Holy.Ghost! and Jessica.6.(L!V3) in Brooklyn

$H!T.  The L train is shut down for the weekend, so I had to jump on a different train to get to Williamsburg.  At first it looked a bit confusing at the directions they had posted on the wall, but it lined up pretty well. Now, how to get back home.  I hope it's the same way (which it was). 
I arrived to the venue and  the doorman had a hard time scanning my paper ticket.  When it scanned, he told me "if it was scanned before?".  This is the reason why I prefer my tickets at  will call.  He let me, thank God.   I walked in and the place was empty.  Only a few of us here.  There was a DJ (Eli Escobar) playing really cool music (about time).  I walked around and I like this place.  It's half the size of Webster Hall with a really good sound system. 

Midnight.Magic was the first band and they got the party started.  The lead female singer is funny.  She knows how to pump up a empty room and turn it into a party.  She got some people moving.
Jessica.6 was up next and the venue started to get busy.  It was another SOLD OUT concert for Holy.Ghost! and this is the last show for the year.  It was a  night of NYCity bands  and Jessica 6 did a great job.  Nomi came out looking HOT (as always)!  Not to many costume changes, but a strip down.  She slowly took off her top and revealed a almost naked chest.  The bra had nipples that made you think for a second.
My first time seeing Holy.Ghost! and they did not disappoint.  I always missing this band when they come to Los Angeles and what a show.  They had this really cool stage set up that reminded me of the old days (from what I saw in pictures).  They had all this electronic equipment that reminded me of early Kraftwerk concerts.  

I looked into the crowd and I did not see to many young kids in the crowd.   It was an 18 and over concert.  It was more of an older crowd and no drunks out of control around me.  I was up on a platform and you can see huge pockets of smoke in crowd.  This place was smoking it up.  You even smiled it in the bathroom.  

Holy.Ghost! set was quick.   Jessica.6, Midnight.Magic and DJ Eli Escobar all kicked a$$ tonight.  Even the guy up in front singing every song from Jessica.6 had a blast.  Music Hall of Williamsburg is a really cool venue, but $7.00 for beer, that's crazy!!!

WHAT?!?!?  I am up front at the Palladium?!   I'm never been right up front leaning against the rail.  Its almost 9 o'clock and the place is kind of empty.  You would think this concert would be sold out, but no.  The line up is GREAT and Cut Copy threw a kick a$$ show at Coachella this year.  So why a lite crowd?   I rushed here to catch Midnight Magic, but they have not gone up yet.
Midnight Magic was up and on bass was Andrew Raposo (he's from Jessica 6 and ex Hercules & Love Affair bass player),  how many bands is this guy bass playing for?  What a busy guy.  Midnight Magic is doing something different from what other dance bands are doing right now.  They are bringing 70's disco back to the dance floor with a 90's twist.  They played a couple of songs and they did a good job in pumping the crowd.  They got some of us moving and they where good.  If it wasn't for that free download from Scion, I would of not heard about them. 
Washed Out was up next and they did pretty good.  Nothing new or different from the last time I saw them at the EchoPlex.  I looked around and it started to get busy. 
Cut Copy hit the stage and what a show!  Of course people went crazy when they played, "Light & Magic", but it wasn't as bananas as Coachella...that was insane.   I was looking forward to the door that they displayed really cool visuals.  I wonder why they didn't bring it with them this time?  

They actually played "Sun God" in it's entirety and it was FCVKn AWESUM!   Tim Hoey (Guitar/Sampler) was all over place, but in a good way.  Couldn't keep my eyes off him. He was always doing something crazy.  Tim Hoey would get his guitar and drag it along the stage to get some noise.  There are times when he would get a tambourin and hit the symbols harder then the drummer.  He was pretty wild.  You would think the crowd would be wild too, but where I was at, they kept it together.  
If you haven't gotten the new album; Zonoscope or seen them live, you are missing out.   Everytime I see them, they throw an AMAZING show and they NEVER disappoint.
