Concert Review: The Mars Volta at the Midland by AMC

BY ELGIN SMITH

When I first considered doing a review of the Mars Volta, a few thoughts came to mind: Being a fan of progressive rock, I thought it would be an exhilarating concert to attend - one that could achieve sensory overload. Listening to the band's studio releases sometimes gets me to the point of disinterest, but, I thought, seeing a live

Huh, weird. That's the show my BFF was at, and she's a huge fan and she said it wasn't the greatest show, that it was really short with no encores, and the sound quality was poor. She called me from the show but I couldn't hear anything, heh.

But FUCK I WANT TO SEE THEM PLAY INERTIATIC ESP AARGGHGRHGRH WHY WON'T THEY COME HERE

(and yeah, I know like every comment I make here is really just me bitching about it, haha)

It was too short, which was the venue. . .not the boys. Sound was a bit off. Still a great show, and I shall work on getting mi vatos your way!

P.S. Did your day get any better? We're smoking a bowl here in Dallas, decompressing before the show.

Well, I'm back on a computer now, so at least there's that. But my friend is still laid off. :( She worked for the company I used to work for last year (that's how we met)... I don't know if you remember me posting about how my paychecks were bouncing? Yeah, THAT company. It officially went under today, like I always knew it would. The guy running it (my former boss) is a worthless piece of shit. < /end rant>
