I'm seeing those 3 bands together in "tonight"


Should be a nice triple bill.


I'm going to this tonight. Should be decent. Haven't been to a concert since my son was born....and then get to see BTS on friday. Good week.


This was a great show last night. FR were the clear headliners but WWPJ and TS were also great. TS was far more engaging live than their studio work. You will enjoy.


More people enjoyed FR (my wife included) but they didn't do much for me. I really enjoyed WWPJ, they were very good and so were TS. I've probably listened to the first 4-5 tracks of their (Twilight Sad) new album a boatload this week and when the played them live they really struck a chord.

I really enjoyed all 3 acts.

The TS lead singer was a bit pretentious, attempting to channel Ian Curtis at times with his on-stage theatrics but was certainly entertaining. And they had the biggest sound of the three. They need to lighten up a bit, though, and not take themselves so seriously.

WWPJ seemed just happy to be there and was lacking some stage presence but put on a good show anyway. Not much banter and sounded just like the album, which isn't necessarily a criticism.

FR was very good as well. Had a lot of fun, great with the crowd (which was pretty large by Utah standards---kind of surprised me that they had this big of a following here). The lead singer was soliciting whiskeys from the crowd throughout the night and was obliged multiple times. We also were all invited onto their touring bus after the show. Needless to say, we took a pass on that.

Overall, very good performances by all 3. If you like any or all of their albums, it's well worth your $11.

$11??? Whoa. Don't think they're coming near me, though.

$8 for Boise....and there were probably 50 people there until the FR set and about another 35 showed. Very sad showing.

Sold out show here in LA -- fantastic bill, had us all bouncing. Having seen Twilight Sad and Frightened Rabbit a couple of times before, I knew what to expect, but Jetpacks blew me away. I'd like to see 'em do their own headline act.

Stellar show -- I am now lacking sleep as a result.
