So yeah, Curiosa had a pretty good line-up. But Muse is the only reason I actually went. With Muse it made a very good line-up. If they weren't playing, I wouldn't have gone.
But hey, god hates me, and after the first 3 bands play they announce Muse won't be playing tonight, because of an "injury". I call bullshit on this one. Some people I was talking with over there said they heard of Muse doing this more than a few times before. So I'm pissed as hell. Completely destoyed a lot of my faith in the band. But whatever.
As far as the other bands:
Head Automatica - Really dancy, rockin' band. Make you wanna move. Never heard them before today, and they were very enjoyable.
Mogwai - Some songs were ok, but too much loud noise. It didn't sound like music. It was loud, obnoxious noise. They had two songs I liked.
The Cooper Temple Clause - Fucking rocked. These Brits know how to play. Great set list, and a great performance. Band of the night, no doubt. I was expecting awesomeness, and what I got was awesomeness X 2. The guitarist was playing with a violin bow. Rock. This where the "Hey Eric, the only band you really wanted to see won't be playing! Eat shit!" announcement came.
The Rapture - Gotta love these guys. They WILL make you want to dance and tap your feet. Just as pure rockin' as you can get. And they accomplished something I have never, EVER seen before in my life. The middle of the lawn, where people mosh during Ozzfest, turned into an ENORMOUS dance party. At least 500 people actually got up, went to the center lawn and just started dancing. It was easily one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Something I won't forget for a loooooooong time. It's like something you would stage for a shitty music video, but it was all real. It was an awesome experience.
Melissa Auf Der Maur - Eh, ok. Mediocre rock. But Melissa and her bassist are fine as hell. Melissa has a simply beautiful ass.
Interpol - Surprise of the night. I wasn't expected much, but they blew me away. Sounded just excellent, and played a lot of older stuff. I was expecting nearly all new stuff, but they mixed it up well. That singer has such a different voice...it's refreshing. A total surprise, and nice way to end the night.
The Cure - The Cure sucks. We left after Interpol.
So, a good show, but Muse would have made it just great. I need to get more of Interpol's stuff.
