The Radio Dept. Tickets

I love this band. I have seen them before in smaller venues that are not obsessed with pushing the volume levels like the Fillmore does and they sounded great. Their beautiful music lost all of its subtlety. I have been to the Fillmore for over 20 years for all kinds of music genres from Chevelle to the Kings of Convenience and I have noticed a deterioration of the sound quality due to excessive volume levels that just muddy everything. A real shame.

I've been to this venue at least 4 times in the last 2 months (and many times before that) and had never had to leave due to excessive volume and/or distortion. My wife can't wear earplugs due to the shape of her ear canals, so she was plugging her ears with her fingers for the first couple of songs, as were at least 3 other people I could see. I was using my 'Dubs' earplugs, but couldn't make out any of the singer's lyrics, all the sounds were awash. If I'd been alone, I may have stuck it out, but having to wear earplugs already is a detriment to the experience. I don't know why some venues and/or bands insist on pushing the volume to the upper limits... Also, this band's music is mellow!! Why do they have to play it so loud???

Amazing show, I love the radio dept. they sound amazing live!

It's basically 3 Swedish nerds, and I'm saying that as a positive thing. You could tell that they were shy, unpretentious and really appreciating the fact that a lot of people from LA came to see their show. About half the songs were from Clinging to a Scheme which is an awesome album. The only negative for me is that they could do another 2-3 songs, but never mind, the show was pretty good as it is.

Shoe gazing music does for the ears what watching paint dry does for the eyes. It's not for everyone, but it serves a function. I found it somewhat painful but most of the crowd seemed to enjoy it as they immersed themselves in private memories associated with the songs. The vocals were muffled so I couldn't make out their voices and there was no drummer... I couldn't stand it after 30 minutes so I left. The fuschia lighting was nice.

The most amazin show i have ever been too by far. Not exaggerating. Very great live, like i imagined. Overall: Total awesomeness

I'm pretty sure this was the Radio Dept.'s first ever US tour, and I have been a fan for 4 years now. Getting the chance to shoegaze with them live was a dream come true. They had another shoegaze group (Young Prisms) open for them with a nice moody set. Radio Dept. then played a very solid set for a little over an hour and set a fantastic mood. They were very true to their various albums and I enjoyed the songs they selected to play. I was really let down that they did not play "Pulling Our Weight", which is my fave song by them. But the set was still great overall!

been waiting for them for a while. glad they finally made it out. very worth the wait.

Radio Dept gave an amazing show...................

I had never heard of Radio Dept before going to the show, and I had never been to the Music Hall of Williamsburg. Went on a friend's recommendation. Loved both the venue and the show. Acoustics were great, the place was small enough to feel intimate but large enough to feel like there was a full, great crowd. Radio Dept was engaging. They had lots of energy, and they sounded terrific. Would definitely see them again.
