Dear Leader

It was a total jailbreak on stage, but the results were amazing. The sound system delivered a well balanced sound package and the added members filled in every nook available........ a must see for future shows!

went to Paradise last night to see Tracy Bonham [opened for Dear Leader]. she was great, lighting and sound of show were great, ticket price was more than reasonable. only issue - hugh group of 20 year olds @ one side of stage screaming at top of lungs talking to one another during her set - totally ignoring her... so much so that she finally stopped midsong and complained - which they totally ignored. she seemed pissed and fans were annoyed. really wish bouncers/security staff asked them to take it down a few decibels or move their party to the lounge until their desired act came on. Again - Tracy amazing performer & have come to Paradise for years to see shows!

I was first introduced to these guys at a Sheila Devine reunion show and I have been hooked ever since. They killed it last night. It's always tough introducing new material when the die hard fans are so hooked on the old. But Dear Leader did it with ease and a solid well thought out set list. With a Killer encore, die hard fans singing along with the words and solid new songs Dear Leader is clearly here to stay. If you haven't seen them live you are missing out.
