Hard Summer Tour

Sweet event.. was bummed about the venue change (went from the Electric Factory to the Blockley) but the Blockley ended up being pretty cool. With the smaller venue I ended up front and center for the first two artists. Free on street parking after 8pm. Wish I had known that before I paid at the lot. haha. All in all a great show--- Destructo and Designer Drugs killed it. Was also bummed Caspa was dropped from the show when the venue changed. But like I said, sweet show, lots of fun, and a hell of a night.

I don't know who the opening acts were because I showed up late. I caught the end of whoever came on before Digitalism and it was really good. As for Digitalism, they were very animated on stage and this made it a very fun show.

Perfect location, nice people, Digitalism was amazing!

Digitalism was very good, and surprising with their mix of acoustic drums and pure electronica. But I've never seen Terminal 5 so dead! And the event ended much earlier than I'd expected (1am!), perhaps because one band had canceled and the turnout was so poor? So I only caught Digitalism in action. So overall, good band/DJs, but disappointing event.

Long time fan of Digitalism. First time seeing them live, and they were exceptional. Jens sang live and manned the equipment with Isi, and they even had a live drummer. Everyone went crazy during Reeperbahn and sang along when they closed the set with Pogo.

First of all, I will say Terminal 5 is a great venue. Large enough to accommodate a large crowd, and the upper levels make it even better if you want to avoid the mosh. There are bars everywhere, and, while the drinks are a bit overpriced, you won't have to worry about battling through a crowd to find a bar. As for the show, Digitalism was amazing. The only problem was that they played for less than an hour! I love this group and the material they played was fantastic live, but when they left I figured it must be for a set break...unfortunately they never returned to the stage. We got there late, and still had to watch the opening DJ, Switch, for about two hours. Talk about a show that lacked energy! This show consisted entirely of never-ending cheesy techno beats that never went anywhere. I was bored within 5 minutes of this guy's set. Conclusion: Go to Terminal 5 if a band you like is playing. Go anywhere to see Digitalism, hopefully they will have less opening acts! And, above all, avoid Switch at all costs. Thanks for reading.

One of the best nights of my life. Amazing energy, amazing crowd, amazing groups. Destructo, switch, and designer drugs really pumped up the crowd, and Digitalism was such a nice end to the show. All around fantastic night.

It was my first time seeing everyone there. Destructo started a little slow but near the middle of his set he definitely got everyone moving. then next, i believe, was Designer Drugs. They were fucking sick. favorite act of the night hands down. they just had so much energy, they were very into the crowd psychology. Switch was alright. I felt like he did mad tech house. unless i'm rolling tech house can get boring, sometimes. but he was pretty good overall. As for Digitalism, it was very hit or miss for me. Some songs were good, others were annoying. The drum aspects of rock music were cool but the whiny singing was annoying.

The night started a bit slow. Some good DJ's, some not-so-great. The opening DJ's played mostly other people's stuff, which was alright, but kind of a typical club atmosphere (only a bit more lame since it was at Terminal 5). Digitalism went on about midnight and really rocked the place. Great show!

Digitalism played for like 45 minutes. Not worth the 45$ I paid to see them. The show was relatively empty, so I was able to get right up front, which was cool

Digitalism should have gone on sooner! The other artists were lame.

Wish it was still @ the FOX in Oakland. Openers were kind of weak. Should of have live performances just like the main act. Just not into DJ sets but i knew what I was getting into. Again Should of been @ the FOX.

Was expecting just short sets and instead happily surprised to be completely wrong. Mezzanine is a preferred venue for dance to the originally sated Fox Theater. Did miss that a good light show didn't go with the line up and that the crowd could have been larger but minor gripes all in all.

Digitalism's set was less than an hour, with no encore. What they played was great, but I still left very disappointed.
