OK. I’ll be frank…. where was the love? There was a little something missing from Friday’s Fictionist show. I found it lacking the usual electric atmosphere. There were moments where it shone through, but at the end I found myself wanting a little more. It might have been the fact that it was a showcase of new material that they haven’t quite broken in yet… or, maybe I haven’t been broken in. The songs were all good, I especially liked Blue-eyed Universe and Strangers in the Dark, though throughout the set I found myself waiting for the energy and life that had enchanted me previously.
In any case, I was pleased to note that the energy came back in full-force when they closed their set in a most epic fashion with Invisible Hand. The encore kept me faithful with Noisy Birds, and a mind-blowing cover of I Want You (She’s So Heavy).
I am also thrilled to note that I have finally regained my hearing after nearly going deaf from the enthusiastic decibel level Gypsy Cab decided to put out.
