we saw Architecture In Helsinki saturday night. i've never really listened to them, so i only recognized one song, but they were fantastic performers. very engaging, very enthusiastic and they definitely have a signature sound that they're developing which goes a long way towards making a show interesting.
the openers were decidedly mediocre. one-man band Yacht had tons of energy and a definite rapport with some of the audience but the music was very average. A.R.E. Weapons and Jamie Lidell have done it before and better. on the flipside, Still Flyin' had a bajillion band members, half of which seemed half-asleep for their set. and they basically play ska. 1996 all over again, dancing guy included. do they think we forgot about The Mighty Mighty Bosstones already?
summary: go see Architecture In Helsinki, but don't worry about getting there in time to catch the openers.
