Wishing for MORE
by Powerflower on 8/29/14The Norva - NorfolkThe quality of washed out's show was unreal. All their songs sound so much more involved and emotional live (as is pretty usual for live music), and the DRUMMING and side chaining of bass to the drums was SO GREAT and loud and powerful. It really shoved the music into a whole new universe. The crowd was great too, everyone was so lively and into it, while still being friendly. It would be easy to just sway and nod to Washed Out but this crowd was dancing and jumping and by the encore they were crowd surfing :D the thing I was most upset about was how short the set was. Washed out also got me really pumped up and then when they were done it felt incomplete and many people milled around by the stage and outside not knowing what to do with their energy. A closer would have been nice, or just for Washed Out to play a longer set!
