04.30.2010 Red Sparowes / Caspian
I was rather bummed to find out that Fang Island, who was on this tour, wouldn't be making it out to the Canadian dates due to a passport issue. (always a passport issue...) At least we got a longer Caspian set.
Caspian's front man, Phillip Jamieson is a tall dude, which came in handy because the Biltmore has a low stage. Anyways, they started their set with a couple of tunes from their latest album Tertia. If you like post-rock you'll like these guys. Their style of post-rock is similar to Explosions in the Sky and Mono. While their songs don't tug at your heart strings quite as hard as Mono's does, they do do the genre justice and can rock out with the best of em. Since they had a longer set than usual they were able to bring out an oldie, Brombie from their first album. Their last song, Sycamore,
Admitted, I'm a bigger fan of Red Sparowes' early albums than their later releases. They still do bring get the job done though when it comes to moody brooding soundscape-y post rock. Looks like they've replaced one of their guitarists since the last time I saw them. I know this because one of the guitarists is now female. They're still doing their projections if you're wondering, which a few people in the crowd were using to play with their silhouettes. The setlist contained some older songs, but was generally dominated by newer ones. I don't think Red Sparowes have worsen over the years, but to be honest, I really don't recall the newer songs being that memorable. For those who stayed until the end of the set, there was no encore, but I'm sure most were happy to get their post rock fix.
