came out they were completely unapologetic. The sound system in Magicstick was pretty shoddy, maybe the Horrors played well, but the sound was so god awful you couldn't tell.

The Hounds Below, a new group formed by Jason Stollsteimer of the Von Bondies were the opening act for The Horrors show at the Magic Stick in Detroit. Mixing alt country with '80's Indie, the band whipped through a very enjoyable set which turned out to be their first gig! I'd highly recommend them. Second support, Crocodiles (from California, I think) showed all the promise of a band about to tear the roof of but, in my opinion, never quite delivered. I've read a lot about this band lately so I was looking forward to seeing them. Then again, I felt the same about The Soft Pack: loved the album, then felt a bit let down when I saw them live. So much has been written about The Horrors dramatic volte-face from garage rock cartoon goths to krautrock-devouring shoegazers but it really is one of those "who knew?" moments. Aided by Portishead's Geoff Barrow, Craig Silvey, and video director Chris Cunningam (Bjork, Aphex Twin, etc), The Horrors have made a belief-defying leap of faith, immersing themselves deep within the dark, pulsating, cavernous, effects-laden world of, among others, MBV, JAMC, Joy Division and Can. The power and scale of the record translates extremely well live and at times, even transcends it. So, witnessing the band in this new guise, do they mean it, man? They must have known, making such a sonic U-turn, that they were going to be put under the microscope and have their credentials double-checked. Well, I must say I'm convinced and I like to think I can tell when I'm being faked out. To make this kind of music and for it to come from a genuine place means not being afraid to leave space and there's canyons of it here. So what if the drums and bass pound relentlessly in Can-esque fashion on one note for 2 minutes before the vocals come in? Let that tension build! The set is, basically, the album although I believe they play at least one number from their debut (sorry- lazy journalism!) Nevertheless, it doesn't seem at all out of place with the rest of the set. The venue is less than half empty but we're all too mesmerized to care. To tour half-empty venues is frustrating (I've been there many a time) but, this is just what bands do. America is notorious for kicking many a UK band's arse due to it's sheer scale and magnitude and the distances between it's cities. Maybe The Horrors will never reach beyond cult status (unless they go emo on their third album!) but the main thing is they've made an extraordinary record that they're more than capable of replicating live. Horribly good.

The Horrors did take a little while on a Monday night to appear on stage, but the wait was worth it. Show was tight and professional and very high-energy. I danced the whole time. Lead singer Faris Badwan was all over the stage and interacted well with the show attendees. The band played many of their songs from the excellent CD "Primary Colours".

An excellent show! Lots of great energy. As usual The Horrors never disappoint. They played the whole of the latest album plus two from Strange House for the encore. I know, people want to hear the first album ( I love it too), but Primary Colours is perfect. I got to meet them after the show and they are a bunch of really great guys. They don't disappoint as people, so gracious, attentive to thier fans. I can't wait til they come back.

I love the El Rey and the entire vibe was spot on. The Horrors' stage presence and sound were perfect. I saw them before at another venue and there was something wrong with the sound on vocals, but not tonight. They have one of the best CDs of the year and they don't disappoint live. And I was glad to see they got a proper full show as they deserve. Opening band was good too (which you rarely get.)

It was a small venue with mostly friendly people. Me and my friends had the opportunity to meet Faris after the show.

I first heard The Horrors at Coachella and have been obesessed ever since. At the time, their album 'Strange House' was their only release. Their latest album, 'Primary Colours' is my favorite from any artist this year. I saw The Horrors open for The Kills in May and bought tickets to see them again in October during their solo tour. A diverse group of Horrors fans showed up to see the show. They played all of the songs from their 'Primary Colours' album and even came back on to do an encore- which is rare from this band. Anyone can see that The Horrors are truly passionate about their music. I can't wait to hear the music they produce in the future.

Great venue! Staff is friendly and efficient The Horrors are an excellent live band! My second time seeing The Horrors at the Glass House, and I will return every time they come back!! Thank you, Glass House & The Horrors!!!!

Okay lets start off by saying future static was a cool openeer for the band. He was playing techono and droppin some fat beats. Japanese Mototrs was high energy and rocked it and better than expected. Now lets get to The Horros they played all the songs off their 2nd album Primary Colours and took me by shock by playing some of thier Strange House stuff. Every1 was dancing, headbanging, and juming just having a good time and appreciating the music. Just The Horrors had just this great energy and so did the crowd. I would like to catch one of thier shows again if they are around the L.A. area because they were so good live better than expected.

Great show...Played all their new stuff and come back out for some more for us to enjoy their old stuff as well.

The Horrors are everything that a good concert should be and more. The intensity of their music and the scope of their stage presence only fully emerge when you see a live performance. Though I have seen them open for another band, this was the first headlining concert I had attended, and it surpassed all of my expectations. The band has dj experience, so the order of their setlist was impeccable. With the benefit of a full set for this concert, the Horrors were able to give a taste of their first album "Strange House" along with the entirety of "Primary Colours", which showcased their eclectic sound and knowledge of musical genres. Even the long, slow song "I Only Think Of You," which seems like an unlikely concert set choice, proved musically intricate and nuanced enough to make for a compelling live performance. As a bit of a side note, I came to appreciate Joshua's skills at guitar distortion. I found Rhys and Tom's instrument swapping refreshing as well.

Very average concert; acoustics was terrible - because of that most of the song lost their charm
