Well, for one, the show was held in a shitty techno club. There were like four opening acts and every single one was a Chromatics' member's side project. They ranged from dance music to jangle-pop and they were all
totally fucking forgettable and bland and the sum of it lasted three damn hours before Chromatics went on as themselves.
The decor was faux vintage movie posters based on song titles on LED screens, absolutely
everywhere. Next to the band, behind the band, all around the merch table (the LPS were at least cheap, I must say), but fuck, between that and the garish neon signs everywhere, the humidity, the venue being filled beyond capacity, I had a serious headache by the end of the night, at like 3:30 AM.
The actual Chromatics set was decentish, as I recall, but everyone seemed really drained and it was not at all worth everything I was putting up with to see them.
The whole thing seemed reeeeeeally self-congratulatory and was terribly off-putting. Not my vibe at all. I'll still check out whatever comes out because I enjoy the tunes, but I'm not attending any further shows.
