Moving Mountains and Thursday made the show
by ThatGuyYouTrust on 9/21/09Bowery Ballroom - NEW YORKRating: 5 out of 5The combined talent of the bands that played is an incredible thing. That doesn't mean that the entire show was incredible though. Fall of Troy came on with their typical arrogant frontman Thomas Erak. They fumbled through an entire set of guitar solos and obnoxious gestures. Another band, a new band called the Young Widows, tortured the crowd with their incredibly annoying brand of experimental rock. Now it may seem like the show was not worth going to, but the performances of Kiss Kiss (a circus rock band from Purchase, NY), Moving Mountains (a post rock band on the brink of enormous success), and Thursday (need I say more?) was more than reward enough for waiting through the appalling performances of the Young Widows and Fall of Troy. All three bands were tight beyond belief and their stage performances were entertaining beyond belief without becoming annoying and arrogant. If you ever get a chance to see Thursday, don't pass it up, especially if they have supporting acts like Kiss Kiss and Moving Mountains.
