If you've listened to the Cruel Liars album you may have connected to its cool mix of electronic beats and a textured and measured vocal approach from River. However, live Mightmare is a beast of its own. Driving guitars and drum kit are front and center. The songs were transformed all together, loud and gorgeous. The band had apparently stopped the GMC van at a Spirit Halloween shop on the way to town. River was hidden under a hooded gown for most of the show. The band played the entire Cruel Liars set with one Disarmers tune added plus a blowout instrumental number as the finale. Will another Mightmare album materialize? Will they tour again? Who knows, but this was a great show.
