Hats off to this veteran band for bringing 45 minutes of high energy to this show! Good presentation. Good musicianship. John Bush and Joey Vera exude high energy and true appreciation for the fans! As a fan since the beginning, it was nice to see them for the first time . Armored Saint definitely delivered!
Tycho did a fantastic job creating a wonderful concert! He played some of his new and some of his older music! Lighting was wonderful and the essential oils sprayed in the venue helped create the perfect atmosphere! Saw him five years ago and am very pleased with this show as well!
it was so fun i loved their vibes and they were so hyped the whole show giving their all into making the show hella amazing. Totally cheered me up after being upset earlier in the day. I'm so glad i impulsively decided to go last min :)
Living colour opened things up with their infectious soulful grooves!! Vernon Reid was full on and full speed while Corey Glovers voice actually was better than when I saw them in The 90’s!! Doug and Will’s low end was tight yet playful and really drove tue band through a great set of songs!! Then there was Extreme, a band I have followed since I was lucky enough to see them in a small club in Canada back in the 80’s and have been a fan ever since! Nuno playing is nothing short of amazing and his loving little tributes to Edward Van Halen throughout the show were heartfelt and when he came out with a black and yellow frankenstrat and the band played Ain’t talkin bout love you could feel the love and respect he and the whole band had for the incredible music that Eddie created. Gary Cherone was as good now as he was the first time I saw them and on occasion hit notes that I did not think were possible. And this was despite both he and Nuno having numerous problems with their monitors. Pat Badger is a welcome sight back in bass and was not only solid but definitely showed some virtuosity on his instrument. Kevin Figuredo was very solid with great grooves and a solid meter throughout the set! All in all an incredible night of music with two bands of musical veterans who show no signs of rust, and certainly no signs of slowing down!!
The show was awesome! I had my toddler with me. The event staff was super cool and nice to us. We ended up getting a setlist and a poster! Alvvays played an amazing set. I was so stoked to hear Party Police!! I've read that Molly doesn't like performing that song, but it's one of my favorites.
Wonderful tour, I've been waiting a decade to see TAA. I'm beyond excited that I didn't have to travel a half workday away to be able to see them. I think it was wonderful, but the one downside was that the smoke machines were waaaay too heavy to be able to see the performers clearly! 😅
Every. Single. Band. KILLED it!
Mugshot was really good! Dying Wish was fantastic! Currents, while WAYYYY too much bass, brought a LOT of energy! (2nd time seeing them) and The Amity Affliction proved to me why they’re so popular in the metalcore world! Can’t believe I’ve never really given them a chance. They were superb!
Great Celtic rock. Solid, high energy tight band. The vocalist, rhythm guitarist lead the charge. He was engaging and fun-he brought the intimate small room of friends atmosphere to the bigger stage.
Other highlights:
-The drummer was excellent, high energy and driving.
- The bass player was solid and helped lead the drive,
- The fiddle/Irish flute/ mandolin player was a show by himself. (Full of talent, and creative) Great soloist.
-The lead guitarist was a dream, playing the Strat, with a tasteful melodic style, holding back until he knew to kick it up a bit.
Having seen them, I'll go see The Young Dubliners any chance I get.
Dirtwire just keeps leveling up every time I see them! The new laser light and screen were awesome, but what was mindblowing was the increase in sound quality. The Spokane Knitting Factory usually doesn't have great sound, but Dirtwire's sound tech worked some aural sorcery which resulted in the mix being heard from all directions and vibrations I could feel in my hair.
The opening band they invited for this part of the tour is so far THE best we've seen, and I hope we get to see them with Dirtwire again.
Another highlight were the guest sax and trombone players. They were a great addition to the songs and often gave David Lynch movie vibes in the best way.
I can't wait to see them again!
Amazing from start to finish! Youth Foundation is the newest band on the bill but they played liked a veteran pop-punk post-hardcore band that has been doing this for a decade already. Four Years Strong was loud and in your face as always, but it never stopped you from wanting more. Seeing Page Avenue in its entirety, with a sprinkle of their new album was a mid-30’s wet dream. Story of the Year played their songs like it was 2004 and had a fun tribute to the time period during their encore. If you still have a chance to see this tour, DO NOY HESITATE TO GO!!!
They played 1 full album and a whole bunch of songs off their new album, very art or prog rock remind me of rush but overall very awesome concert and this band definitely deserves a lot more attention! Calado, their lead singer, and guitarist is a killer at guitar solos and using the wah pedal!🤘🤘🤘
You may not like the musical genre, but this is one of the best live bands touring today. Tatiana is quite possibly one of the best singers in the world and most definitely the fiercest and most unique vocalist out there. Once you get past the shock of the singing you will find guitar, drums and bass that are as good as it gets. Never miss them.
All three bands were great! I didn’t know the opening act, Scowl, at all. The first couple songs were kinda generic and then they found their groove and the band’s and crowd’s energy started feeding off each other.
I only knew one song by Negative Approach but they were high energy and super tight for their whole set. The merch counter was sold out of their cds so I went to their label’s website and they don’t have any either. Amazon has them in stock but I prefer to buy from the artist or label, Amazon gets the business this time.
Circle Jerks were f’ing incredible and played an amazingly long set considering most of the songs were from the first two albums and clock in at about a minute 30. Punk rock pioneers who’ve really figured out how to be a band and they delivered the goods!
Colby and his band absolutely delivered! It was a fun evening, full of great music and wonderful atmosphere! Thanks to the Knitting Factory for being such a terrific venue! I’d buy tickets to a Colby Acuff concert any day of the week! Good times!
Went I got the txt asking what songs we wanted to hear, I knew beforehand it was gonna be a great concert! They had such a long set and so many good songs. It was a great performance! I also liked that the merch store had a tip option, we tip everyone, why shouldn’t we tip live performances!
Dam band brings it hard, 20 songs with covers from metallica to iron maiden to slayer! Every song is a headbanger and 2 hour straight of thrash and grove metal! Much respect to Robb and the guys, so nice and just awesome performancers, definitely catch them live!🤘🤘🤘
very good band, such a great energy and they have music that sounds like nothing else, and that music is amazing in my opinion. I was told I'd have to fight a 6' Mongolian at the bar to get a beer but that just never happened, we only pushed each other in the mosh.
If you have the chance to see this band and either you like rock/metal/mongolian, you will not be dissapointed
I thought it was fantastic performance and I love Shakey Graves as an artist event more and evermore!
Unfortunately as for the theater (***), not single great place to stand when everyone in a chair blocks the view of the artists and the great but only slightly visible light show. Good sound though.

The Hu performs well, the music and the atmosphere were awesome in the energy and there dedication to the music and sound they represented. I could not have been more pleased with there show. I was disappointed I. How badly the sound mixing was done with the opening act. Honestly, I didn't even know the lead singer was singing except to see her moving around on stage, and I had no idea if I liked there music, the base and drum drowned everything out. Couldn't hear or understand the lead guitar when he added vocals and I didn't hear the lead vocals unless the base wasn't playing g at all.They could learn a lot from the Hu and how much cleaner there sounds we're and how much better they were at getting the voices projected over the music to really make it a well rounded and good show.
