On January 23rd, I went to the Night Terrors of 1927 album release show at The Roxy. It was absolutely fantastic and my friends and I had a great time. Though a drunk lady's antics added moments of confusion, amusement, and second-hand embarrassment to the end of the show (she got up on stage and danced, was removed by the lead singer Jarrod, and later interrupted the encore, which incited the reactions of Jarrod and the guitarist Blake). Between and during songs, they handed out roses with band buttons on them, and I got one from Jarrod. After the show, we chatted with Jarrod, Blake, and their touring multi-instrumentalist Cecelia, all of whom were really nice.The album they just released is called Everything's Coming Up Roses and I highly recommend it. It has its share of both slow and upbeat songs, and Jarrod's voice sounds great. I'd also check out their EPs Guilty Pleas and Anything to Anyone.
Considering how mediocre the Roxy is at lighting (sure, it's a small venue, but red/blue backlight is so restricting), my pictures from the show turned out really well. The lights during the NTO1927 set weren't as bad as the lights during the opener (FMLYBND), but they still weren't ideal. However, the band made up for it because they have their own personalized gobo, which is sick.
