So last night was the first show of their new tour circuit, and it was in Maine, so naturally I had to go.

Was accompanied by my best friend, my roommate, and my roommate's friend.

We were also first in line because we showed up two hours before the doors opened. We ended up in the first row of seats, which is about midway back because there's a lot of standing-room floor space at the front.

I got some video!

That's my voice freaking out over the awesome setup at the beginning. My camera's bad so you can't see it, but each of the three had their own set of four Lemur pads plus other controllers at their station. And then giant LED MIDI conga drums. And whatever the heck you'd call those massive LED MIDI drums behind them. It's different then the setup I'd seen them use before in videos, and it's amazing. The patterns on the back screen were synched with the ones on the drums! It was really cool!

In addition to stuff from their new album, they played some songs from Drink The Sea (Animus Vox, We Swarm, Drive It like You Stole It, Fortune Days), Warrior Concerto and We Can Make The World Stop from the WCMTWS EP, and their remix of Derezzed.

Downsides were that it was very loud, and while I could definitely handle it sometimes the songs would drown themselves out which is a shame because I really like most of them. Other downside was that it only lasted about two hours, while the two opening acts (Penthouse Penthouse and Ana Sia) lasted an hour and a half between them and weren't nearly as good.

Also I'm really sore from all the air-drumming I did.
