IAMX.2013

Fonda.Theater.(Los Angeles, CA)

Wednesday.May. 15th

What the...HELL!!!  The opener had a great voice for someone who is hungover on the final show.  Some people where into him and other where just making fun.  It was something that I did not expect for IAMX  to have this one man show to open for him.  All he had was a guitar, a backing track with beats and a mic.  He had a good voice, but what the hell!?!?! 

Once again..IAMX was FCVKn...AWESUM!!!  Everyone in the band glitter bomb us.  Groovy.  IAMX played some new songs that sounded really good (can't wait).  The last time I saw him was maybe 5 years ago and I think this was a better show.  Chris Corner (Lead Singer) is a rock star.  He had his Rock-n-Roll boots on and glitter all over his face.  He reminded me of Dave Gahan (Lead Singer of DM) because of his energy on stage and body frame.  

Everyone in the band had there own unique look that my eyes where bouncing all over the place.  Each and every one of them had a different paint on there face. I wish they tour much and I was glad I was here to witness this fantastic show.

FCVK! I am tired of this hot weather. It was 95 yesterday and today is 90 but it feels 100. I want the cold and the rain from last week. Besides my rant about the weather, I am so excited to see Gary Numan tonight. I never seen him live and I was bend out of shape when he did not perform at Coachella this year because of the volcano. I heard alot of good things about him live so let's see. I read that he is playing "The Pleasure Principle" album only. AWESUM!

I walked in and I went straight for the shirt stand and then I realized, "he owns his own plane, he doesn't need money". I left and headed to the main floor. I looked around and it's a older crowd. Did not see anyone under 30 here at all. Some of these older folks don't care how they come to a concert. I see some of them wearing shorts with flip-flops. I know its warm out, but come on, put a little effort. Did not see any cool kids with skinny jeans, Toms, Converse, asymmetrical haircuts or plaid.

Over the P.A. I hear them playing Zola Jesus "Night" (beautiful song) being played. The person next to me thought it was Fever Ray. Okay. I heard this guy talking to his friend that he was here for The Knife concert (I was too). Would he not know that? I had to correct him. There was another person next to me wanting to know who was playing and I told him. I am the Zola Jesus promoter.

Gary Numan went on at 10 something and he was on it! He sounded great. I wonder why he decided to play "Cars" towards the middle of the show. I guess people expected that song to finish the night (like me). After they played that song, they cleared the stage of his synths. They brought him out a guitar and that's when it went into his electro hard rock set. It sounded good. It reminded me of Nine Inch Nails (I was trying to look for Trent in the crowd) and IAMX. I was looking around and some people where out of it. It seemed like they wanted to hear the old stuff. They woke up when he played a really cool remake of, "Are "Friend's" Electric?". It was Awesum. After that, he went off stage and came back with his hardcore electro rock stuff for three songs. Some people where into it and some where not. I heard about his rock stuff and it was okay. Over all, he was good. Rock on Gary! \m/
