Noctura

The concert was incredible. Mandy's vocals sounded perfect all night, Myles had tons of energy, and the guitar playing and drums sounded spot on (especially Jeremy's solos). The encore was a really interesting take on System of a Down's Chop Suey, starting out soft with slower singing to a piano and strings accompaniment, and picking up more energy and the rest of the full band after the second chorus. They also had a guest vocalist for that song (another female singer, though I didn't catch her name) whose harmonies were beautiful and went perfectly with Mandy's singing and the rest of the music. For me, the highlights of the night were: \u2022 Everything: probably my favorite song on the album, and the one they opened with - and thus the first Noctura song I ever got to hear live \u2022 Undone: lots of energy in this song, especially with the little guitar riffs Jeremy added in a couple spots during the verses \u2022 Fade: great song, awesome solo! \u2022 My Last Goodbye: didn't know if they'd play it since it wasn't on the album, but it's always been one of my favorites by them so I was very glad to hear it - great melody! \u2022 Venom: I was afraid that when they played Don't Save Me it was going to be their last song, as bands often close with their big hit, so I was very happy when they went into Venom. It's another one of my favorites on the album, with a great metal feel - lots of heavy drums and guitars, especially toward the end. \u2022 Chop Suey: as I described above, it was just amazing. I guess my "highlights" were actually more than half the concert, but that's what happens when the entire concert is that good. I look forward to a lot more from this band, as they have a very bright future ahead of them. Rock on! \\m/

This show was great! Pragmatic and DMG were good, but I LOVED Noctura! Mandy's voice is amazing, the guitar playing was awesome and I loved the mixture of different instruments they brought out! I can't wait til the next show!

These bands are the bomb! Go see them if you get the chance!
