Karnivool

This Australian band is simply the best touring band of the modern day. Great songwriting that goes beyond mere rote metal or prog anthems, and the musicians are all master players. This is one of those rare bands where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Intense performers, they deliver a live set that will leave you breathless.

karnivool, come to croc more often, you're extremely talented. best show i've ever seen.

I fell in love with them the first time I saw them. Bought their newest album there then on began downloading all their music. I was honored to have the CD signed by Ian Kenny himself. Great people that create awesome music and put on a phenomenal show. An unforgettable experience. Cannot wait to see them again.

just so you all know that in 2010 in west Hollywood saw karnivool the best show I have ever seen and I mean ever what a beautiful sound they create, I got a picture of me shaking marks hand and he gave me a great big hug told him that it was great honor to meet you and that you will be very big one day....as far as im concerned they are best band of the this last decade and the decade to come long live karnivool!!!

The show was great! I wasn't a huge fan of Karnivool before the show but i'm always up for a good show and my friend was super excited to see them live. I left the concert a fan with a CD in my hand and a smile on my face. Karnivool sounded great from beginning to end. Ian Kenny kept looking out into the crowd seemingly in amazement that such a small crowd could be so energetic.

Karnivool is simply amazing! They sounded absolutely perfect as they usually do.

This was an event that had so few people for such an amazing band. In the same it was nice. Bonus to talk them after the show. Really cool guys. Cheers Karnivool. Next round add Nashville to your tour. We won't let ya down.

They never seize to amaze my friends and I. This is my second Karnivool concert in six months. When I knew they were coming back to town, I just had to see them again. They are incredible on CD, but mindblowing live.

This is the 2nd time I've seen Karnivool this year (after discovering them only a few months ago on tour with Fair to Midland), and although they don't draw a huge crowd yet here in the states (there was probably 150 people in attendance last night), they are a phenomenal group with a fantastic live set. Their music is so well written and powerful, they have quickly become one of my personal all-time favorite bands, and once again they performed flawlessly on stage. The majority of the Bowery crowd was enthusiastic (though not frenetic), and the band reflected a similar energy with humble appreciation for those in attendance. If you haven't seen them yet or picked up their albums, I highly recommend you do so, especially if you are a fan of melodic, progressive modern rock. Karnivool kicks ass, and with some more promotion they have the potential to achieve (well deserved) huge success in America. Come back soon guys, and keep up the great work... you rock!!!

No words can describe how incredible the live performance is.

Few times in my life can I say I've had life-changing experiences. Karnivool live at Bowery was definitely one of them. Every lyric, every chord, every drum fill, every bit of energy from that stage spoke to me. It was absolutely perfect.

I'll start with the only negative part of the night, Karnivool's opening act (Tides of Men?) were absolutely terrible. However, seeing Karnivool was well worth the wait/torture. The ticket prices were cheap. I would have gladly paid more to see them. The crowd was small (150-200 people), however, everyone was singing along, and the floor was literally moving to people bouncing to the bass. Great time. I will definitely go see them again. Also, for the venue: That's the first time I've been to the Masquerade, and I have to say, I thought it was a great place for a show. Karnivool played upstairs in a large room. The building is made of stone on the inside, which has a great look. I was impressed for a smaller venue. The drinks were a bit pricey. $4.50 for a bottle of beer. $3.00 Draft. $1.50 very small cup of coke. $4.00 for a small Redbull. Those are the only prices I know. Summary: GO SEE KARNIVOOL

To see a band like Karnivool in such an intimate setting was a treat! The band did not disappoint and exceeded my expectations. They performed their complex set flawlessly. Even as I sit here two days later listening to their music, I close my eyes and I'm right back in the musical grip of their live performance. Bravo, fellas, Bravo. Needless to say...I cannot wait for them to return!

Sound quality was great. Lead singer was full of verve and is a great frontman. Overall, Karnivool was AMAZING!!

I would up tso close to the bands I could taste their sweat. Touching the stage. The performers were out of this world. Tides of Man DESTROYED IT. They went BEYOND meeting my expectations. Karnivool? OBSCENELY GOOD. I was COMPLETELY engaged throughout the entire performance. The best part? MEETING BOTH BANDS AND SHARING CASUAL CONVERSATION WITH THEM FOR OVER 20 MIN. Great people.
