Cold Shows
You know the shows you go to where you’ve never heard of the band but you go anyway? Anyone have a better term for this than ‘cold shows’?
Anywho, whatever I do call it, I always end up having a blast and oddly enough liking the opening act more than the headlining band.
For example:
The Bravery (3/13), opening act: Here Here
The Cribs (4/3), opening act: Ra Ra Riot
Mat Nathanson (11/2), opening act: Ingrid Michelson
Streetlight Manifesto (3/31), opening act: Zox
All those openers I thoroughly enjoyed, the only other cold show I’ve been to was Ghostland Observatory at Cafe du Nord (10/17/06) and they didn’t have an opener (well that I saw) and fell in love with them.
So safe to say, I’m down for any show whether or not I know or know of them.
Rock on!
