E: 2001 w/ Mike (guitar) from the Indobox
Show last night was AMAZING! Everything was supposed to start @ 10pm, but they didn\'t start letting people in until about 10:40. Line moved pretty quickly after. To make up for the late start the venue decided to extend curfew until about 1:45am.
Indobox took the stage about 11pm and played a great opening set. I\'ve seen a bunch of Indobox shows, but didn\'t recognize a lot of the songs they played. Definitely a lot of new ones in there, but I was really impressed. The only song I recognized was Pterrodactyl Park. Very strong opening set and I knew it would be hard to top...fortunately the Breakfast wasn\'t going to be upstaged
Breakfast got on about 12:15 and opened with GBFieryBalls (which i personally haven\'t seen in years). It was pretty standard, but the outro jam segued into a very cool and stretched out X-Files jam. Space Oddity was very solid as well and really got the crowd excited...which by the way was a *GREAT* crowd. There were a bunch of people there for the BOX, but things picked up over the night. The entire floor and downstairs area was shoulder to shoulder with people by the end of the night.
Once the band started Metropolis things started to get rowdy. I haven\'t seen too many B\'fast shows in 2010, but i\'ve seen Metropolis show up on a lot of setlists. It\'s clear this song has become a heavy hitter. Unreal version with great energy. The audience was eating it up with fists in the air. After Metropolis we got two covers. I was largely unfamiliar with Inca Roads and didn\'t recognize Subterranean Alien at first. Both were played well and even though I didn\'t realize what they were playing, there were several people in attendance that you could tell were blown away. Phaddy Boom Baddy brought everything together nicely to end the show. Ending jam was very high energy.
After a quick encore break the band came back on with Mike from the Indobox for a nice version of 2001. I\'m guessing it was probably in the 10-12min range. Perfect close to the show.
Despite only getting one set, the B\'fast really maximized on their 90 or so minutes. I feel very lucky to have been in attendance on Friday night. Thanks again to Chris Fitz for bringing me, Kaz and Zuke up to the show. I wish I could have a more detailed review, but I was pretty sloppy Friday night. I can\'t wait to listen back. Matt was taping from the balcony last night for Indobox and Breakfast...i hope everything came out well
