Openers Cold Showers’ bass broke literally a few seconds into their set. He went on to borrow a bass from Veronica Falls, and the showed carried on. The band crept around in cave-like darkness not revealing much but the oft-hand silhouette or shadow. There was an uncanny likeness to Joy Divison for the dark-nature of their post-punk rock, with a emphasis on heavy bass-work and persistent pounding drums.
Veronica Falls released new album Waiting For Something To Happen last month and it’s a great listen. The band were up in spritis, thanking the crowd for making it through even with all of the snow that fell over the last few days. It wasn’t a show to miss, the band were locked in a pure groove all night. Highlights for me were the spell-boundingly great new single of theirs “Teenage” “Buried Alive” as well as “Broken Toy” which they said is their next single.
I feel like Veronica Falls are unappreciated and vastly overlooked by a majority of music fans. There was not one bad song in their set last night, and they played with great energy and seemed enthused to be their. You can’t ask for anything more than that.
