The Bravery at Chameleon Club, Lancaster PA.
with Your Vegas and Fiction Plane
I missed first openers Your Vegas, but Fiction Plane was energetic and entertaining. Their music comes across differently live; much harder guitar and rhythm section than on their album The Left Side of the Brain. The track Cigarettes, from an older album, is the live standout.
The Bravery put on a good show, very little fuss but solid playing. They mixed the set up with songs from their self titled debut and new tracks from The Sun and the Moon. Standouts included An Honest Mistake and set opener Fearless, as well as Sun track Every Word Is a Knife in My Ear. The crowd seemed more hyped about the older tracks, although Above and Below also got a good reaction. They also broke out old cut The Dandy Rock, with Sam Endicott letting his bandmate take over on vocals. Some of the newly remixed Moon tracks weren't as high energy as the rest of the set, but all in all a strong gig.
The band strangely bypassed the traditional leave-the-stage-and-return-for-the-encore break, telling the audience to pretend they left. Weird, but actually kind of nice, since everyone knows the band is coming back anyway.
Track: This Is Not the End
