Fabulous show. Disappointing that Ash decided to play the opening set (45 mins) for The Bravery so they only ended up playing two songs off of Free All Angels. However, I was super excited to see them after almost two years, and the band seemed to be super excited to see the crowd. Overall it was a good time, but through The Bravery set I kept hoping Ash would come out for an encore. For reviews, check out zunta.
Despite what others say, I was impressed by The Bravery. Particularly since they sound like Brit band, seemed to be on a Brit label (but maybe I'm totally wrong about this but I don't feel like checking my facts), and looked like a Brit band, they were actually American. Being a fan of Brit-pop (for some reason has become a scary word to use in DC among some bloggers--although Mousetrap acquainted me with it about two years ago) and going through my formative teenage angst ful years glued to The New Order, Monaco, and sycophants Frente, I never had a problem with the genre itself and am glad bands who continue their legacy still exist. I wish The Black Cat could have more excellent performers on their stages such as the ones Thursday night.
